A short time later, police raided the home but found the painting from the photographs had disappeared.
Now, a judge at the Federal Court at Mar Del Plata has placed Kadgien and her husband under a 72-hour house arrest on suspicion of interfering in a police investigation.
Portrait of a Lady was one of around 800 pieces of art stolen from Goudstikker by Hermann Göring, the supreme commander of the Nazi air force.
It eventually ended up in the hands of Friedrich Kadgien, who ultimately escaped to Argentina.
Gouldstikker died in 1940 while attempting to flee the Netherlands by sea. His body was found with a small notebook detailing his entire collection.
He had one son, Edo, who died in 1996 and whose wife, Marei von Saher, 81, is unwavering in her commitment to bringing the stolen art home.
“My search for the artworks owned by my father-in-law Jacques Goudstikker started at the end of the 90s and I won’t give up,” she told AD. “My family aims to bring back every single artwork robbed from Jacques’ collection and restore his legacy.”
