An 18th-century painting, "Portrait of a Lady," stolen by Nazis during WWII, has been recovered in Argentina. The painting, by Giuseppe Ghislandi, resurfaced in an online real estate listing, leading to an investigation. Dutch journalists played a key role in the discovery, prompting authorities to raid the home of Friedrich Kadgien's daughter. The painting, valued at $50,000, was recovered and is now in safekeeping. The Kadgien's face charges of concealment and obstruction of justice.
