From artdaily.org:
More than two years after masterpieces looted
by the Nazi regime were discovered in a Munich
apartment, the first artwork was returned
to the heirs of its original owner...
The caption of the photograph:
Christopher Marinello, lawyer representing the heirs of
Paul Rosenberg, looking at Henri Matisse’s ‘Femme Assise’
(Seated Woman) painting on May 15, 2015* in Munich...
in [an apartment occupied by] Cornelius
Gurlitt,
son of a Nazi-era art dealer, was handed back
to the Rosenberg
family today.
