News from Australia that the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) have returned a portrait by Ter Borch to the heirs of the Bromberg family. The story linked above surrounds the painting's history and earlier claims from both the Bromberg and Emden heirs, who historically orchestrated sales of their collections of paintings during WWII to help flee Nazi persecution. Comment is also made on the nature of the museum's 'brief' announcement of the return.
