Un portrait de Couture avait été acquis par Gurlitt en 1943, après le pillage de l’appartement de l’ancien ministre. Au printemps 1944, il le mit à l’abri chez un associé parisien, Raphaël Gérard, avant de le récupérer en 1953. Les chercheurs du projet de recherche allemand ont pu établir qu’il s’agissait bien de ce portrait car dans un dossier de revendications déposé après guerre par Béatrice Bretty, la compagne de Georges Mandel, il était précisé que la toile comportait un petit accident réparé sur la poitrine de cette brunette catholique bien sage ; ce qui fut confirmé par le laboratoire au moment de la préparation de l’exposition.

None of this is made easier by the fact that Hildebrand Gurlitt bought mainly works on paper rather than paintings, which tend to be less well-documented because they are generally less valuable. A further complication is that he worked “relatively systematically to erase traces of provenance” on the art, Zimmer says.The back of “Dame in der Loge,” for instance, has a penciled number that someone – probably Hildebrand Gurlitt – has erased, but it is still just about discernible. The number corresponds with Littmann’s inventory, identifying it as once in his possession. (English)

For five years, the elder Gurlitt, one of a handful of German dealers whom the Nazis had anointed to sell art confiscated from Jews and museums and sold abroad for foreign currency, had insisted these works were rightfully his. With the European recovery effort finally winding down, officials at a collection center in Wiesbaden agreed to return the cache to Gurlitt.On Dec. 15, 1950, the leader of the Allied unit, Theodore Heinrich, an American, signed the papers releasing the art to Gurlitt. The names and descriptions of a handful of paintings in the cache returned to Hildebrand Gurlitt — including gems by Otto Dix, Max Beckmann and Marc Chagall — appear to match those once hidden in the cluttered apartment of his son.
