The pastel, Bord de Mer, seized by the Gestapo from the Parlagi family, symbolizes the long struggle for restitution of art looted during the Nazi era.
Helen Lowe and Françoise Parlagi expressed their gratitude, stating, 'This is a very moving and exceptional day for us, a day neither of us ever thought would happen.'
Bela Parlagi, who passed away in 1981, spent years trying to reclaim his possessions, but only found success through his granddaughters' efforts with CLAE.
The investigation led by CLAE and the FBI underscores the ongoing challenges and significance of art restitution for families affected by the Holocaust.
