Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe" in English language version.
Four drawings by the artists Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen, Augustin de Saint-Aubin and Anne Vallayer-Coster have been identified as Nazi-confiscated art by the Gurlitt Provenance Research project. Their origins can be traced back to the Jewish family Deutsch de la Meurthe in Paris, in whose private home they were hanging. The house was confiscated during the National Socialist occupation. After the end of the war, the family filed a loss report that included the drawings. In the context of the "Kunstfund Gurlitt" (Gurlitt Art Trove), it became known that these four works, along with 14 other pieces, were in possession of Benita Renate Gurlitt (1935–2012). As the works were part of Hildebrand Gurlitt's art collection and because of their significance for coming to terms with the National Socialist art theft, they were included in the research of the Gurlitt Provenance Research project and published in the Lost Art Database of the German Lost Art Foundation in July 2017. The current owner has acknowledged the Washington Principles and decided in favor of the restitution of Nazi-confiscated art. The works are on display as part of the "Bestandsaufnahme Gurlitt" exhibit at the Gropius Bau in Berlin from September 14, 2018 until January 7, 2019. The descendants of the Deutsch de la Meurthe family have been contacted, and it is their wish that the works be presented.
