Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Édouard Vuillard" in English language version.
In the late 1990s, the National Gallery of Canada discovered that Édouard Vuillard's The Salon of Madame Aron (1904, reworked in 1934), which it had purchased in 1956, belonged to the Lindon family in France. The gallery contacted the descendant who, surprisingly, insisted that the artwork had never belonged to his family. The NGC maintained that the evidence was incontrovertible and encouraged the Lindon family to make a claim, which it finally did in 2003. The gallery returned the work in 2006.
