I happened to be in London staying with the Price-Joneses the day the painting arrived. I remember David showing it to me and then turning it over for me to see the Nazi eagle stamped on the back. No sooner had he received the painting than a letter came from the Belvedere explaining that the work was an important part of the national heritage and asking if they please could have it back on long-term loan. The answer was no.
