The 26-year legal dispute between the heirs of the Jewish Cassirer family and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum over the ownership of Camille Pissarro's painting 'Rue Saint-Honoré por la tarde. Efecto de lluvia' has concluded its arguments and is now awaiting sentencing in the United States.
The painting in question was stolen by the Nazis in 1939, initiating a decades-long battle for its restitution between the original family's descendants and the Madrid-based museum.
