Restitution of looted art
- The National Portrait Gallery in London owns a portrait by Peter Scheemaker , which de Quertenmont painted in oil on canvas in 1776. The previous owners are unknown, there is an indication of possible “ looting ” of Jewish property during the Nazi era : The painting came from Genevive Catherine Scheemakers to Marie Julie Thibaut (née Duboureq ). It is unclear how it came into the possession of Henri F. Rummel , President of the Shell Company in France, in Paris in 1934 .
