Somewhere within the apartment, the team uncovered a shocking discovery – a painting of a sophisticated woman in a satin gown. Choppin-Janvry and his team speculated that it was the creation of famous artist Giovanni Boldini but had no definitive proof.
They believed the painting to be of Marthe de Florian, the homeowner’s grandmother, and original owner of the residence. Although, the team was astonished that the art had survived the perilous looting during the war, which cost Europe 20 percent of its artwork – 100,000 pieces of which were never returned.
