Heirs ask Paris court to void £1.2m Sotheby's Pissarro sale over Nazi-loot claim

Seven heirs of Jewish banker Salomon Flavian have asked a Paris court to cancel Sotheby's in London sale of Camille Pissarro's Darse de peche et bassin Duquesne (1902). The Dieppe harbour scene sold for £1.2 million on 25 June 2024, published results show. The heirs say the work was looted by Nazis in Paris in 1941.
