"n 2011 a highly publicized story appeared in the press, detailing the return of one of Alfred Sommerguth’s paintings to his heirs. Madame La Suire, by Albert von Keller, was discovered at the Kunsthaus Zürich by chance, during an exhibition on Keller organized by the Kunsthaus. It had been donated to the museum in 2006 by the widow of Oskar Mueller, a Keller collector. The heirs agreed to leave the painting with the Swiss museum, with an added text panel detailing its provenance. This was the fourth painting returned to the Sommerguth estate in three years, including a painting by Karl Blechen pulled from sale at Sotheby’s in 2008. Jardin des Plantes has not appeared on the market since 1939, and its current whereabouts are unknown." (language: en)
