(P1683) "In September 2015 a small party assembled in Mansion House, London, for a private tour of the institution's world- renowned collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings. Among the group was a sprightly 94-year-old Dutch woman, Charlotte Bischoff van Heemskerck, along with members of her family and Anne Webber, the co-chairman of the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, the organisation responsible for locating and retrieving works of art stolen by the Nazis during the Second World War.There was one work in particular, of deeply personal significance, that Bischoff van Heemskerck - known to her family and friends as Hetty - had come to see: a 17th-century painting called The Oyster Meal by the Dutch master Jacob Ochtervelt.It was almost 75 years since Hetty, the daughter of an eminent doctor and art collector named Joan Hendrik Smidt van Gelder, had last seen the painting hanging on the wall of her father's waiting room in the family home in the Dutch town of Arnhem.In 1942, in the wake of the invasion of Holland by the Germans in May 1940, the painting had been removed to a bank vault for safekeeping, where it had remained until 1945 when it was plundered by the Nazis."
