A Nazi-looted painting by Hans Wertinger has been restituted to the heirs of the Jewish art dealers Isaac Rosenbaum and Saemy Rosenberg by the German state of Baden-Würtemberg.

The work Bildnis Pfalzgraf Johann III (ca. 1526) - which belonged to the collection of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart - has been returned almost 80 years after the dealers, who sold the work in 1936, were forced to pay the proceeds from the sale into a Nazi-government account.
