The Art Gallery of Hamilton has agreed to return a painting recently proven to have been seized from its rightful owners by the Nazis during the Second World War, the gallery announced Tuesday.

"Portrait of a Lady," by 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Verspronck, will be returned to the family of Alma Bertha Salomonsohn, whose husband Arthur was chairman of the board of Deutsche Bank.
