Portrait Found At Pier Seized As Possible Van Dyke Theft
Customs officers on the Holland America pier in Ifebeken seized a portrait among Van Wreck Brooks’s luggage from the Statendam and questioned its link to the Aug. 24 theft from Count Hanach’s Vienna gallery. Austrian authorities had offered 41,000 for its return and alerted officials on incoming steamers.
