The French government announced Monday that it will return a Nazi-looted Gustav Klimt landscape painting to its rightful owners more than 80 years after it was stolen from a Jewish family in Austria in 1938.
The colorful 1905 oil work by the Austrian symbolist painter titled "Rosebushes under the Trees" has been hanging in Paris' Musée d'Orsay museum for decades.
French Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin told a Paris news conference that "the decision to return a major work from the public collections illustrates our commitment to the duty of justice and reparation vis-à-vis plundered families." The oil work will be returned to the family of Nora Stiasny, a Holocaust victim who was dispossessed during a forced sale in August 1938.

See “Woman in Gold” with Helen Mirren on Amazon Prime. Also a very similar true story, about a famous Gustav Klimt painting and its theft by the Nazis from the original Jewish collector’s family.

I think that was never covered, for better or wurst.
But the original prop painting did apparently sell for 15K pounds in ‘18.

That’s Pablo Picasso, not Gustav Klimt, lol. Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis, though, and does look a tad like the Picasso pic.
