I believe the Orkins grief should be with Sotheby’s. They did not practice due diligence in selling the painting which from what I have read was common practice with Nazi stolen art for decades.

Yes, but Liz has the painting. Had she lost, she'd go after Sothebys

According to net sources Liz' father was an "art dealer". She married at least two Jewish guys and converted to at least what might be describe as a "non-observant" form of Judaism.

It's really difficult to believe that she was unaware of the general problem of art stolen from Jews by the Nazis ~ she certainly had more opportunity to find out about it that most other people.
