There is a setback in the Nazi art Restitution case.

The heirs of a woman who was forced to surrender a painting to the Nazis were dealt a blow on Tuesday when a California appellate court ruled that the museum should retain ownership. One of the longest-running Nazi restitution cases involves a painting by a French artist called "Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon, Effect of Rain". The painting was surrendered by a Jewish woman to get an exit visa from Germany in 1939. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Tuesday that the museum has a "prescriptive title" to the painting and that Spanish law applies to the case.
