Recommendation
In a letter dated 17 October 2008, the Minister for Education, Culture and Science (hereafter referred to as: ‘the Minister’) requested the Restitutions Committee to issue a recommendation regarding the application for the restitution of the watercolour Horses by a stable by W. Verschuur II, which is currently in the Dutch National Art Collection and has inventory number NK 2569. It concerns a work of art that may have belonged to Eduard Hollander (1897-1944, hereafter referred to as: ‘Hollander’) that was returned to the Netherlands from Germany after the Second World War. The work is on loan to the Rijksmuseum’s National Print Collection in Amsterdam.
