View source for Judith Weil request for the return of Schloss paintings at the Louvre

Mrs Weil asked J. Jaujard to send her the paintings that the Louvre had acquired. He sent her a list of the works with their estimated value. Jaujard explained that “the Germans were very keen to acquire several of the works which we had chosen; they pressured us to withdraw but we refused and exercise the law of pre-emption.” Jaujard was still keen to acquire them in agreement with Mrs Weil. Mr. René Huyghe, who just returned to Paris was available to discuss the matter with her. [Correspondence from the Directeur des Musées Nationaux et de l’École du Louvre (J. Jaujard) to Madame P.E.
