An idyllic forest scene by Gustave Courbet that was looted from a Paris apartment in 1941 will be returned to the family of its original owners, according to a report by the Art Newspaper.
The painting, La Ronde Enfantine (1862), also known as Beneath the Trees at Port-Bertaud: Children Dancing, has been part of the collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge for years, courtesy of the Very Reverend Eric Milner-White, who donated the work after he purchased it in 1951.
