One painting, Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon, Effect of Rain by Camille Pissarro, belonged to a Jewish woman, Lilly Cassirer who was compelled by a Nazi official to exchange it under duress for an exit visa to escape Nazi Germany[7] shortly after Kristallnacht in 1939.[8] By 2015, her descendants had filed a lawsuit against the museum, on the grounds that it was looted by the Nazis.[8][9] On May 1, 2019, a California judge determined that the museum held the right to keep the painting, despite international agreements to the contrary.[10]
