She will likely auction off the painting to pay back compensation she previously got for missing artwork. Sulitzer said he fled the city to avoid being pressed into service by the Nazis for his art expertise. Weinberger died when Sulitzer, now 59, was a teenager, without ever getting the Renoir and a handful of other paintings returned to him. She had no idea of the paintings' existence, Sulitzer said, since they weren't discussed in her family. The owner of the piece voluntarily gave it up to be returned to Sulitzer, officials said.
