The story of an Otto Greiner drawing lost from Dresden after World War II, found at the Getty and now going back.

Dresden’s Kupferstich-Kabinett bought Greiner’s 1892 drawing of a standing male nude in 1894 and marked it as lost after the war; it later turned up at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. The show follows the drawing’s wartime path, the provenance tools researchers use to trace missing artworks, and its coming return to Dresden.
