>It is one of 2,200 such artistic orphans in France — known as MNR, short for Musées Nationaux Récupération, or National Museums Recovery. These artworks were retrieved from Germany and Austria after 1945 and entrusted to French national museums in the early 1950s.
They're displaying the artwork with no known heir. And they're held in trust, so if an owner comes forward it will go to them.
As always, f*** Nazis.

Read the article. The French collaborated extensively in the plunder, acknowledging it themselves finally inb1995

I mean it seems like you just put a plaque under the piece, but if there is no known owner. . .

This is the sad part of it all, the owners and their heirs were likely all murdered.
As always, f*** Nazis and f*** the modern Nazis we are seeing today.

Of course there's no known heirs. The entire family was murdered in the camps. All the Jewish survivors of the camps are the heirs to all the stolen property without heirs.
