A £7million Vincent Van Gogh drawing, once looted by the Nazis from a Jewish banker, is being sold by a British family of art collectors who fear they will be hit by Rishi Sunak raising capital gains tax.
The sketch on paper, called La Mousme, makes up £16million worth of works by celebrated artists including Lucien Freud and Henry Moore being sold off by the Gibson family.
The astonishing Van Gogh portrait of a young girl was produced by the Dutch master in 1888 before being bought by a German-Jewish banker called Kurt Hirschland in 1920.
He and his family later moved to Amsterdam after Adolf Hitler came to power.
