The suit involved “Le Moulin de la Galette,” given to the Guggenheim in 1963 by the art dealer Justin K. Thannhauser, and “Boy Leading a Horse,” sold by Mr. Thannhauser to William S. Paley, who donated it to MoMA in 1964. In 2007 lawyers for Julius H. Schoeps, a great-nephew of the paintings’ original owner, Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, told the museums that they believed Mr. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, a German Jewish banker who died in 1935, had sold the works to Mr. Thannhauser under duress, and demanded their return.
