A watercolor by Egon Schiele, “Boy in a Sailor Suit,” is scheduled to be sold next month in London at Christie’s after the auction house brokered a settlement between the consignor and the heirs of a Viennese cabaret performer who owned the work before he was killed in a Nazi concentration camp.

The 1914 portrait, with a low estimate of $1.3 million, is one of about 80 works by the Austrian Expressionist artist that the cabaret performer, Fritz Grünbaum, possessed. An outspoken critic of the Nazis, Grünbaum was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 and was imprisoned in two concentration camps, including Dachau, where he died in 1941.

After decades of working to trace and reclaim his collection, his heirs, Timothy Reif and David Fraenkel, have recovered or reached settlements on a number of Schiele works on paper in recent years. Christie’s has auctioned 12 of the recovered works.

The heirs, with support from investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, have said that Grünbaum’s wife, Elisabeth,milyon88 was forced to hand over the art collection to Nazi officials. Elisabeth was deported to a concentration camp in 1942 and murdered.

But the Art Institute of Chicago, which has a Schiele watercolor once owned by Grünbaum, has cited evidence that it says disputes that the collection was ever taken by the Nazis and has gone to court to fight the seizure of the work, called “Russian War Prisoner,” by investigators. The institute argues that the work was not looted, but remained in Grünbaum’s family until it was sold to the art dealer Eberhard Kornfeld by Grünbaum’s sister-in-law, Mathilde Lukacs, in 1956.

A New York Supreme Court judge, who held several days of hearings on the dispute last fall, is scheduled to issue a ruling in the case in coming weeks.

“What he said or didn’t say is between him and the people of North Carolina,” said Mr. Vance, former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate. He added: “I’ve seen some of the statements. I haven’t seen them all. Some of them are pretty gross, to put it mildly. Mark Robinson says that those statements are false, that he didn’t actually speak them. So I think it’s up to Mark Robinson to make his case to the people of North Carolina that those weren’t his statements.”
