A landscape by Claude Monet has been found in a suitcase the late German collector Cornelius Gurlitt had with him during a hospital stay, the latest piece to emerge from his long-hidden art trove.

莫內一幅風景畫，在德國已故收藏家古里特住院時帶的一個行李箱裡被發現，是他長期隱藏的藝術收藏中最新出現的一件。

The suitcase was left at the hospital for unknown reasons, and was handed over earlier this week to the court-appointed administrator of Gurlitt’s estate, the task force investigating the pieces’ origin said Friday.

調查這件藝品來源的專案小組週五說，這個行李箱因不明原因被留在這家醫院，本週稍早被交給法庭指派的古里特資產管理人員。

The latest find comes after officials in July reported finding a few more works at Gurlitt’s Munich apartment, including a sculpture apparently by Edgar Degas.

在這項最新發現之前，官員才剛在7月通報說，發現古里特在慕尼黑的公寓內還有一些藝品，包括顯然是（法國印象派畫家）竇加的雕塑品。

Like the Monet, they weren’t among 1,280 pieces authorities seized from the apartment in 2012 while investigating a tax case, a collection that included works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall. It wasn’t immediately clear where the Monet was kept and why it wasn’t seized.

就像這幅莫內作品一樣，它們不在當局2012年調查一起稅務案時，從這間公寓扣押的1280件作品。那些收藏品包括畢卡索、馬蒂斯、夏卡爾的作品。目前不清楚這幅莫內作品保存在何處，以及為何沒被扣押。
