Portrait of Wally
''Portrait of Wally'' is a 1912 oil painting by Austrian painter Egon Schiele of Valerie "Wally" Neuzil, a woman he met in 1911 when she was 17 years old and who was a model for a number of Schiele's most striking paintings. The painting was purchased by Rudolf Leopold in 1954 and became part of the collection of the Leopold Museum when it was established by the Austrian government, purchasing 5,000 pieces that Leopold had owned. Near the end of a 1997-1998 exhibit of Schiele's work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the painting's history was revealed in an article published in ''The New York Times''. After the publication, the heirs of Lea Bondi Jaray, to whom the work had belonged, contacted the New York County District Attorney who issued a subpoena forbidding its return to Austria. The work was tied up in litigation for years by Bondi's heirs, who claimed that the painting was Nazi plunder and should have been returned to them.
In July 2010, the Leopold Museum agreed to pay $19 million to Bondi's heirs under an agreement that would address all outstanding claims on the painting.〔Staff.

==Early ownership and Nazi seizure==
As outlined in a 1997 article by Judith H. Dobrzynski in ''The New York Times'', the painting had been owned by Lea Bondi Jaray, who was fleeing the German annexation of Austria and the Aryanization program, and had under duress given up the painting to art dealer Friedrich Welz in 1939.〔 While Bondi's art gallery had already been "Aryanized", Welz had seen the painting in Bondi's apartment, where it was part of her private collection, and demanded that she turn it over to him. As they were to be fleeing the country any day, her husband convinced her to turn the painting over to Welz, saying "you know what he can do". Welz also forced Dr. Heinrich Rieger to sell his collection of Schiele paintings, before Rieger was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where he died.〔Bayzler, Michael J.; and Alford, Roger P.
