David David-Weill (August 30, 1871 – July 7, 1952) was a French-American banker, chairman of Lazard Frères in Paris, who built an important collection of art.

[4] In 1931, David-Weill transferred part of his collection to a British holding company called Anglo-Continental Art, Inc, which was owned by a Canadian corporation that he controlled.

[6] In late 1940, David-Weill sent twenty-six cases of paintings and antiquities to Lisbon for shipment on the SS Excalibur to New York, where they were to be sold by the Wildensteins, as property of Anglo-Continental Art, Inc.

[7][8] Many of looted paintings, such as Henri Fantin-Latour's Self-Portrait,[9] were recovered by the Monuments Men and returned to France which restituted them to David-Weill.

[11] Missing paintings were published in the Répertoire des biens spoliés en France durant la guerre 1939-1945, Groupe français du conseil de controle, 1947.
