Spanish term

se pierde su pista

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is in a phrase that is describing a painting. I think the full phrase is ultimately meant to say, “the painting was lost in 1945” or “the painting went missing in 1945” - thoughts?

Here is the full sentence: Cierto es, también, que cuando Murillo empleó una imprimación clara, sobre el aparejo de tierra de Sevilla, ha sido posible registrar un concienzudo y rico dibujo subyacente, como el caso del boceto para el San Antonio con el Niño del Kaiser-Friederich Museum, Berlín, del que se pierde su pista en 1945 [5].

Context How about sharing the whole sentence with us? Otherwise we will just be guessing.

Like Patinba and Christian, I would like the whole sentence so we can offer sth suitable for this particular context. Christian's suggestion sounds great but even so, here's another possible alternative.
