The bust was discovered in a museum by Italian art historian Herucova in 2019 and sparked controversy when Culture Minister Martina Simkovicova decided to remove it due to security concerns. Critics argue that the bust requires expert conservation and research to confirm its authenticity. The bust has a complex history, having been looted from a family's home after World War II and later moved to a museum in Slovakia, where it was attributed to an unknown 19th-century artist. Herucova believes the bust is genuine Donatello work but hopes for further research to confirm this.

The Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL) has denied issuing permits for permanent exports of Rivera or Kahlo's works, but did not address Trujillo Soto's allegations directly.
