Loser pays!

The feds are fighting a lawyer’s attempt to collect more than $125,000 in fees and expenses in a losing case over a stolen artwork.

Manhattan federal prosecutors say it would be “absurd” to award lawyer Barbara Hoffman tax dollars for representing interior designer Sharyl Davis in her fight to keep “Le Marche” by French impressionist Camille Pissarro.

Court papers cite “several years of litigation, a pointless and unsuccessful pretrial trip to the Court of Appeals, and a jury trial” at which Davis was ordered to forfeit the 1884 masterpiece.

Davis bought the monotype print for $8,500 from a Texas antiques dealer in 1985, but saw it seized when she tried to auction it off at Sotheby’s in 2003.

The 6-by-8-inch artwork is slated to be sent back to the Faure Museum in the French Alps — where a thief grabbed it off the wall in 1981 — but it remains in storage pending an appeal by Davis.
