Brazilian police have recovered a print by Pablo Picasso, one of four works stolen from Sao Paulo’s Pinacoteca Museum in June, Reuters reported Sunday.
“The Painter and the Model,” from 1963, was one of four works taken in an armed robbery June 12, along with Picasso’s “Minotaur, Drinker, and Women,” “Couple” by Lasar Segall, and “Women in a Window” by Emiliano di Cavalcanti, both Brazilian artists. Police found the print while making an arrest for the attempted theft of an automated teller machine.
