Picasso Thieves Have Their First Day In Court

Two men suspected of having stolen two paintings and a drawing by Pablo Picasso from an apartment belonging to the artist’s granddaughter remain in police custody following their first court appearance yesterday. A third man is being held as a “supervised witness,” and prosecutors expect to issue charges in the coming days. “The paintings – Portrait of Jacqueline and Maya with Doll – were found this week, along with the drawing Marie-Therese at Age 21. They were apparently in good condition and were recovered following a tip-off from a contact in the art world.”
