Painting found in Romania may be stolen Picasso

- From staff and wire reports

Romanian prosecutor­s are investigat­ing whether a painting by Pablo Picasso that was snatched from a museum in the Netherland­s six years ago has turned up in Romania. Four Romanians were convicted in the 2012 heist of Picasso’s “Tete d’Arlequin” and six other paintings from the Kunsthal gallery in Rotterdam. Romanian investigat­ors said Sunday that they were examining the circumstan­ces of a painting a fiction writer said she found under a tree based on an anonymous tip.
