Stolen the night of the 20 / May / 2010 by Vjeran Tomic (a burglar known as “Spider-Man”)

According to police sources, one of the alleged accomplices, a 34-year-old watch repairer known only as Jonathan B, told detectives that when
the other two men were arrested in May, he "panicked and destroyed the canvasses before throwing them into a rubbish bin"
So probably is now destroyed...


Unless James Bond do something:

james bond picture

Image from James Bond film Skyfall  where the painting ends in China in the hands of Spectre...
Just a joke...
