Manhattan prosecutors said Thursday that "An Amorous Couple," by Pierre Louis Goudreaux, was stolen from the Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of the Arts in Kyiv, Ukraine, around 1943.
The U.S. says the painting, also called "A Loving Glance," resurfaced in 2013, listed on a New York auction house's website.
