Dutch art detective Arthur Brand recovered"Buste de Femme," a Picasso painting valued at $28 million that was stolen in 1999. By Kyle Swenson Kyle Swenson Reporter for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow March 27 at 5:21 AM The painting was the Saudi prince’s closely guarded secret.
But when workers came to fetch the Picasso on March 11, the painting was gone. “This is one of the strangest art robberies I have come across and we still have no clues,” an investigator hired to track down the stolen canvas told the Independent. Brand was able to use his connections to track down the Picasso and has since turned the $28 million painting over to an unnamed insurance company.
Posing as a wealthy Dallas-based collector, Brand helped track down the sellers, a Nazi-sympathizing family that illegally possessed the bronzes, which technically belonged to the German government. Brand’s tips led to raids throughout Germany of Nazi-era antiquities.

I was wondering why this painting looked so familiar to me. It's cause my six year old with autism drew one just like it at school in art class! My hubby and I were blown away with his talent! Brandon has some serious brush strokes skills! He could be the next Picasso!
You lost me at 'heisted from a rich Saudi' prince's yacht'
