I asked about Picasso on the other thread because in the kitchen I have a plate hanging that I bought in the Gallerie de L'Athenee in Geneva in 1959 as a gift for my parents. I feel sure any thief would mistake it for a child's art project. One of a pair called "Visages Noir." I only had $20 to spend then and could not then afford the other one (it was food money). Wonder where the other one is. More interesting is a large oil painting that has never been properly identified and needs several thousand dollars' worth of restoration. It's either a French 19th-century oil copy of a Rubens-designed tapestry or possibly a 17th-century study FOR the tapestry. Depicts the death of King Porus of India as described in Plutarch. I like it and just keep it. Parents bought it from a bank (about 1950)on advice of artist friends who believed it school of Rubens.
