The Girl Reading in White and Yellow by French artist Henri Matisse was one of seven works stolen from the Kunsthal in Rotterdam. Painted in 1919, the painting shows a woman reading a book deep in thought, seated next to a table decorated with flowers. The theft of this work of art and the others in the robbery was one of the largest in the Netherlands in over a decade. Reading Girl in white and yellow
The thieves broke into the museum through an emergency exit and stole several works before fleeing within two minutes. The mother of one of the thieves also claims that after her son's arrest, she was scared and buried the stolen artwork in an abandoned house and cemetery in the town of Carcaliu. She later dug up the paintings and burned them on her stove. After a search of the stove, traces of pigment were found, but there was not enough hard evidence to prove her claim. The painting is still listed as missing, and the investigation continues.
