A looted painting has returned to the National Museum in Warsaw. Jacek Malczewski's The Piano Lesson (1877) disappeared from the museum after the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
The picture was spotted when it was offered for sale at Roseberry's London last November, where it was spotted by experts and withdrawn. Furthermore, the back of the painting still bears the mark 'MN', the marking made when it was in the museum's collection before the outbreak of the war.
