Interesting news from Tbilisi, Georgia, that a stolen still life purportedly by Jean Siméon Chardin has been returned to the Georgian Museum of Fine Arts in the city. The work had gone missing from the museum in 1994, and was rediscovered when someone alerted the relevant ministry to its reappearance.

With such a distracting yellowed varnish, one can imagine why it may well have been returned (!)
