A stolen Renoir?

If you go on the website of the National Portrait Gallery in London it says that Renoir's Umbrellas is currently not on display - that's just to hide the fact that it was stolen some years ago and is now on display in our home in France.

It was New Year's Eve and Trafalgar Square was full of revellers.  Wife and I were on the roof of the gallery.  We broke a skylight and I lowered Wife down, Mission Impossible style.  The picture was cut from its frame, rolled up and we escaped back across the roofs.

It was re-framed at a shop in Saintes.  I told him it was a fake, so he wasn't suspicious.

Looks good doesn't it?
