“Stuart Little” Painting Had Been Missing for 90 Years
In 2009, art historian Gergely Barki spotted an expensive painting above the fireplace while watching the film “Stuart Little” with his daughter. The painting had gone missing for 9 decades. It was allegedly sold in 1928 and taken out of the country after World War II. Barki reached out to the film’s set designer who told him the painting called “Sleeping Lady with Black Vase” had been hanging on her wall all this time.
