Painting stolen 20 years ago is returned

A small but valuable painting stolen from an Irish art gallery more than 20 years ago is back hanging on its walls after being recovered by detectives.

In The Omnibus by the French artist Honore Daumier has been returned to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin after being found by proceeds of crime officers late last year.

The drawing in watercolour and gouache was stolen on a Saturday afternoon in June 1992 when the gallery was open to the public and a thief ripped it from a wall.
