Philadelphia (ap)
The 1919 painting, known as Taking a Break and Lazybones, was returned to members of the Grant family by FBI art crimes agents in Philadelphia last March. The piece was one of a number of items stolen from the family’s home in Cherry Hill, N.J., during a June 30, 1976, break-in.
The Grants knew the painting was theirs because it still had damage from where their father had struck it with a pool cue.
The painting will be auctioned on Nov. 3, and is expected to fetch up to $1.5 million.
