The thief and his sponsor were found the following year, and the latter has declared that he was seized by panic after a police raid and a phone call by the police, and put the painting in a rubbish container. However, the police doubt that assertion.[3][4]
The copy of this painting is shown in James Bond's movie Spectre at the wall in Oberhausers Moroccan lair.[5]
