法国巴黎警方2月28号说,两幅毕加索的画作《玛雅和玩偶》及《杰奎琳肖像》在毕加索孙女家中被盗,总价值高达6600万美元。《玛雅和玩偶》是毕加索在1938年以女儿玛雅为模特画出的作品,玛雅后来认为爸爸把她的四肢都画得十分可爱,但面部显得阴郁。《杰奎琳肖像》则是毕加索为他的妻子杰奎琳作的一幅肖像画。

Two Picasso paintings worth a total of 50 million euros have been stolen from the Paris home of the artist's granddaughter. "Maya with Doll" and "Portrait of Jacqueline" were stolen from an apartment in Paris' upmarket seventh district.[AFP]

At least two Picasso paintings, worth a total of nearly $66 million, were stolen from the artist's granddaughter's house in Paris, police said Wednesday.

The paintings, "Maya and the Doll" and "Portrait of Jacqueline," disappeared overnight Monday to Tuesday from the chic 7th arrondissement, or district, a Paris police official said.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said they were worth nearly $66 million.

The director of the Picasso Museum, Anne Baldassari, said several paintings and drawings were stolen from the home of Diana Widmaier-Picasso.

"It was a very large theft," Baldassari said, without giving details.

Police only confirmed the theft of the two paintings.

"Maya and the Doll" portrays Maya Widmaier, the artist's daughter and Widmaier-Picasso's mother.

No other details were immediately available.
