☆ ‘The Schoolmistress’ painting stolen by mobsters returned after more than 50 years, the FBI says
  + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Andy Rose | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —A painting older than the US Constitution was returned to its rightful owner this month – more than 50 years after being stolen by mobsters, the FBI said in a news release. “The Schoolmistress,” by English painter John Opie, was found among items in a 2021 estate sale. The FBI returned the painting to the family of Dr. Earl Leroy Wood earlier this month. “It was a well-done painting.”It took more than two years for Wood’s family to find the documentation proving the painting belonged to them. The FBI delivered the work of art to Wood’s son, 96-year-old Dr. Francis Wood, on January 11.

To revive the city, San Francisco needs to get back to its freak-flag-flying roots.
