The painting which was found last December near an art gallery and believed to be the missing Gustav Klimt’s painting â€˜Portrait of a Ladyâ€™ is displayed during a press conference in Piacenza, Italy, Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. Art experts have confirmed that a stolen painting discovered hidden inside an Italian art gallery’s walls is Gustav Klimt’s “Portrait of a Lady,” Italian prosecutors said Friday. A gardener reported finding an art work inside a bag last month while clearing ivy at the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in the northern city of Piacenza. â€œPortrait of a Ladyâ€ disappeared from the gallery during renovation work in February 1997.
