A Pablo Picasso stolen nine years ago from a Greek gallery has been found.
Athens police said the recovery of Picasso's "Woman's Head", as well as a Piet Mondrian windmill painting from 1905, were stolen, along with a third piece, in a 2012 heist of the Athens National Gallery.
The artworks were removed from their frames in the theft, which took a few minutes only to complete. Thieves distracted guards by activating the gallery's security alarm, compelling them to turn it off.
The Piet Mondrian was dropped by one of the burglars as they fled.
The thieves stole a pen-and-ink drawing of a religious scene by Guglielmo Caccia, an Italian 16th-century painter.
The crime was completed in about seven minutes, according to police at the time.
A Greek police source told Reuters the "Woman's Head" and the windmill were discovered in a gorge near Athens. One man has been arrested.
Picasso created the cubist picture of a woman in 1939 but gave it to the gallery 10 years later as a gift in commemoration of Greece's resistance to the Nazis during World War Two.
