Boar Hunt Update

Authorities in Athens are milking the recovery of Rubens' The Caledonian Boar Hunt for all it's worth. Another press conference yesterday revealed little more than that the collared couple are thought to be "amateurs". They've been charged with money laundering (title link). Above is the best image of the stolen painting I've seen so far. It's small, badly in need of cleaning and poorly composed with a hollow tree trunk bisecting the picture. Rubens? CLICK to compare it with the version at the Getty Center Los Angeles. The Ghent version requires scientific analysis to convince me it's by Rubens.
