Two Laughing Boys
with a Mug of Beer
A famous painting by Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, valued at over £13 million, has been stolen for the third time in three decades.
Two Laughing Boys with a Mug of Beer was stolen from a museum in Leerdam, near Utrecht in the Netherlands, earlier this week, The Guardian reports.
It has been stolen and recovered twice before. It was first stolen in 1988 and recovered in 1991, and stolen again in 2011 and recovered later that year.
Sjors Fröhlich, the municipal mayor, said the theft was sad news and expressed his hope that the painting would soon be recovered, for a third time.
