Subsequently, the external intelligence service of Ukraine found that the painting was bought by a Belarusian businessman, close to the Lukashenko regime, who deliberately purchased the stolen exhibit. The negotiations with him lasted for several years and ended successfully - the painting managed to return. "Women's Portrait" became the first work from the collection of the National Art Museum of Ukraine, which was restored after export during the Second World War.
It will be exhibited in the museum for a month. The returned picture is supplemented by the digital reconstruction of the 1925 exhibition "Ukrainian Portrait of the XVII -XX Century", where the work of Galimsky was first introduced to the public. We will remind, the media told about the six of the most daring theft of arts worth hundreds of millions of dollars that have not yet been found. Last year, Ukrainian border guards found a picture that disappeared in the Netherlands 19 years ago.
