A work possibly by the French post-Impressionist master Paul Cezanne was seized by police in Turkey’s northwestern province of Yalova following a tip.
Thought to be ‘Young Italian Woman at a Table’, and valued at $150-200 million, the painting was sent to the Museum Directorate of Bursa for evaluation.
Three suspects in a vehicle coming from Bursa were detained for allegedly "smuggling natural and cultural artifacts."
