A famous painting by art master Pablo Picasso, was one of the three paintings stolen from Greece's National Gallery in central Athens.

The paintings were stolen in the early hours of the morning, in what the Greek media have described as the "robbery of the century". The worth of all three paintings is estimated to be 5 million euro.

Picasso's Woman's Head, was painted in 1934 and donated to the gallery in 1949 by the artist himself as a way of honouring the Greek resistance against the German occupied forces during World War II.
