Lost and found: Picasso painting discovered in Madrid after exhibition transfer confusion

AI Summary
A Picasso painting titled 'Still Life with Guitar' from 1919 was reported missing in Madrid ahead of its transfer to an exhibition in Granada on October 6, 2025. The painting, valued at €600,000, was part of a consignment of artworks meant for display but did not make it onto the transport lorry due to packaging discrepancies. Spanish police initiated a search and issued an Interpol alert before discovering that the artwork remained in Madrid's storeroom. The confusion arose from improper numbering on the packaging, which prevented exhaustive checks without unpacking all items. The painting was eventually confirmed by forensic police officers at the depot where it had been stored initially.
