    		July 21, 2008 -- Police recovered a Pablo Picasso print and arrested one person in connection with an armed robbery at Sao Paulo’s Pinacoteca Museum last month, local media reported on Saturday. The print, Picasso’s "The Painter and the Model" from 1963, was one of four works taken in broad daylight on June 12, the official Agencia Brasil government news agency said.

    The Spanish artist’s "Minotaur, Drinker and Women" from 1933 and two works by Brazilian artists are still missing.

    The artworks, which included the print "Couple" by Brazilian artist Lasar Segall (1891-1957) and the painting "Women in a Window" by fellow Brazilian Emiliano Di Cavalcanti (1897-1976), are valued at 1 million reais (314,670 pounds), according to the Sao Paulo state culture secretary.
