    How is "the takeaway Rembrandt" related in name to the criminal ringleader of "the workers of the night"?

    		Jacob de Gheyn III, also known as Jacob III de Gheyn, is a 1632 oil painting by Rembrandt. The portrait is of Dutch engraver Jacob de Gheyn III and is part of a pair. The other piece is a portrait of de Gheyn's friend Maurits Huygens, wearing similar clothing (ruffs and black doublets) and facing the opposite direction.

    The painting has been given the title "takeaway Rembrandt" as it has been stolen four times since 1966 – the most recorded of any painting.
