Eight years after the theft of 10 rare artefacts connected to Napoleon Bonaparte from a museum on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, one is going to be returned after an art dealer stumbled across the piece online.
Director of Belle Epoque Fine Art, Leigh Capel, was looking for portraits to display in his Sydney gallery when he found an interesting piece on eBay in September 2021.
"I don't usually buy miniatures, but it was of such high quality and of the age that it would have been painted during Napoleon's lifetime," he told Virginia Trioli on ABC Radio Melbourne.
