This image shows a black-and-white reproduction of a signed color painting called "Laundry Woman with a Toothache," by Edgar Degas. Authorities say the painting was stolen from a museum in 1973 and is being returned to the French government after it appeared in a Sotheby's New York catalog. Sotheby's promptly pulled the piece from its auction and cooperated with authorities. Its presale estimate was $350,000 to $450,000.
