Woman's Head was found alongside a painting of a windmill by Piet Mondrian, hidden at a gorge on the outskirts of the city–one Greek man has been arrested. The painting by Picasso had been given to the British National Gallery by the artist in 1949, in recognition of the country's resistance to Nazi Germany. (BBC)
