LOS ANGELES—A Rembrandt painting with a colorful past goes on exhibit tomorrow at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, reports the New York Times. The 1632 work, Portrait of a Girl Wearing a Gold-Trimmed Cloak, has not been seen since it was sold at auction in 1986 by its longtime owners for $10.3 million, a record price for Rembrandt at the time. The work made headlines when it was heisted in 1975 from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts at gunpoint, then returned to law officials a year later.
