VERMEER MASTERPIECE
HELD BY FRAU GOERING’S NURSE LONDON, May 22. ' Jan Vermeer's seventeenth century painting, “ Christ and the Adulteress,” has been found in the possession of Frau Goering’s nurse, reports the Associated Press correspondent at Berchtesgaden. American army art experts, who valued the painting at £250.000, found it in the nurse’s room wrapped around a length of stove pipe and concealed under a blanket. The nurse said: “I did not know what it was. Goering told me to keep it and I would never want for money again for the rest of my life.”
