Painting stolen en route to N.Y.

A painting by famed Spanish artist Francisco de Goya was stolen as it was being transported to an exhibition, two museums report.

The painting, “Children With a Cart,” disappeared last week while en route to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, the museum said in a joint release with Ohio’s Toledo Museum of Art, which owned the oil painting.

At the time of the theft, the picture was in the care of a professional art transporter, the museums said. The painting disappeared in the area of Scranton, Pa.

The image of four children at play, completed in 1778, was insured for about $1 million.
