IRON DUKE'S PORTRAIT
Heavy Guard At Show (N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, Jan. 12. Electronic eyes and a heavy guard of attendants stood watch over Goya’s £140,000 portrait of the Duke of Wellington, which went on public show again yesterday after cleaning and reframing I after four years in a burglar's cupboard. The portrait was stolen from a gallery in August, 1961. The burglar was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment for stealing it. The portrait now forms the centrepiece of a special exhibition at the National Gallery with four other pictures of the Iron Duke.
