Jeffrey Wood pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000 , trafficking in stolen property and knowingly committing forgery by making a false document.

The theft occurred in late 2021 or early 2022 but was not discovered for months because the thief replaced the original print with a copy and put it back on the wall.

The discovery launched a global investigation that tracked the portrait to a British auction house and ultimately to a buyer in Italy who did not know he had purchased stolen art.
