A missing Pablo Picasso painting was spotted at the home of the Philippines\u2019 controversial former first lady\u00a0\u2014 as she celebrated her son\u2019s presidential victory, according to a former official familiar with the artwork.<\/p>\n

Imelda Marcos<\/a> \u2014 the widow of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos \u2014 was filmed hugging her son, Ferdinand \u201cBongbong\u201d Marcos Jr., in footage that aired this week with the apparent long-lost masterpiece \u201cReclining Woman VI\u201d\u00a0hanging on a wall behind them.<\/p>\n

The bombshell in the background was broadcast in a news segment<\/a> by the local station TV Patrol Tuesday after Marcos Jr. became the country\u2019s next president in a landslide victory.<\/p>\n

A former official for the country\u2019s Presidential Commission on Good Government \u2014 a task force created to recover the one-time authoritarian family\u2019s ill-gotten wealth \u2014 said the painting<\/a> was one of roughly 160 pieces of art allegedly acquired illegally by the Marcos family during their more than 20-year reign.<\/p>\n

The abstract painting \u2014 which depicts a woman lounging on a couch with a hand on her forehead \u2014 appeared in a 2019 documentary about the Marcos family, \u201cThe Kingmaker,\u201d before it went missing as the task force hunted for it, said former PCGG chairman Andy Bautista.<\/p>\n
