A George Washington painting dating back to the 1800s was stolen from an Englewood, Colorado, storage unit last month, police announced Tuesday.
Police believe the painting was stolen in the middle of the night on January 10, but the theft was not immediately discovered.
“It’s not often that we have historical artifacts or historical artwork stolen from this city,” Crystal Essman with the Englewood Police Department told Fox 31 Denver.
The portrait has been in the family for 50 years and was created in the early 1800s, according to police.
It is approximately 24 inches by 30 inches and is in a gold frame.
Police said the value was undisclosed and difficult to estimate due to its historical significance.
“It’s a family heirloom, and they just want it back,” Essman said.
