A renowned portrait of Sir Winston Churchill photographed by famed Ottawa photographer Yousuf Karsh and stolen from an Ottawa hotel will be returned to Canada after being recovered in Italy.
The Ottawa Police Service said two investigators will go to Rome later this month to retrieve the Karsh portrait of Churchill, which was reported stolen from the Fairmont Château Laurier in August 2022.
