Woman May Sue For Portrait Of Husband Nijinsky
Madam Ronda Nijinsky says she will sue to recover a charcoal portrait of her husband Vaslav Nijinsky by John Singer Sargent. She claims the drawing was stolen from Nijinsky's Paris apartment in 1929 during a larger art and jewel theft. The Bohemian Club in San Francisco is reviewing the claim after confirming the work arrived about 25 years ago via Senator James Phelan's estate.
