At Norrköping's museum, which sees itself as the morally rightful owner of the board since it was stolen from the museum in the late 1980s, one is glad that the sale is not lost.

The theft of Carl Larsson's painting is prescribed and Helena Persson at the Norrköping Art Museum does not doubt that the current owner bought the painting in good faith.
