Please return immediately to its rightful owner

Vermeer's The Concert was Isabella Gardner’s first major acquisition. She bought it with the help of experts at a Paris auction sale. Gardner placed it on a table alongside the window, a location where she often placed her most prized paintings, with a chair in front of it to invite viewing.

The Gardner Museum is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the recovery of these stolen artworks in good condition. Anyone with information—about the theft, the location of these artworks, or the investigation—is encouraged to contact the Museum’s Director of Security Anthony Amore directly at 617-278-5114 or theft@gardnermuseum.org. The Museum can ensure complete confidentiality.
