A Picasso painting stolen more than a year ago from a restoration studio in Paris' George Pompidou Centre was returned Friday after police recovered the masterpiece intact. The still-life painting from Picasso's cubist period, entitled "Nature morte a la Charlotte", is valued at 2.5 million euros. Police found the painting hidden behind furniture in the bedroom of an apartment west of Paris. Police said the thieves were part of a drugs gang. ---SP 2300 Local Time 2000 GMT
