Police in Brazil have recovered an engraving by Pablo Picasso that was stolen from a museum in Sao Paulo.

The Painter and the Model was taken in a daylight robbery in June from the state-owned Estacao Pinacoteca museum.

Police said an arrested suspect had led them to the engraving, wrapped in a plastic bag and hidden in an attic, apparently in perfect condition.

Another Picasso and two paintings by Brazilian artists stolen in the same robbery have not yet been recovered.

The man arrested was held on suspicion of trying to steal a cash machine, but instead led police to the stolen Picasso.
