Appeal dismissed in stolen Frederick Goodall painting case

On 31 May 2019, the Court of Appeal dismissed Andrew Shannon’s challenge to his conviction for handling an 1892 Frederick Goodall desert painting, stolen from Bantry House in 2006 and found in his home in 2014. He had received a two-year sentence in November 2018. The image shows Goatherd and Labourer near the Pyramids at Giza: a contextual work by the same artist, not the stolen canvas.
