Original artwork description:
In 1966, just a few months before the FIFA World Cup of England, the Rimet Trophy mysteriously disappeared. After a while, the “kidnappers” demanded a ransom and the entire tournament was at risk.
While Scotland Yard was desperately searching for it, The Rimet Trophy magically reappeared in the most curious way: The dog Pickles found it behind a car wheel while strolling with his master. The dog become a celebrity in England and abroad, and made the history of the Rimet Trophy even more unique.
This painting is an homage to the dog and to such a curious story.
