The FBI recovered a 1919 Norman Rockwell painting stolen more than 40 years ago from a New Jersey home.
The painting, sometimes called "Lazybones" or "Boy Asleep with Hoe," graced the cover of the Sept. 6, 1919, edition of the Saturday Evening Post, reported The Associated Press.
The oil-on-canvas piece was among several items taken during a 1976 break-in in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb.
Susan Murta told The Philadelphia Inquirer the FBI did a great job. She last saw the painting in her parents' home in 1976. Her parents are now deceased.
An Inquirer story last year said the owner forked over $75 for it after accidentally damaging the painting with a pool cue in 1954. It's now believed worth more than $1 million.
It was unclear how the painting was recovered, said the AP.
