BRUSSELS, BELGIUM -- Art thieves stole two drawings, including Van Gogh's Woman, Sitting by the Fire, Peeling Potatoes, and ten paintings from the Van Buuren Museum in Brussels.
Other works stolen include The Thinker by Dutch painter Kees van Dongen and Shrimps and Shells by James Ensor.
Some researchers have questioned the authenticity of the Van Gogh drawing, but it's not been officially discredited and its status remains genuine.
Witnesses report four men driving away from the museum around 4 am. No arrests have been made and investigations continue.
