Le pigeon aux petit pois (The Pigeon with Green Peas[1]) is a 1911 painting by Pablo Picasso.[2] It was one of five paintings stolen from the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris on 20 May 2010, which together are worth about €100 million ($123 million).

The thief and his sponsor were found the following year, and the latter has declared that he was seized by panic after a police raid and a phone call by the police, and put the painting in a rubbish container. However the police doubt that assertion.[3][4]
