The painting, known as the "Rokeby Venus" is by Velazquez and is his only known nude. It moved to England in 1813 to hang in Rokeby Park, Yorkshire. The painting was purchased by National Art Collections Fund in 1906 for the National Gallery, London. The suffragette Mary Richardson attacked and badly damaged the painting in 1914 but it was restored and returned to display.

The triptych would have been wet, yet when exchanging it for the Goya, the thieves place it face down on the floor, even sliding it a bit; no marks or smudges appear when it is hung up.
