The man, Jonathan [REDACTED], was reported missing roughly a week after purchasing the painting, locals are on record stating that he was acting strange the last couple of days leading up to his disappearance. He had become a hermit of sorts, despite being a formerly very outgoing man.

The painting was kept in a shrine of sorts, with a dozen or so candles surrounding it as stated in the police reports. Male officers at the scene reported feeling ill and woozy in the presence of the painting.

One of the two officer's also disappeared, the other had to take leave in order to receive extensive treatment for his unhealthy infatuation with the painting.
The painting was retrieved from [REDACTED], New York.
