PARIS - At least two Picasso paintings, worth a total of nearly $66 million, were stolen from the artist’s granddaughter’s house in Paris, police said Wednesday.

The paintings, “Maya and the Doll” and “Portrait of Jacqueline,” disappeared overnight Monday to Tuesday from the chic 7th arrondissement, or district, a Paris police official said.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said they were worth nearly $66 million, and that there were signs of breaking and entering in the house.
