"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Bereny's long-lost masterpiece on the wall behind Hugh Laurie, I nearly dropped Lola from my lap," Mr Barki, a researcher at Hungary's National Gallery, said. In 2009, Gergely Barki noticed Sleeping Lady with Black Vase by Robert Bereny (1888-1953) in the 1999 children's movie as he watched television with his daughter Lola.
