New York teacher paid under $100 for painting; 60 years later, it sold for $189,200

A painting originally purchased by a New York teacher for under $100 has sold at auction for £189,200, six decades later. The significant increase in value followed the discovery of the artwork's true provenance.

Hidden for decades inside a family home and initially misattributed, the artwork has now been identified as a creation by a Scottish artist, leading to its remarkable financial transformation upon verification.
