What would you do if you found a buried treasure or a valuable painting in your attic? That happened to these people.
When a couple in the United States retired, they decided to sell some antique furniture. So they called an antique dealer to their house. Mr.Kuhn, the dealer, also happened to know a lot about art, and he immediately noticed a curious painting that the couple had hanging on their wall. He asked where it came from. "It came from Switzerland. We inherited it from a relative. It's been in the family for over 30 years," said the woman.
The dealer identified the painting as a Van Gogh on the spot. "When I told them what I thought it was, they didn't believe it," recalls Kuhn. It was authenticated in Amsterdam as a genuine painting existed. At an auction, "Still Life with Flowers" sold for 1.4 million
