The attic can hide unexpected treasures, as illustrated by a Rembrandt painting discovered at a Maine farmhouse auctioned for $1.4 million.
Kaja Veilleux, the auctioneer who found the painting, immediately recognized its style as Rembrandt's, showcasing his expertise in identifying masterpieces.
Even though the painting wasn't signed, it's not unusual for Rembrandt's works. The portrait, in pristine condition, captures a girl in a black dress.
The painting's label indicated its display at a 1970 exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, though verifying its history proved difficult.
