EASTON, Md. — An old painting dropped off at a rural Goodwill store turned out to be a valuable work by a French Impressionist.
The Parisian street scene, left at the store in March along with daily donations of pots, pans and old clock radios, is a work by Edouard-Leon Cortes, probably from the early 20th century.
A store employee suspected it might be valuable and looked up the artist on the Internet.
“Marche aux fleurs” (“Flower Market”) was sold for $40,600 at a Sotheby’s auction a few weeks ago.
