Speaking in a voice over on her video post, Macy explained: “I picked up this painting strictly for the frame, but after I got in the car I realised it was a painting and not a print.”.
“So, I decided to do some research and found that it was purchased in an art gallery in St. Louis in 1912,” the woman said, adding she had the painting authenticated via an art appraisal Facebook page.
After having the painting authenticated, Macy was put in touch with Caza Sikes art gallery in Cincinnati, where she drove to alongside her husband to have the work valued.
Marisa Macy, who bought the picture from a second hand store in Cincinatti, Ohio, shared the surprising story on TikTok, telling users the artwork had been the “most insane thrift find ever”.
A woman who purchased a painting from a charity shop for $3 (£2.40) was left amazed after discovering the true value of the artwork.
