Dürer drawing bought for $30 at yard sale worth more than $10 million, experts say.
A 16th century drawing by one of the key figures of the German Renaissance
has been valued in excess of $10 million after it was initially
purchased at a yard sale for just $30 in 2017.
The drawing that has been rediscovered is titled "The Virgin and Child." As Dürer's career and legacy has been studied in depth since his death, it is extremely rare to find unknown works of his and Agnews said in a press release that this drawing has been "the subject of significant interest since its rediscovery."
The
artwork had been purchased at a yard sale at the home of an architect
who had been gifted the piece from his art dealer father, Schorer said.

Some days, I definitely look like the bird that you posted today. And then, no one messes with me. Always love you cartoons and of course orchids are my favorite flowers: that's because they basically like being ignored and that's my style of gardening. Have a great weekend.
Dürer'S "Young Hare" is shown in the Albertina in Vienna next to some more works by him. I was so lucky to be there to see it and I really was impressed. Also the room where it is is worth seeing as are all other artworks and rooms.
Your baby card is so sweet, Jacki!
I suppose you are watching the Olympics? Can you imagine one athlete from Austria already won a bronze medal? Nobody had expected this but everybody was happily surprised.
Have a great Sunday, Jacki!
