A man and his son bought the odd-looking box during a garage sale for $45.
An American citizen, along with his son, was lucky enough to acquire a valuable painting, which they bought quite by accident during one of the garage sales.
Then the man noticed an unremarkable-looking box that was standing on the wet grass. A frame was visible from it, and the buyer and his son thought it might be an interesting item.
The purchase cost them $45, and at home they discovered the painting in it. In order to find out its value and worth, the owners decided to send the work of art to the Antiques Roadshow television program.
A hobby in the form of visiting such outlets helped him to acquire a real value of seven to ten thousand dollars (646-929 thousand rubles).
Presumably, according to art historians, the picture was painted by the American artist Benny Andrews, who gained wide popularity in the middle of the last century.
The found picture could have been written approximately in the 1960s.
