Young Boy Tries to sell a painting he bought for $2, Completely Unaware of its Actual Value

The Little Model

A collector from Eugene, Oregon approached the Antiques Roadshow with this oil painting. It was a 20th-century American painter Norman Rockwell’s work. The painting was given to his great-grandmother by Rockwell himself. In words of the possessor of the painting, his great-grandmother was Rockwell’s aunt. This 1919 painting was called “The Little Model”  and was examined by Nan Chisholm. She estimates this artwork for some $500,000 insurance value.
