A painting found in a Maine family’s attic has been auctioned for $1.4 million. The unidentified family found the painting, which depicts a young girl, in the attic of their home in Thomaston, according to Thomaston Place Auction Galleries. They called in an appraiser, who informed them it was a piece called “Portrait of a Girl,” painted in the 17th century by none other than Rembrandt himself. “On house calls, we often go in blind, not knowing what we’ll find,” says auctioneer Kaja Veilleux. “The home was filled with wonderful pieces but it was in the attic, among stacks of art, that we found this remarkable portrait.” After a round of “fierce” bidding, “Portrait of a Girl” was sold to a European collector for $1.41 million, Veilleux says.
