This Painting Was Originally Valued at $250. Then It Sold for $1.1 Million

When a painting appraised for only a few hundred dollars at a New Jersey estate sale reached $80,000 in a matter of minutes, John Nye knew something incredible was happening.

And it turns out he was right. The painting, which one of Nye's clients found tucked away under the ping pong table in his mother's house, turned out to be a Rembrandt. And not just any Rembrandt, but one of the painter’s most sought-after works thought to have been lost for centuries.
