Goes on to sell for £16,000
In a scenario that features in every hoarder's daydreams, a previously unknown painting by Irish artist Sir John Lavery has been discovered in the attic of a house in Scotland and is to be sold at auction next week.
Lindsay Burns & Company, a Fine Art Auctioneering firm in the Central Scottish town of Perth, said the 14 by 10-inch oil painting of a gypsy girl had been found in the attic of a house in Perthshire during a routine valuation.
