How come there is never a Rembrandt in my attack? Not even a Miro.

Best I ever found in an attic was a piano stool, missing the screw elevator and half of a Marlin lever action .22.😕

Have you checked behind the insulation?

I know, right?
Camden Maine is a lovely sea coast town.
Many of the families who have home there are
incredibly wealthy, so I am not that surprised
that this was found in an attic there.

This is “old money” we’re talking about.
Captains mansions and the like.
*sigh*
Hey, cheer up, Nick!
We don’t even HAVE an attic!
*evil grin*

In addition, the back of the beautiful hand-carved Dutch frame, features a slip from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which shows the painting was loaned to the gallery back in 1970 by a Mr. Cary W. Bok. The slip identifies the painting as a Rembrandt, and titles the work Portrait of Girl. However, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has noted that such a slip does not necessarily mean the work is authentic.

Pretty girl. Friend of yours?

No it came with the frame.

I am not lucky in this area as well. I’m only lucky in doing stupid stuff that should kill me but never does.

My father’s side of the family was related to the Ives of Currier and Ives. There was an original of children in Grandpa’s disheveled old farmhouse. My sister has it now. We never considered finding out what it’s worth. (Not as much as a Rembrandt - LOL!)

Big Whoop. Some of Hunter Biden’s artwork goes for more than that.

When I read something like this, I want to send a note to my children and tell them “you never know what you will find in our attic! Why don’t you clean it out to see what’s there?”

There may be some old video games or toys that are now considered collector’s items. Is a Commodore 64 worth money? I haven’t been up there in years. There may be enough stuff that is worth the money it would take to pay for a dumpster. But I assure you there is not a Rembrandt painting.

I guess we should maybe rent a dumpster ourselves and get rid of it before the kids get the place.

Nah! Let them deal with it.

I knew a retired physician that had an original Rembrandt sketch. It was charcoal on paper and about 5” X 7”. I don’t remember the subject or what it looked like because my attention was drawn to his house full of Chinese carved ivory pieces. One of them was a piece given to the first Christian missionaries in China. I don’t remember all the details of the many historical pieces, but the entire collection was absolutely stunning.

It’s more plausible than the alleged da Vinci that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia paid $400+ million at auction.
