The painting that was donated.
An anonymous donor recently dropped off a painting by Frank Weston Benson at a Goodwill in Portland Oregon. It is not known if the anonymous donor knew the value of the painting, but a local gallery owner did. A bidding war ensued upon the authentication of the piece.
The starting bid for the 1923 watercolor was a mere $10 and ended up reaching the hefty sum of $160,002 on the organization's website . The winning bidder has not yet been revealed.
