A painting bought at a flea market in the US may turn out to be a rare bargain — a work by French master Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
It was bought by a woman as part of a box lot that included a doll and a plastic cow, and cost about $50.
She took it to a Virginia auction house where experts said they believed it was Renoir’s Paysage Bords de Seine — a river scene — from about 1879.
The auctioneers expect it to sell for up to $100,000 later this month — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Italian art experts have reportedly discovered around 100 drawings and a number of paintings by the young Renaissance master Caravaggio, in a find that could be worth up to 700 million euros.
The artworks were found among a collection of works held at Sforza Castle in the northern Italian city, which were done by the pupils of painter Simone Peterzano, with whom Caravaggio studied from the age of 11.
Photographs of the works, extracts of which were published in the Italian media, range from preparative anatomical sketches to religious scenes.
The newly-unearthed works could be worth around 700 million euros ($840 million) according to experts Maurizio Bernardelli Curuz and Adriana Conconi Fedrigolli, who has been studying the paintings for two years, the ANSA news agency said — via redwolf.newsvine.com
