Painting bought for £100 could be Cezanne masterpiece
A British man who bought a painting from a junk shop has discovered it could be a £40,000 (€45,412) masterpiece.
The unnamed buyer says he purchased the piece for less than £100 (€113.53) six years ago because he liked the frame - and has since found that experts believe it to be the earliest known work of French artist Paul Cezanne.
He said: "I'm not trying to think about what to do with the money yet - I won't tempt fate.
"I bought the painting from a second-hand shop in Northampton which sells all sorts of little bits and pieces of old tat.
"I can't remember how much I paid, but it was under £100. I bought it for the frame and it's been gathering dust ever since."
