The £25 charity shop purchase is worth between £4,000 to £6,000 😱
An oil painting showcasing the work of a senior lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art appeared on Antiques Roadshow where it was given a jaw-dropping valuation.
During the show, the guest explained that she had bought the work of art for £25 after going in to buy raincoats for her children. Grant Ford, who appraised the item, told the guest that the colourful work was by John Cunningham, who taught at the Glasgow School of Art. "We were driving home, all the way back to Shropshire, and my children were only 10 and 12 and I realised the rain was coming down and I had no raincoat for the children, so I stopped at the nearest charity shop and went in to get a raincoat but I didn't get a raincoat, I got a painting."
Following his retirement in 1985, he became a professional artist, painting the oil painting which was brought to the Roadshow. Grant then asked: "You go into the charity shop for a raincoat, and you find a picture by John Cunningham, one of his favourite subjects, what did you pay for it?"
