Painting bought for 100 in US charity shop sells for 190,000

A painting bought for less than $100 (£75) in a US charity shop in the 1960s has sold for almost £190,000 at auction. Art teacher Helene Plotkin bought the work by Scottish Colourist FCB Cadell in White Plains, New York in 1966, unaware of its true value. The painting, Interior: The Lady in Black, hung in her living room for 60 years - but the artist's signature was illegible and was only recently identified. It sold for £189,200, including buyer's premium, in Edinburgh as part of Lyon & Turnbull's Scottish painting and sculpture auction. The background to the painting only became clear when Helene's son Barry began his own research into it and took it for a valuation last year.
