Oil Landscape Painting Found by Church Fetches $90K
posted 4:05 pm Sun October 14, 2007 - SILVER SPRING, Md.
It was kept under a couch until a church member took it the Smithsonian Institution in hopes of learning more about it. Now identified as "View of Mt. Katahdin From the West Bank of the Penobscot River," the landscape was one of many painted in the mid-19th century of the Maine outdoors.
The church lent the Williams piece to the Smithsonian and a Montgomery County museum, and decided earlier this year to sell it.
