Rembrandt Painting Discovered in Maine Attic Sells for $1.4 Million

The 17th-century artwork, found during a routine appraisal, set a new auction record for the state.

'Portrait of a Girl' was uncovered in a Camden estate by Thomaston Place Auction Galleries.
The painting was sold to a European collector after fierce bidding from three contenders.
The artwork was previously loaned to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1970.
Experts initially cataloged the piece as 'after Rembrandt' due to authenticity questions.
The sale marked the highest price ever achieved at auction in Maine.
