概要
A priceless seventeenth-century Dutch panel, last appraised at €140,000, sat propped against a recycling-center fence with a yellow sticker that read €400 - in rural Ohio. Who knew enough to price it in euros, place the sticker on the lower-left corner of the gilt frame, and walk away knowing someone else would find it?
In this episode, you will hear how an early-morning discovery led an investigator to a match in a 1981 Belgian estate catalogue, how a private Luxembourg buyer and a Cologne auction house erased the painting from public record for sixteen years, and how a single sticker became the key clue that reopened the case. What does that sticker reveal about the chain that moved the panel from Europe to an Ohio attic?
