Pennsylvania woman Heidi Markow purchased a drawing for just $12 at a collector’s auction, only to find out the artwork could be an authentic Renoir. If the drawing of a nude woman is found to be an original by French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, it could be worth thousands. “I didn’t know what it was, I just knew that I wanted it,” Markow said. “This piece just stood out to me as something special.” The Wildenstein Plattner Institute will now examine the piece to determine its authenticity.
