An American woman attended the Antiques Roadshow with a painting she thought was damaged. It turned out not to be, and the approximated valuation of the artwork left her in tears

An American Antiques Roadshow fan was watching an episode of the popular PBS series. In it, a man announced in the feedback boot that he had discovered what he thought was a genuine Edouard Cortez painting was actually a fake.

It turned out that it was — and not only was it authentic, it was worth anywhere between $30,000 and $50,000, the expert on that episode announced. Instantly, she burst into tears, overwhelmed by her discovery. The painting had been hanging on her wall for over four decades, and she had thought it was damaged because of a strange aspect on a street in the image.

"I thought it was a flaw," the woman said, but the expert assured her that it wasn't. "If you look at the lines, they all converge and come to this point," he told her.
