A valuable painting left in a Goodwill donation bin fetched $11,205 in an online auction.
The painting went up for sale after Maria Rivera, a sharp-eyed Goodwill employee in Manassas, realized that the painting seemed special.
Turned out she was right: The work was by Italian painter Giovanni Battista Torriglia, a late 19th-century artist whose portraits hang in galleries around the world.
“It’s the real deal,” Rivera told News4’s Richard Jordan.
