that I like so much,
housewife Mandy, 45, and painter and decorator Michael Cruickshank, 41, paid 1,700 euros for the painting they had their suspicions about the subject, Mrs Cruickshank said, 'my husband said to me 'who do you think this is?' and I instantly said Vincent Van Gogh, we don't even think they [auctioneers] knew who it was, so we decided to take a chance on it', for the past year, the couple have been investigating the painting contacting various experts in the art world to confirm the sitter's identity,
on the back of the painting are the words 'L'Incompris' (translated as 'The Misunderstood') and a signature of a French female artist called Jeanne Donnadieu, little is known about the artist but the couple discovered she lived four doors away from Van Gogh,
so could this be the first known full length painting of the famous artist? if it is how much would it be worth? great story, I hope for the couple it is a winner.
