Renoir painting found in $7 flea market purchase

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting "Paysage bords de Seine" that was recently discovered at a Virginia flea market is shown in this Potomack Company image released to Reuters on Sept 12, 2012. A Virginia woman who paid $7 for a Renoir painting at a flea market - and ignored it until a recent cleaning spree - will sell the piece this month for what should be a tidy profit. Try $75,000 to $100,000, according to auctioneer Potomack Co., which will handle the sale of "Paysage Bords de Seine" by impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. [Photo/Agencies]
