The Thoughts with which a Christian Child should be taught to look on the works of God by Charles Allston Collins, 1852

A SUPERMARKET cashier is celebrating after an old oil painting she inherited from a relative checked out for a whopping £370,000.The portrait of a young girl by the English painter Charles Allston Collins had hung on the living room wall of the home of her late father-in-law for 30 years until he died last year. It was passed down to the unnamed woman's husband but he tragically died earlier this year. She decided to sell it at auction and had hoped it might fetch up to £5,000. She was 'flabbergasted' when it ended up going for 75 times that amount. A bidding war broke out between an avid collector and a top London dealer which drove the price up dramatically.
