ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: Washington, D.C. - Hour 3

A stunning circa 1925 oil painting of a young girl, painted by Philadelphia artist Jessie Willcox Smith. Smith, often compared to Mary Cassat because of their mutual affinity for depicting children, is notable for both her illustrations and paintings. This guest (right) is overjoyed to learn the painting he purchased for $100 is actually valued at $75,000.
