ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: Pittsburgh, Pa. - Hour Three

A stunning 1946 oil painting by Rockwell Kent. The painting was inherited from the owners’ grandmother, who purchased it the year it was painted. The owners also inherited a letter from Kent to their grandmother.Without the accompanying letter, the painting would be worth $100,000-$150,000. However, with the letter, appraiser Alan Fausel values the two items between $150,000-$250,000.
