Hi Joan,
There was a similar situation a few years ago about a famous "found painting" in the UK. From memory it was discussed on the UK television program "Antiques Road Show", a father had found an old painting/sketch in a rubbish skip, a few years later passed it on to his daughter, it was identified as genuine on the TV show, and the the "Fun" started. It was due for auction in the USA and then it went "down hill" from there.........."Rags to Riches" expectations ended up as "Rags", I'll try to find the details on "Youtube" or "Google"
Gordon.
