$250 OIL PAINTING
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 10. Max
Saffron, St. Louis art dealer, has the
word of a art critic that a painting
he purchased for $250 may be worth
from a hundred to a thousand times
that much.
Maurice Goldblatt, Chicago art dea.
ler, holds the canvas to be the work
of Eugene Delacroix, early nineteenth
century French artist, and says it
has been lest for years. Fie judges
its value at between $25,000 and
$250,000.
Saffron obtained the painting from
a New York agent, and he said at
the time neither felt it had much va
lue. It is entitled “A Scene from be
fore the Temple in Jerusalem.” and
shows Christ surrounded by his dis
ciples, with scores of men, women,
soldiers and slaves thronging a stone
flagged court.
