Before picking up her kids from school, Phoenix, Arizona resident Grace Carpenter visited a thrift shop where she spotted a painting of a woman cradling a cat in her arms. So, after receiving a 20 percent discount, she paid about € 30 ($ 31.50) for the artwork and couldn’t wait to show it to her family and her cat, Max. However, everyone seems to have the same impression of the painting, namely that the woman was “scary and odd.”
Soon later, she saw what appeared to be Charles Craig’s signature and the year 1912 written in the painting’s corner. The woman then informed her followers of the news in a video that she posted on TikTok. “I believe I’ve discovered something unique. I feel like I’ve seen this signature before. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a Charles Craig original oil painting “In the video, she says.
