今年早些时候仅花费 50 美元购买的一件艺术品后来被鉴定为加拿大艺术家艾米丽·卡尔 (Emily Carr) 的原创画作。

这幅画的标题是“马塞特，QCI”，画的是一只雕刻的熊站在土著纪念图腾柱上。

A piece of art that was purchased for just $50 earlier this year is now expected to sell for upwards of $147,000 at an auction next month after being identified as an original painting by Canadian artist Emily Carr.

今年早些时候仅花费 50 美元购买的一件艺术品，在被鉴定为加拿大艺术家艾米丽·卡尔 (Emily Carr) 的原创画作后，预计在下个月的拍卖会上将以超过 147,000 美元的价格售出。

Art dealer Allen Treibitz discovered the painting while shopping a barn sale in Long Island, New York. The painting, titled "Masset, Q.C.I.," is of a carved bear standing on top of an indigenous memorial totem pole.

艺术品经销商艾伦·特雷比茨 (Allen Treibitz) 在纽约长岛的谷仓拍卖会上发现了这幅画。这幅画的标题是“马塞特，QCI”，画的是一只雕刻的熊站在土著纪念图腾柱上。

"You could just tell that painting had something special about it," Treibitz told Global News. "It definitely had a look, and it was definitely very interesting."

“你可以看出这幅画有一些特别之处，”特雷比茨告诉全球新闻。 “它确实看过了，而且绝对非常有趣。”

After purchasing the painting signed by Carr, the art dealer researched the artist and realized how much of a bargain he got it for. He took the 1912 piece to Heffel Fine Art Auction House in Canada to seek help on what he should do with his new purchase.

在购买了卡尔签名的画作后，艺术品经销商对这位艺术家进行了研究，并意识到他以多少钱买到了这幅画。他将这件 1912 年的作品带到了加拿大的赫菲尔美术拍卖行，寻求如何处理新购买的作品的帮助。

"There was no doubt in my mind that this was an exciting Cinderella discovery," David Heffel, the president of the auction house told the Canadian Press.

拍卖行总裁戴维·赫菲尔 (David Heffel) 告诉加拿大媒体：“毫无疑问，我认为这是一个令人兴奋的灰姑娘发现。”

Experts confirmed that the painting was one of the many brilliant pieces by the post-impressionist landscape painter.

专家证实，这幅画是这位后印象派风景画家的众多精彩作品之一。

According to Heffel Fine Auction House, it's likely that Carr gifted the painting to her friend Nell Cozier and her husband in the 1930s. The couple were originally from Victoria, B.C. but moved to Long Island where they were caretakers for a large estate.

根据 Heffel Fine Auction House 的说法，这幅画很可能是卡尔在 20 世纪 30 年代送给她的朋友内尔·科齐尔 (Nell Cozier) 和她的丈夫的礼物。这对夫妇最初来自不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚，但后来搬到了长岛，在那里他们担任一处大型庄园的看守人。

The painting will go up for auction on Nov. 20 at Heffel Fine Art Auction House and is expected to fetch between around $73,000 and $147,000. Before it's officially up for auction, art lovers can view the painting, which will be displayed at Heffel galleries in Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto.

这幅画将于 11 月 20 日在赫菲尔美术拍卖行拍卖，预计售价在 73,000 美元至 147,000 美元之间。在正式拍卖之前，艺术爱好者可以欣赏这幅画，该画将在卡尔加里、温哥华、蒙特利尔和多伦多的赫菲尔画廊展出。
