<\/p>\nAntiques Roadshow's "youngest ever guest" was left stunned after he found out the true value of a painting he had bought at auction for just $2. <\/p>\n
The schoolboy, who appeared on the US version of the show, appeared to be on his way to a career in art dealing as he claims he enjoys buying and selling pieces of artwork online. He admitted he enjoyed collecting glass and sterling silver \u2014 including a sterling silver tray that he is most proud of. <\/p>\n
However, the boy was also partial to the off purchase of watercolour art and adored a piece of a woman and her child knitting that he managed to snap up on a trip to a South Jersey auction with his dad. Although, he admitted his family weren't keen on waiting for it.<\/p>\n

But his dad waited for him to get it \u2014 which turned out to be the right choice as the lad was left wide-eyed at the whopping valuation. In the clip, which has gained more than 115,000 likes, he explained: "This piece was found at an auction down in South Jersey. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"It was so hot there. My dad didn't want to stay to get it, but I wanted to. So, we waited an hour or so. We got it for two bucks. Two bucks? I thought it was a watercolor, but we couldn't tell because of the glass."<\/p>\n
The expert took a closer look and confirmed it was a watercolour and asked the boy if he knew much about the artist. To which, the kid replied: "I only know Albert."<\/p>\n

Explaining the history of the piece, the expert said: "Albert Neuhaus. Neuhaus was one of the Dutch painters. He was born in 1844, and he died in 1914. And I think your watercolor was probably done in the last quarter of the 19th century."<\/p>\n
He then continued to share that the watercolour could "probably sell for between $1,000 and $1,500" at acution today, adding: "That's a lot of money. Not bad for two bucks. So I think you've got a great career going as an art dealer. And if you keep at it. Yeah.<\/p>\n
