Missing masterpiece

A school in the United States never knew what it had in its library, until now.

What seemed to be just an old painting, hanging on a wall in Connecticut, has turned out to be an exceptional work of pre-Raphaelite art - worth up to one million dollars.

Even more astonishing is that the person who discovered it was a ten year old schoolboy.
