Joan Eardley painting found in charity shop sells for £29,500

A landscape by Scottish artist Joan Eardley, titled Summer Fields, was discovered at a charity shop in England. Its authenticity was confirmed after a paper label was found on the work. The painting was later sold for £29,500, with the money going toward medical research. It was returned to Scotland for further assessment following the discovery. The sale reflects growing interest in Eardley's contribution to mid-20th century art.
