A genre painting by 19th c. American artist Thomas Waterman Wood, whose top auction price is $180,000, according to AskArt, has been valued at upwards of $1 million. The 28-by-40-inch work, from the T.W. Wood Gallery, was hung in the legislative lounge of Vermont's Statehouse in an effort to display art of historical importance and regional appeal.

Titled "Quack Doctor," the 1897 painting depicts a traveling patent medicine salesman with his wagon set up on a Montpelier, Vermont, street corner.
