    This terrifying gem was just discovered under the drywall in our historical home and not sure who the artist is or where this may have originated from? Fascinating, unexpected and slightly frightening find to someone who is terrified of clowns!

      Oh you def need to research this. He is absolutely terrifying but yet it's an excellent painting! Start by searching in the area you are in. You can even look up past owners of the home and look to see any special names that come up as artists. That could end up being a real gem! Could even be the artist loved evil clowns or jesters and the mother was terrified and that's how it ended up in the wall! Would be awesome to find out the painter came on to be famous and you have an original!
