A 400-year-old portrait of a regally-dressed child during the era of Charles I could fetch 20,000 pounds (over $24,000) at auction after being found hidden away in a cottage.

The forgotten painting from 1626 was left hanging behind an open door for several decades as the owner had no room to store it at his property in Surrey, UK.
