A Canadian painting by artist Maud Lewis has been sold at an auction for more than ₹2 crore. The painting of a black truck came to its owner in exchange for a grilled cheese sandwich. A chef named Irene Demas acquired the painting in 1973. "Mind you...It was a great sandwich, with a five-year-old cheddar and beautiful bread," Demas said.
