A DRAWING bought at a market for 73p turned out to be worth £10,000.
Santiago Taute paid one US dollar for the abstract work in his native Ecuador in 2001.
He emigrated and it spent two decades in a box before he took it out to show British wife Delia, 31, last year.
The art fan saw it was by Brit Lee Hadwin, who sold a painting to Donald Trump for £100,000.
She had the drawing valued.
Engineer Santiago, 39, has framed it in Aldershot, Hants.
He said: “We’re very happy and shocked to find this out.”
