Ed Arno's Blind Beggar

Ed Arno's 1985 oil on canvas Blind Man Begging shows the hazard of not being able to see where the money is going. It was offered for sale on eBay in 2013, eventually selling for $49. Two years earlier it had sold at auction for a more robust $225.

This sold in August 2013 for about the same price as the original listing.
