An original gouache painting by Swiss artist Paul Degen was sold on eBay two months ago for $500. It almost certainly was intended for publication, perhaps as a poster or a magazine illustration. It is a celebration of youthful discovery, depicting divers topics in the sciences including astronomy, biology, geology, natural history, physics, aviation, sailing, and space exploration. Such an illustration could have been commissioned by a museum such as, for example, the American Museum of Natural History or the Smithsonian, among the many, many possibilities.
