A "New" Van Gogh Painting Discovered

Can the world have too many Van Gogh's?  In case you missed this story, a painting found several years ago by an allegedly unreliable character turns out in fact to be a previously undiscovered Van Gogh.  It has now been authenticated.
 
According to the AP, "Louis van Tilborgh, curator of research at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, said the painting was unusual for the 19th century impressionist, depicting large human figures in a landscape. The painting shows Parisians climbing wooden stairs to a windmill in the Montmartre district."
