Chapter 872
Unlike the first painting, the second painting has the author's signature, and the signature in the lower right corner is Edward. Vial.
This painting depicts the scenery of a country house.
The painter uses strips of different colors to represent grass, houses, roofs, walls and walls, and uses light colors of different colors to paint the ground.
All the images that appear in the painting, including figures, trees, buildings, etc., are highly generalized, concise and spiritual, and the picture has a strong sense of decorative and formal beauty.
In addition, the picture of this painting is full of form, order, rhythm and rhythm.
The various color blocks and lines used in large sizes make the picture have a strong visual impact and a good decorative effect.
Xiao Ran did not immediately give a conclusion, but pretended to admire the painting seriously.
Elaine, who was standing next to her, was the same, but there were many questions in her eyes.
After admiring it for a moment, Xiao Ran said curiously:
"Isn't this painting signed by Vial's author, in that case, why do you have to find someone to identify this painting?"
Sebastian looked at the painting in his hand, and then said helplessly:
"I have asked several experts to appraise, but they all agree that this is not Vial's painting, and say that the author's signature is fake!"
"They said that this is a Gauguin imitation, which does not conform to Vial's painting style, and there are many differences
" "Because of this, I came to you for appraisal, hoping to get a definite conclusion"
Hearing his explanation, Xiao Ran looked at the painting again.
"Indeed, this painting does not look very suitable for Vial's style characteristics
" "In comparison, the first oil painting without a signature is more like Vial"
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his tone.
"Sebastian, I wonder if you intend to sell these two paintings?"
"If you are willing to sell, then give an offer
" "I want to buy these two paintings and take them back and study them well
" "Ah!"
Sebastian exclaimed, directly stunned.
Although he would love to sell these two paintings to change his current predicament, he would prefer to sell them only after figuring out their true provenance and value.
In that case, he can maximize his profits, know what kind of offer is appropriate, and maybe become rich overnight!
But it's a pity that Xiao Ran saw through his careful thinking and didn't give him this opportunity at all.
Without reaching a firm conclusion, Sebastian could only quote according to his own judgment.
If the offer is too high, there is a risk of screwing up the deal.
If the asking price is too low, it is likely to be picked up by Xiao Ran.
Thinking of this, Sebastian couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
"It seems that it is difficult for you to decide, it doesn't matter
, you can think about it slowly" "When you think about it
, you can come to me again" "I still have to stay in Montmartre for a few hours, you can come to me at any time, you can also go to the hotel"
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
After that, he left with Elaine and them, and walked towards the wall of love located halfway up the mountain.
Looking at Sebastian again, he was stunned in place, still entangled.
As soon as Xiao Ran and they left, a group of guys who were watching the excitement immediately gathered around and looked at the two oil paintings.
Some of these guys who tried to pick up bargains made offers to Sebastian, intending to cut off halfway.
In their opinion, this is obviously a very good opportunity to make a fortune.
As long as there is the slightest possibility, they are not willing to let go.
Unfortunately, the offers they made were too far from Sebastian's expectations, and there was no need to talk about them.
Meanwhile.
Many fans in the live broadcast room also discussed the two paintings enthusiastically and kept asking questions.
"Xiao Ran, are these two paintings the works of Vial? What is the value?
"You guy must have seen something, that's why I plan to accept these two paintings and tell everyone about it!"
The Black Mountain demon asked curiously.
Before the words fell, the broken line puppet said:
"It must be so, since you guy has seen these two paintings, it is enough to show that these two oil paintings must be worth a lot
" "You play such a trick to get rid of the situation, aren't you afraid that the guy will get off the hook and sell these two paintings to others?"
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then responded:
"The heavenly machine must not be leaked, about these two paintings, I can't say more now
" "If I can really win these two paintings, I will introduce the relevant situation to everyone"
As they spoke, they had already walked out of the Hillock Square.
Then walk down a winding street towards the Paris Love Wall below.
While marching, everyone laughed and chatted while enjoying the scenery on the street.
Montmartre is one of the most artistic places in Paris, and it's still a bit interesting.
At this moment, Sebastian was carrying the two paintings and suddenly chased after him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran immediately stopped, turned his head to look at this guy, and asked his security personnel to let this guy over.
When he came closer, Sebastian couldn't wait to say:
"Sean, I have made an offer, and I hope you can buy these two paintings" "The price of the first painting is 300,000 euros, and the price of the second painting is 200,000 euros
" "If you can accept this offer, you can take these two paintings"
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, and then shook his head.
"This offer is too high, Sebastian, I can't accept it!"
"For these two paintings, I will pay up to 200,000 euros, which is the packaging price
" "You can think about it, if you can't accept it, then forget it, and find another buyer!"
"Ah! Two paintings for only 200,000 euros"
Sebastian exclaimed, his eyes full of disappointment.
Obviously, this price is quite different from his psychological expectations.
Other people who were also at the scene also exclaimed.
Some of these guys who are not bad at money are even eager to try.
It was only because Sebastian had not yet refused Xiao Ran's counteroffer that they did not immediately intervene.
After the exclamation, Sebastian fell silent.
After pondering for a moment, this guy made a decision.
"Okay, Sean, just 200,000 euros, these two oil paintings belong to you
" "After completing the transaction, I want to hear your appraisal opinion, so as to solve the doubts in my heart"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"200,000 euros, deal
" "After the deal is completed, I will say my opinion"
said, he stepped forward and touched his elbow with Sebastian to reach the art deal.
Next, he asked Matthew and another employee to step forward and take two painting bags, take out the two oil paintings and check them!
After confirming that the two paintings had not been dropped, he began to transfer money to Sebastian.
In a matter of moments, the art deal was complete, and the money was lost.
When Sebastian received the bank text message confirming the payment, everyone at the scene immediately looked at Xiao Ran, wanting to hear his appraisal conclusion.
Xiao Ran did not hide it, and then smiled and said his opinion.
"The first painting without the author's signature is indeed very similar to the work of the master Vial, and I tend to think that this is Vial's painting" "Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and further research and verification are needed
" "On this painting, we may find some stronger evidence to support my judgment
" "The second painting with the author's signature, but I think it is not Vial's
work, On the contrary, it is more like the paintings of the post-impressionist master Gauguin
" "To be precise, it is very similar to the paintings of Gauguin's comprehensive symbolism period, when Gauguin was very close to the Nabi school!"
"As we all know, Nabi was born out of the study of Gauguin, a group of Gauguin believers, and the style of painting is very close to Gauguin, and it is even difficult to distinguish!"
"In the process of contacting the Nabis painters, it is entirely possible that Gauguin gave them some paintings, and this painting may be one of them,...... "
The words did not fall, and the scene was completely fried.
"Oh my God! Both paintings are actually genuine works, except that one is Vial's work, and the other is by Gauguin!
"I can't believe that such two valuable works of art have only sold for 200,000 euros, which is really unjust!"
No one doubted the appraisal conclusion given by Xiao Ran at all.
Even though his tone was not very certain, everyone at the scene thought that it was just a few kind words.
The next moment, someone at the scene suddenly asked loudly:
"Sean, if these two paintings are really the works of Vial and Gauguin, what is their real value?"
As this question was thrown, the scene instantly fell silent.
Without exception, everyone looked at Xiao Ran, and many people's eyes were red.
Xiao Ran looked at the guy who asked the question, and then gave the answer.
"If my judgment is correct
, these two paintings are indeed the works of Vial and Gauguin" "In that case, the market value of Viar's painting should be about 2 million
euros" "As for Gauguin's painting, its value is more than 100 million euros,......" As
the market value of these two paintings was announced, the scene suddenly became quieter, and everyone was stunned in place!
Gauguin, "Self-Portrait to Van Gogh"
