Different from the first painting, the second painting is signed by the author, and the signature in the lower right corner is none other than Edouard Vuillard.
What is depicted in this oil painting is the scenery of a country villa.
Painters use strips of color of different colors to represent grass, houses, roofs, fences and walls, and use light colors mixed with different colors to paint the ground.
All the images that appear in the painting, including people, trees, buildings, etc., are highly summarized, concise and have both form and spirit. The picture has a strong sense of decoration and formal beauty.
In addition, the painting has a sense of form, order, rhythm and rhythm.
The large-scale use of various color blocks and lines gives the picture a strong visual impact and a good decorative effect.
Xiao Ran did not come to a conclusion immediately, but pretended to appreciate the painting seriously.
The same goes for Elaine standing next to her, but there are many questions in her eyes.
After admiring it for a moment, Xiao Ran said curiously:
"Isn't this painting signed by the author of Vuillard? If so, why do you need someone to authenticate this painting?"
Sebastian looked at the painting in his hand, and then said helplessly:
"I have asked several experts to identify it, but they all agreed that this is not a painting by Vuillard, and said that the author's signature is fake!"
"They said it was an imitation of Gauguin, and it was not in line with Vuillard's painting style, and there were quite a few discrepancies."
"Because of this, I came to you for identification, hoping to get a definite conclusion."
After hearing his explanation, Xiao Ran looked at the painting again.
"Indeed, this painting does not seem to be in line with the characteristics of Vuillard's style."
"In comparison, the first unsigned oil painting looks more like Vuillard"
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Sebastian, I wonder if you intend to sell these two paintings?"
“If you’re willing to sell, make an offer.”
"I want to buy these two paintings and take them back to study them carefully."
"ah!"
Sebastian exclaimed and was stunned.
Although he wanted to sell these two paintings to change his current predicament, he preferred to understand the true origin and value of the two paintings before selling them.
In that case, he will be able to maximize his profits, know what kind of price to offer, and maybe become rich overnight!
But unfortunately, Xiao Ran had already seen through his little thoughts and didn't give him this chance at all.
Before reaching a firm conclusion, Sebastian could only make a quotation based on his own judgment.
If you offer too much, you risk screwing up the deal.
If the price is too low, Xiao Ran may be left out.
Thinking of this, Sebastian couldn't help but fell into a dilemma, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
"It seems like it's hard for you to make a decision. It's okay. You can think about it slowly."
"When you think about it, you can come to me again."
"I will stay in Montmartre for a few more hours. You can come to me anytime or go to the hotel."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
After saying that, he took Elaine and the others away and walked towards the Love Wall halfway up the mountain.
Looking at Sebastian again, he was frozen in place, still struggling.
As soon as Xiao Ran and the others left, a group of people watching the excitement immediately gathered around and looked at the two oil paintings.
Some of the guys who were trying to pick up a bargain made offers to Sebastian, intending to cut him off halfway.
In their view, this is obviously a very good opportunity to make money.
As long as there is the slightest possibility, they are not willing to let it go.
It's a pity that the quotes they made were so far from Sebastian's expectations that there was no need to talk.
at the same time.
Many fans in the live broadcast room also discussed the two paintings enthusiastically and kept asking questions.
"Xiao Ran, are these two paintings by Vuillard? What are their values?"
"You guys must have seen something, so you decided to accept these two paintings and tell everyone about them!"
The old demon from Montenegro asked curiously.
Before he finished speaking, the broken puppet continued:
"That's definitely the case. Since you are interested in these two paintings, it is enough to prove that these two oil paintings must be worth a lot of money."
"You're playing such a hard-to-get game, aren't you afraid that the guy will break off and sell these two paintings to others?"
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then responded:
"The secret must not be revealed. I can't say more about these two paintings now."
"If I can really win these two paintings, I will introduce the relevant situation to you again."
While they were talking, they had already walked out of Xiaoqiu Square.
Then walk along a winding street toward the Paris Love Wall below.
While marching, everyone was laughing and chatting while admiring the scenery on the street.
Montmartre is the most artistic place in Paris and is quite interesting.
At this moment, Sebastian suddenly caught up with the two paintings.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran immediately stopped, turned to look at this guy, and asked his security personnel to let him over.
When he came closer, Sebastian couldn't wait to say:
"Sean, I've thought about the price, and I hope you can buy these two paintings."
“The quote for the first painting is 300,000 euros, and the quote for the second painting is 200,000 euros.”
"If you accept this offer, you can take away 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, the maximum I can pay is 200,000 euros. This is the package price."
"You can think about it. If you can't accept it, forget it and find other buyers!"
"Ah! Two paintings only cost 200,000 euros."
Sebastian exclaimed, his eyes full of disappointment.
Obviously, this price was quite different from his psychological expectations.
Others at the scene also exclaimed.
Some of the guys who are not short of money are even eager to give it a try.
It was only because Sebastian had not rejected Xiao Ran's counteroffer that they did not intervene immediately.
After exclaiming, Sebastian fell into silence.
After pondering for a moment, this guy made a decision.
"Okay, Sean, for 200,000 euros, these two paintings are yours."
"After the transaction is completed, I would like to hear your appraisal opinion to answer my questions."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"200,000 euros, deal done"
"I'll tell you what I think after the deal is done"
With that said, he took a step forward, bumped elbows with Sebastian, and concluded the art deal.
Next, he asked Matthew and another employee to come forward and take the two painting bags, take out the two oil paintings and check them!
After confirming that the two oil paintings had not been swapped, he began to transfer money to Sebastian.
In a matter of moments, the art transaction was completed, and both money and goods were received.
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, but immediately expressed his opinion with a smile.
"The first painting without the author's signature is indeed very similar to the work of the master of art Vuillard. I tend to think that this is a painting by Vuillard."
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion and needs further research and verification."
"In this painting, we may also find some stronger evidence to support my judgment."
"The second painting signed by the author, I think is not a work by Vuillard, but more like a painting by the post-impressionist art master Gauguin"
"To be precise, it's very similar to Gauguin's paintings from the period of synthetic symbolism. Gauguin at that time was very close to the Nabis!"
"As we all know, the Nabis were born from the study of Gauguin. They are a group of Gauguin's followers. Their painting style is very close to Gauguin's, and it is even difficult to tell them apart!"
"In the process of contacting the Nabis, it is entirely possible that Gauguin gave some paintings to Vuillard and the others, and this painting may be one of them..."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was completely fried.
"Oh my God! These two paintings are actually authentic, but one is a work by Vuillard, and the other is by Gauguin!"
“I can’t believe that two such valuable works of art were sold for only 200,000 euros. It’s such an injustice!”
No one doubted the appraisal conclusion given by Xiao Ran.
Even though his tone was not very positive, everyone at the scene thought that it was just a few polite words.
The next moment, someone suddenly asked loudly:
"Sean, if these two paintings are really works by Vuillard and Gauguin, what is their true value?"
As soon as this question was raised, the scene fell silent instantly.
Without exception, everyone looked at Xiao Ran, and many people's eyes turned 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 Vuillard and Gauguin."
"In that case, the market value of this painting by Viard should be around 2 million euros."
"As for this painting by Gauguin, 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!
