Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 224

Carl stood up from the sofa and asked, "Mr. Hamilton, what painting did you receive again?"

Mr. Hamilton hurriedly asked the assistant behind him to come forward.

The assistant carefully held a rectangular box, and opened it, revealing an ancient painting inside.

"Miss Montgomery, I'm really sorry for disturbing you!" Manager Hamilton took the painting from the assistant's hand and walked to Victoria, "The eight appraisers at our auction house couldn't confirm whether this painting is real or fake, so we specially took it out! Come over, and please take a look."

Victoria's grandfather was a top national painting master, and she grew up surrounded by calligraphy and paintings. Under her grandfather's guidance, she developed a profound understanding and love for traditional paintings.

Seeing the ancient painting in Mr. Hamilton's hand, Victoria got up and walked over.

After the scroll was unrolled, it was a painting "Moon in the Mountains" by the famous ancient scholar Van Gogh."

It could be seen that the painting was very old and slightly yellowed, and there were some small holes in the paper, a little bigger than a pin's eye.

Carl clicked his tongue, "This is really an ancient painting. It's already so old. If it's indeed an authentic work by Van Gogh, it'll be worth at least a hundred million."

Mr. Hamilton frowned, "That's right, but our auction house's appraiser isn't even sure if it's authentic or not. Ms. Montgomery, what do you think?"

Victoria stared at it for a while, then quickly shook her head, "It's fake."

Wow, Victoria, how did you figure it out so quickly?" Carl was astonished. "Isn't this too fast?"

Victoria's rosy lips curled slightly as she chuckled lightly, "Although the painting looks old, the paper's aging is deliberate."

"Deliberately made old?" Carl was confused."

Victoria nodded, pointing to the middle of the painting with her slender fingers, "The lines of the mountains here are different from Van Gogh's habit of outlining, and there is also the paper. Van Gogh painted "Moon in the Mountains" with Khadi's paper, this paper is Yupo paper and clearly not Khadi paper.."

Although Khadi paper is usually not used for painting, Van Gogh used it for "Moon in the Mountains" at that time, so it is very special."

Victoria analyzed, "This painting should have been copied by someone from the modern era, and then put into a worm-infested rice barrel to make the painting old. These small holes in the paper are the bugs biting out. So this way, It looks a lot like an old painting. The person who copied the painting is very skilled, and the copying looks very similar."

Carl was stunned, his face full of admiration, "Victoria, you're incredible! How do you know all this? It's like there's so much knowledge involved!"

Mr. Hamilton felt relieved, "Miss Montgomery, thank you! I'm confident with your words!"

Victoria smiled faintly, "You're welcome."

Mr. Hamilton said a few more words before leaving with his assistant.

After Mr. Hamilton left, Carl was like a three-year-old child, circling around Victoria with curiosity, "Victoria, how do you understand art appreciation? And you know so much?"
