After giving a positive appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian introduced the relevant situation and made some explanations.
Next, he walked to another Chinese ink landscape painting hanging next to him, and stood in front of this painting and admired it.
The size of this painting is relatively small, and the picture is an idyllic south of the Yangtze River, with intertwined rice paddies, crisscrossing rivers and nets, flat and peaceful, with a timeless artistic conception. It is pleasing to the eye and has a long aftertaste!
More importantly, this is also a copy of a famous painting, or a fake!
I copied a representative painting by Tang Yin, one of the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty. It is also a top-level work of art and is famous!
Tang Yin’s painting is also in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, and is one of the important collections of the National Palace Museum in Taipei!
The artist who made this fake also used ancient ink and ancient rice paper, the inscriptions and seals on the painting, as well as the calligraphy comments of literati and scholars of the past dynasties, as well as the mounting. Every detail is almost seamless!
While admiring this painting, Ye Tian asked about Leah’s views on this painting, and what kind of identification he had done.
Same as the one next to him, on this one, Leah once again slapped her eyes. This timeless Chinese landscape painting directly fell into his hands, no one cares about it!
He also did some appraisals, not only found an appraisal expert, but also did some appraisal with modern scientific testing!
The appraisal expert concluded that this is a fake, and the reason is simple. The original painting of this painting is stored in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Naturally, it is impossible for the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt!
The results of scientific testing told him that this is an ancient painting from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no doubt about it!
After listening to Leah’s introduction, everyone at the scene understood that the Jewish antique dealer was pitted again and fell into the same river both times.
At this time, everyone looked at Leah with a little sympathy.
points out that this is a fake, and after only fifty or sixty years of history, Ye Tian didn't say anything more, but quietly admired this one.
This kind of behavior seemed to others at the scene to protect the dignity of Leah, lest the Jewish antique dealer be too embarrassed!
As for his true intentions, no one understands.
A moment later, he walked to the third Chinese ink landscape painting and stood in front of it and admired it.
This Chinese ink and wash landscape painting is no longer a fake, it is a famous landscape theme, but the artist's level is relatively average, and it can't be compared with the previous two paintings at all!
Before this picture, Ye Tian's gaze stayed for less than a minute, then turned to look at Leah who was standing next to him, and smiled and said to him:
"Leah, these three Chinese ink landscape paintings and the five blue and white porcelains next to them, I am going to put them all in my bag, you can make a price, if the price is right, we can trade now.
Especially these two fake famous paintings, although they are fakes, the level of imitation is very good. Only this kind of imitation technique is worthy of me to study carefully, so as not to encounter similar paintings later and win my eyes!
As for the five blue and white porcelains from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, they can be regarded as antique cultural relics and have a certain collection value. It may be difficult to deal with them in your place, but I have channels to deal with them soon!
More importantly, I am a Chinese. I saw Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art lost in other countries. I instinctively wanted to take them back and bring them back to China. I believe you can understand! "
Hearing this, Leah couldn't help but froze for a moment, seeming a little surprised.
He looked at the three Chinese ink landscape paintings suspiciously, and then at the five Qing Daoguang blue and white porcelains, wanting to see something.
But it turned out that he didn't see any new content. Those blue and white porcelain and Chinese ink landscapes remained the same, without any change!
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} Leah retracted her gaze and looked at Ye Tian, then pondered for a moment before giving her offer.
"Okay, Steven, since you have taken a fancy to these Chinese blue and white porcelain and paintings, it is of course a good thing that you want to buy them all and have them in your pocket. I will offer them forty-five thousand dollars.
This quotation includes the cost of the acquisition, the profit I want, and the cost of holding during this period. If you can accept this quotation, the art transaction can be successfully completed.
But I have a request. When you leave my antique shop later, I hope you can tell me the accurate estimate of these blue and white porcelain and Chinese landscape paintings, so that I can solve my doubts in my happiness! "
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Deal! Leah, I am very happy to trade with you. When we leave, I will tell you the accurate valuation of these Chinese blue and white porcelain and ink landscape paintings!"
While saying this, Ye Tian also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Lia.
"Deal, Steven, I am also very happy to trade with you. Congratulations, I got some beautiful antique works of art!"
Leah shook hands with Ye Tian and concluded the antique art transaction.
In his eyes, there is still a bit of doubt, and the rest of the people on the scene are the same!
Immediately afterwards, Leah called the young clerk over and asked that guy to pack up the three Chinese ink landscape paintings and the five Daoguang blue and white porcelain so that Ye Tian could take them away when they left!
Ye Tian looked at the young clerk and asked him to be careful when scrolling the three Chinese ink landscape paintings to avoid unnecessary losses.
He even instructed the young clerk to say how to scroll Chinese ink paintings is correct.
Waiting for the young clerk to roll up the three Chinese ink landscape paintings, he took David to another shelf next to him, and continued to check and admire some other antique cultural relics and artworks on that shelf.
In the next fifteen minutes or so, he looked at all the antique cultural relics and artworks on the first floor as if looking at each other, but he did not buy any antique cultural relics and artworks.
These antique cultural relics and works of art on the first floor, although genuine at a fair price, are relatively ordinary in value, and they can't even enter the eyes of Ye Tian!
Except for the three Chinese ink landscape paintings and the five blue and white porcelains, Leah knows most of the antique relics and works of art here, and knows their value, there is nothing to miss!
After viewing and admiring the antique cultural relics and artworks on the first floor, Leah took Ye Tian and the others up to the second floor to admire the fine goods in his antique shop!
As for the rest, they can only stay on the first floor of the antique shop and wait patiently.
At the same time, on the streets outside, many journalists and tourists who heard the wind have surrounded this small antique shop.
It's a pity that they couldn't enter this antique shop. Matisse had already sealed the door with armed security guards to prevent others from entering!
In fact, this small antique shop has limited internal space and can't accommodate a few people!
Those media reporters and tourists who have heard the wind can only stay outside on the street, with their toes and necks pinched and looking into the antique shop, wanting to see something!
People are talking in full swing while looking around.
"Guys, I have a very strong hunch that several antique shops in this town will be bloodbathed tonight, and they will definitely be looted wildly by that Steven!"
"That guy Steven has been in this antique shop for more than half an hour. He must have found something. He has only been in this antique shop for so long. I just don't know what treasure he found?"
Just as people were talking, about twenty minutes passed quickly.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} In the antique shop, Ye Tian and Liya came down the stairs and returned to the first floor.
At this time, Ye Tian had an extra portable painting bag in his hand, which seemed to contain an oil painting. Obviously it was his harvest on the second floor!
Looking at Leah again, her expression was rather bitter, with a painful look on her face.
As Ye Tian and the others came to the first floor, all the people staying here looked at him, looked at the portable picture bag in his hand, everyone was full of curiosity and envy.
Ye Tian glanced at the people at the scene, then took another look to the street outside, and then said to Leah next to him:
"Leah, how do we settle the settlement? Should I transfer the money directly to you or write a check to you? The method is up to you, I can do it, and bank transfer is more convenient!
One more thing, you have to issue me a formal contract and certificate, so that I can leave Sinai and leave Egypt with these antique relics and works of art! "
"Bank transfer, Steven, this is just a remote town on the Sinai Peninsula. If you write me a check, I have to go to Jerusalem to cash it!
As for the transaction contracts of these antiques, cultural relics and artworks, I have the corresponding format contracts here, which can be issued at any time, and there is no problem with the proof. I will write it to you immediately! "
Leah nodded in response, her expression still quite bitter.
Next, the two parties began to sign a contract, conduct bank transfers, and complete the last procedure of these antique art transactions.
A few minutes later, the two parties had already spent money.
Ye Tian and Leah shook hands again, drawing the final end to these antique art transactions!
As soon as the handshake was completed, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, let me talk about the valuation of these antique cultural relics and works of art that I discovered and purchased today, to solve everyone's doubts, let's follow the order of purchase.
First of all, the five blue and white porcelains. They are indeed blue and white porcelains from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. They are of average quality. They are worth about US$80,000 on the Chinese antique art market ~EbookFREE.me~.
Then there are the three Chinese ink and wash landscape paintings. The first two paintings are indeed fakes. Undoubtedly, they are authentic!
The painter of forgery is one of the most famous painters in modern China, Zhang Daqian. Those two paintings were forged in the early 1950s.
In the history of modern Chinese art, Zhang Daqian is not only one of the most famous painters, but also the top master of counterfeiting. He has forged countless celebrities in his life!
和, he should have copied it after visiting the National Palace Museum in Taipei, or even more falsified, because he used ancient rice paper and ancient ink!
Of all the calligraphy and paintings of ancient celebrities forged by Zhang Daqian, these two paintings can be regarded as the best of the finest works, but I don’t know how they ended up in Egypt and let me run into them again!
I said before that in the field of Chinese antique art collection, copying ancient celebrity calligraphy and painting is a tradition. Some famous painters copy fakes, and the value is not much lower than the original ones!
Zhang Daqian is one of the best. The ancient celebrity calligraphy and paintings he copied can often reach the point of being fake, and the value is naturally very high. Many paintings are invaluable!
The value of his forged peace is not as good as the original one, because the original painter is so famous, he is a famous master in Chinese history!
Even so, these two paintings are also priceless top art works. I value them at 20 million U.S. dollars and 15 million U.S. dollars! "
Before the voice fell, there was already a sound of inhaling air-conditioning at the scene.
Looking at Leah again, she was as if she had been subjected to a fixation technique, she was stunned in place, dumbfounded!
