| Painting of a Gothic castle,
artist unknown, circa 1920s. |
00:00:07.280 - 00:00:12.400 |
| Oil on canvas, 20-by-28. Miss Franklin,
where did you say you got this? |
00:00:12.760 - 00:00:17.959 |
| I inherited it a few months ago. But
it's been in my family for generations. |
00:00:18.120 - 00:00:23.638 |
| The composition is so unusual. |
00:00:24.120 - 00:00:27.157 |
| The artist used pure colour straight
from the tube and then varnished |
00:00:27.320 - 00:00:30.073 |
| - each layer over and...
- I'm sorry for interrupting. |
00:00:30.240 - 00:00:33.994 |
| But do I really need to be here? |
00:00:34.200 - 00:00:35.997 |
| No, of course not. It's just that most
people prefer to be at an appraisal, |
00:00:36.160 - 00:00:40.517 |
| especially when they plan
on selling the piece. |
00:00:40.680 - 00:00:42.591 |
| - It's just that I'm kind of in a hurry.
- Say no more. |
00:00:42.760 - 00:00:46.036 |
| Just sign at the bottom,
and you are free to go. |
00:00:46.200 - 00:00:49.272 |
| Thank you. So how long
do you think it'll take to sell it? |
00:00:49.440 - 00:00:53.353 |
| Well, I'll need to see ownership
records before I can do anything. |
00:00:53.560 - 00:00:56.632 |
| I'll send you everything I have.
So is that all, then? |
00:00:56.800 - 00:01:00.076 |
| No, since you definitely wanna sell
the piece, |
00:01:00.240 - 00:01:02.071 |
| I'll need to confirm its authenticity,
its physical condition. |
00:01:02.240 - 00:01:05.152 |
| So if you'll just sign at the bottom, |
00:01:05.320 - 00:01:07.151 |
| that will let us go ahead
and x-ray the piece. |
00:01:07.360 - 00:01:09.157 |
| Done. |
00:01:09.760 - 00:01:11.751 |
| - Anything else?
- Um... |
00:01:12.240 - 00:01:14.754 |
| Well, yes, Miss Franklin. I would really
like the time to research this. |
00:01:15.320 - 00:01:18.949 |
