Chapter 25 Unmasker
This painting seems to have a printed and dyed feel underneath, and the paper is a bit too thick.
Wrong? This situation is wrong. Xu Le took out the magnifying glass in his assistant's hand and carefully touched the lines on it, his mind running rapidly.
"It's just a handicraft, is it worth it?"
"Yes, Miss Li is still standing next to him, who dares to say anything?"
People like Su Yue who came with their tutor naturally had no seats, but everything that just happened was caught in her eyes. Xu Le sat in the second row, what a prime position that was!
"Xu Le, what are you looking at?" Su Yue leaned forward and smiled softly.
The appearance of this woman made Li Qiuyue raise her eyebrows. This recipe was very familiar.
"Su Yue, you happen to be Professor Ouyang's disciple, come and take a look."
Xu Le's expression had never been so serious. He bit his lips tightly and recalled the fake he saw not long ago in his mind.
right?
Why didn't he expect that? It must be like this!
"Xu Le, there is nothing wrong with this painting. In terms of the technique of a rural old man, it is relaxed and relaxed, and the use of colors is also very unique. Although it is not a masterpiece, as a handicraft, it is not bad."
"Miss Li, please wait a moment, I'll go find Uncle Liu."
Su Yue's words reached Xu Le's ears word for word. Sure enough, she didn't see anything, but when it came to the color and brushstrokes, he was even more sure.
Li Qiuyue was also stunned by him!
"Xu Le, what did you say, that painting?"
"Yes, I just looked at it. It is true that the craftsmanship of the painting was revealed. As for whether it is that picture, you have to hire a highly skilled person to operate it."
"It's simple. The assistant next to President Jiang is a famous framer in the industry." Liu Ming suddenly became excited, and he still had to go and look at the painting first.
The two of them strode over, and Liu Ming looked confused. There was nothing wrong with the paper or anything, but where did Xu Le see it?
"Xu Le?"
"Uncle Liu, look at this!" Xu Le pointed to the rocks and explained: "In terms of the background color of this painting, in terms of expression techniques, the rocks in the close-up are mostly rubbed with wet brushes, hooked and alternated, and the ink is heavier.
.The ink color of the whole painting is harmonious and moist, and the scenery treatment is clean and free. Although it is not that clear, I am already 80% sure."
"Wait, let me take a look again!" Boss Liu still didn't believe it. He picked up the magnifying glass and looked very carefully, for fear of missing a detail.
Li Qiuyue looked confused when she saw the two people's actions. It was just a simple calligraphy and painting, which was worthy of Liu Ming's careful look.
There must be something wrong here?
And it’s still a big problem!
Of course, Chairman Jiang was also the one who noticed this. Ever since he entered the auction hall, this guy's eyes seemed to have been fixed on Liu Ming. Whenever his old partner made any changes, he would immediately notice it.
"Mr. Liu, why are you looking at this so carefully?"
"It just so happens that Mr. Jiang is here, come and take a look! Just in time, let Xu Le tell you about it."
Xu Le felt guilty and tried to do everything in front of the two bosses, saying that he could not mess up anything.
"Xu Le, you are very supportive of young people. Okay, in that case, just tell me."
Xu Le forced himself to calm down and looked confident.
"I just took a look at it. The brush strokes of this painting are simple and without any characteristics. But after using a magnifying glass, I can clearly see that the brush strokes on this mountain rock are obviously different from other places. And this color, if
It’s not because there is a layer of painting underneath that would not produce such an effect..."
Xu Le's words became more and more firm.
The system won't trick people, which can only mean one thing: his guess is correct.
Now there is a 60% chance that this painting is a picture of a solitary owl in the sunset. As for the other 40%, I am afraid that the framer will have to be used.
"Old Liu, what do you think?"
"I think what Xu Le said makes sense. This painting doesn't look that simple. What do you think?"
"Well, the level of progress of this kind of material and this painting is indeed different. In what specific situation, let Zhang Lei open it and take a look. I just don't know what Mr. Liu has to say?"
Opinion? What kind of opinion could he have? The price of a landscape painting suddenly turned into a work by a famous master, not to mention the painting of a solitary bird in the sunset that he was looking for so hard.
Not to mention uncovering the painting to see what's going on inside, even if it's completely dismantled, he still wants to find out what's going on inside.
What was originally an ordinary painting suddenly attracted so many people. The organizer also sensed that something was wrong and rushed over immediately.
Zhang Lei was naturally confident in his move. When he first looked at it, he thought the picture was ordinary, but when he touched the paper, professionally, he immediately retracted his hands.
What's going on? Is there something wrong? Xu Le also had a drumbeat in his heart.
Zhang Lei slowly opened the southeast corner, touched the texture of the paper, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Yes, that’s what it feels like!
The paper is delicate and the pen and ink processing is perfect. Just from this corner, you can see that this is different from the top painting.
Zhang Lei carefully uncovered the first layer of painting. He was a little surprised, but more disappointed.
Probably because I had too high expectations, this is indeed a picture of a solitary bird in the sunset, but it is fake at first glance. If you didn't know the color and this painting, you would have thought it was a child's copy work.
"this?"
Xu Le's eyes couldn't help but stare. Yes, it was indeed that picture, but it was a fake.
"I really didn't expect that such a picture would also use the art of uncovering paintings. It seems that it was some young master's thing in ancient times!"
"No, maybe it's the ancestor of that old man."
"If that's the case, it can be considered as a family fortune."
Mr. Liu and Mr. Jiang looked at each other in embarrassment.
Li Qiuyue took a look and said with a smile: "This fake from the Later Qing Dynasty is pretty good!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions softened a bit. But Xu Le frowned, this was not an easy matter, what he saw was clearly not this color.
Xu Le picked up the magnifying glass, pointed it at the mountain peak, took another look, and touched the thickness of the paper, his pupils dilated again.
"No, look again, there is another layer."
"What?"
Zhang Lei was stunned, how could it be possible? He had clearly checked and there could be no such mistake.
"I don't think something's right either, Lao Liu, what do you think?"
"Now that everything has been revealed, let's take a closer look. Zhang Lei's craftsmanship is recognized in our circle!"
Zhang Lei touched the thickness of the paper and his eyes tightened. Indeed, as Xu Le said, this painting actually has two layers of mounting!
This can be said to be another challenge in Zhang Lei’s life!
