Due to limited time, Ye Tian and his team accelerated the visit and quickly finished visiting this gallery like a quick glance, and roughly enjoyed the many paintings displayed in the gallery.

Then, Ye Tian came to a painting he had just read and stopped to appreciate it again.

This is an oil painting on canvas, which is not large in size. Both the canvas and the picture frame look quite old, with many small cracks on it, which seems to be a bit historical and has poor preservation.

The content on the picture is a noble lady in a dress and her daughter.

The lady sat upright on a sofa chair, with an elegant posture, but without a smile on her face, a little reserved, and even a little rigid, her eyes staring out of the picture.

The noble lady's daughter was about seven or eight years old, and she stood beside her, wearing a court dress that was not commensurate with her age, with a stern face and stiff body, pretending to be an adult and staring at the painting, and she could not see the innocence she deserved.

Or it should be said that this girl's innocence was deliberately covered up.

Behind them is a full cabinet, as well as green velvet curtains or curtains that serve as background walls, and a luxurious carpet is laid on the floor.

There is no author's signature or any year number on this painting. It is impossible to tell which painter's work was created in that era.

However, it can be seen from the costumes of the middle-aged lady in the painting that this is a painting created around the mid-16th century.

Standing in front of this painting and enjoying it for a while, Ye Tian turned his head and looked not far away, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yulian, can you come here and explain this portrait to us? This painting looks interesting, I am more interested."

Before he finished speaking, Yulian immediately responded.

"Okay, Mr. Steven, I'll come here right away, please wait."

After saying that, Julian greeted the two customers who were receiving them, and then walked quickly towards this side.

The two customers were also very curious and followed closely behind, preparing to watch the fun.

The German guys who followed Ye Tian into this gallery before and were always staring at him all looked at the portrait hanging on the display wall, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

While speaking, Yulian had arrived near and stopped and stood down.

Ye Tian then reached out and pointed to the portrait hanging on the wall, and asked with a smile:

"Julian, let's introduce this painting. It was written by that painter. In what era did you find this painting? Of course, there is also a quote for this painting."

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, Yulian looked at the painting, full of doubts.

He paused for a moment before he began to introduce it.

"I collected this oil painting on canvas last year at the flea market on June 17th Street in Berlin. It looked interesting and I took it down and kept displaying it here.

After receiving this painting, several friends and I also conducted some research and conducted corresponding scientific tests, but we never got a positive identification conclusion and are still confused.

In this oil painting on canvas, we did not find the author's signature, the specific creation age, nor did we find other information, marks, or even mysterious characters related to the painter.

Data obtained through scientific detection methods such as carbon 14 and infrared scanning are basically certain that this is a portrait of a person created around the mid-16th century and has a certain history.”

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but nodded slightly, without disagreeing.

Everyone else in this gallery suddenly had their eyes lit up, and there was an excitement in their eyes.

For many people, an antique artwork from the 16th century shows many problems. This long history of four or five hundred years is the value of the corresponding antique artwork.

After a little pause, Yulian continued:

"Let's look at the style of paintings shown in this painting, and I believe you can see it too. Steven, in this portrait of a sixteenth century figure, we can see a few shadows of Holbein."

"You have a very good eye, Yulian, it's true. In this oil painting on canvas, we can indeed see the shadow of Holbein."

Ye Tian nodded with a smile, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes at the right time.

A look of surprise flashed across the faces of the rest of the scene.

Especially those guys from the German Ministry of Culture and the antique art appraisal experts from the Berlin Museum Island were even more ecstatic and almost cheered loudly.

Who is Holbein Jr.? How valuable is his works? As a professional in the field of German antique art collection, no one knows better than them!

Not only them, but everyone who has a little understanding of Western art history and Renaissance, cannot not know the name Holbein, and cannot understand the weight of this name.

During the Renaissance, Holbein was one of Germany's greatest painters, as famous as Dürer, the top Renaissance artist. He was one of the most outstanding artists of the Holbein family and was known as the perfect Holbein.

Especially in terms of character portraits, it can be regarded as a world-class achievement!

At this time, when they heard that the portrait of the character might be a painting by Holbein, could they not be ecstatic?

When Ye Tian finished speaking, before the rest of the people had time to interrupt, Yulian immediately continued:

"The first half of the sixteenth century was the time when Hans Holbein, the greatest portraitist in Germany during the Renaissance, lived, but compared with other portraits of Holbein, this painting is different.

As we all know, in realist portraits, Holbein has been striving for excellence and has reached an unprecedented level. His depiction of the characters and environment in the painting is extremely detailed and can be fully examined under a magnifying glass.

Although this oil painting on canvas is very delicate and has a very clever technique, it looks a bit rigid and rigid, which is different from the bright and elegant style of the portraits of Little Holbein.

More importantly, the portraits of the characters drawn by Holbein are customized by others, and almost every work has reliable evidence. The inheritance information of those paintings can be found in relevant documents.

Moreover, almost every portrait of his figure is signed by the painter himself. Not only does the portrait of the figure in front of him have no signature of the author, no relevant information is found, as if it appeared out of thin air.

In this way, we ruled out the possibility that it was the work of Holbein. Next, we compared the works of other famous painters in the mid-16th century one by one, and found no similar ones.

Therefore, we conclude that this portrait of the character should have been written by an anonymous painter in the mid-16th century. This anonymous painter may have known Holbein, who once imitated Holbein's style of painting.

This is the identification conclusion we have drawn. Steven, your vision is extremely sharp, and you must see more content than us. I wonder how you viewed this oil painting on canvas? Can you determine where it comes from?

Although this is a work by an anonymous painter, it has a long history and has a slight connection with Holbein. Given this, I offer it for 120,000 euros. I wonder if you can accept it?"

After saying that, Yulian stopped talking, stared at Ye Tian with his eyes, looking forward to his answer.

"Why!"

There was a sigh of relief at the scene, from the people in the gallery.

It turned out that it was not a portrait of Little Holbein! It made everyone happy.

If, as Julian said, this is the work of an anonymous painter in the mid-16th century, even though it is quite old, it is very difficult to preserve and is not worth much money.
