Of course, Huo Sining didn't go too far, only exchanged four gold coins for seven Chinese cultural relics, after all, she still has to cooperate with this old gentleman in the future, and she still covets the remaining treasures in this collection. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Adrien was helpless, after agreeing, he was very happy to trade those relics with Huo Sining, and he was not as awkward and stingy as ordinary people.

Maybe this is the charm of the old earl of England, otherwise there would not be so many people who evaluate this old earl as an absolute gentleman, it seems that the old earl's personality charm has been recognized by many people.

As he walked out of the collection room, passing by the corridor leading to the ground, Huo Sining's eyes suddenly fell on the European oil paintings embedded in the wall.

A few months ago, Huo Sining had come to Adrian's private collection, and when she first entered this underground corridor, although she had inadvertently detected them with the eye of the sky and determined that these oil paintings were antiques, she did not pay too much attention to them because she did not understand European ancient paintings.

But this time when he walked through this corridor again, Huo Sining's eyes inadvertently fell on a painting hanging in it, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Misho, what's wrong, is there anything wrong with my painting?"

Seeing that Huo Sining had been staring at the oil painting, Adrian on the side noticed that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

Huo Sining shook his head and said with a smile: "No problem, I'm just a little surprised, this painting turned out to be a painting by Picasso, I didn't expect this master to have such a popular and simple work." ”

This is a portrait of a woman in a shirt, the woman in the painting is wearing a looming tulle shirt, gently outlining the body emerging from the darkness, and the firm extension, revealing the arrogance and confidence of a young woman, and the ghostly flow with a delicate and vague beauty.

The overall atmosphere of this painting is conveyed in a subtle and delicate way, making the mysterious body pity the morbid beauty in the mist, but Huo Sining does not pay attention to the atmosphere and artistic conception of this painting, but the familiar signature at the bottom of the painting.

Hearing Huo Sining's words, Adrien was suddenly surprised: "Miss Huo, you also know ancient European paintings?"

Huo Sining shook his head: "I don't understand, I just saw that this painting has Picasso's signature on it, and I know that with your financial resources, Mr. Adrien, you will never inlay a fake outside this collection." ”

Hearing Huo Sining's analysis, a smile suddenly appeared on Adrian's face, and he seemed to have a little smugness in his eyes:

"I have European antiques hanging here, in fact, I also have a special European antiques storeroom, there are a lot of sculptures by masters, of course, in addition to these, the most collectible and marketable works of art are oil paintings. ”

As he spoke, Adrien pointed to the painting in front of Huo Sining and said with a smile:

"The one next to you is a work by Van Gogh, and on the right are several modern paintings by Vincent, Paul Cézanne, and as for the Renaissance, Dona, Masaccio, Sanzio and other world-famous painters, I have not taken them out. The painting "Woman in a Shirt" in front of you alone is worth more than tens of millions of pounds. ”

Hearing that Adrien had a lot of experience in these oil paintings, Huo Sining's heart moved, and she couldn't help but think of the dozen or so drawings and ink paintings that appeared to be Picasso that she had fished from the sea before.

When he first saw those paintings, Huo Sining was still full of doubts, because the style of those paintings was really strange, and when a layman saw it, his first thought was definitely not to clap his hands and praise, but to complain.

This mess can also be called a painting? And it's sold so expensive, can this Picasso really paint?

But such doubts disappeared when I saw this "Woman in a Shirt".

It's not that Picasso doesn't know how to draw normal sketches, on the contrary, this ink painting of a woman in a shirt, he paints very well, this skill is very skillful, and he can definitely be called a master of light and color.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining couldn't help but look at Adrien and asked:

"It seems that Mr. Adrien should like European oil paintings, so I don't know, what do you think of Picasso's works?"

Adrien probably didn't expect Huo Sining to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment before he smiled:

"Mr. Pablo's paintings are indeed somewhat obscure, and they are very different from the simple and easy-to-understand paintings of ordinary painters. ”

"The status of the European realist school is actually higher than that of the abstract school, but Mr. Pablo has such a high attainment in realism, but he resolutely gave up realism and turned to abstract painting, and I admire him from this point. ”

"As Mr. Pablo said, there is his blood in every one of his paintings, and that is the meaning of his works. His paintings are like a vast world, and everyone who looks at them can find their own understanding in them. ”

With that, Adrien smiled and led Huo Sining to a room upstairs: "You come with me." ”

Hosning didn't know what Adrien wanted to do, but he followed the old man upstairs.

When he got upstairs, the old gentleman took out an old box from his bedroom, opened the box again, took out a very old book, and opened it for Huo Sining to see.

"This is a note from my great-grandfather, who had studied in Paris and had the privilege of meeting Pablo, who was only in his twenties and was living in poor conditions between Spain and Paris, and my great-grandfather met Pablo and gave him some financial support. ”

"My great-grandfather admired and admired this free-spirited romantic, and he used to travel with Mr. Pablo to various European countries. This diary is some interesting facts and observations in the process of their travels. ”

"Later, when my great-grandfather died, my grandfather inherited the ancestral business, and I learned about the relationship between my great-grandfather and Mr. Pablo. At that time, Mr. Pablo traveled far and wide, and once he passed the Thames, and at the invitation of my grandfather, Mr. Pablo stayed at Albert Castle and painted portraits of my grandfather and grandmother. ”

As he spoke, Adrien carefully took out the sketch pressed at the bottom of the box.

"Although Mr. Pablo did not live in the castle for a long time, my grandfather had great respect for him, and when Mr. Pablo died, my grandfather was very sad and told us to collect Mr. Pablo's works at all costs, but Mr. Pablo's paintings were very precious and most people were reluctant to sell them, so the matter did not go smoothly.
