Of course, Mr. Zhang Daqian's cloned work, it can be regarded as a high-quality product, after all, it can be fake, but there are also a lot of garbage including printed matter in it, and after you buy it, of course, there is no meaning at all.

And this time, the successor work that Hu Li took out should be regarded as a third type of work, it is not signed, but the artistic value is not low.

This copy of zuò can even be said to represent the highest level of figure painting in the early Tang Dynasty and has an important position in the history of ancient painting. The Tang Dynasty was a period of prosperity and heyday of Chinese painting, and it tended to face reality in terms of painting subjects.

During this period, not only did figure painting come out in large numbers, but the techniques of depicting figures were also fully developed. Yan Liben traced back to Gu Kaizhi and integrated into the magnificent and broad bearing, he in the "Emperor of the Past Dynasties", with strong and thick lines to properly and truly portray the personality characteristics of the ancient emperors.

The scroll contains portraits of thirteen emperors and their attendants, with temple numbers, names, and years of reign written on the top of the emperors. These more than a dozen emperors were Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling of the Former Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Pi, the talented and artistic Emperor Wen of Wei, Liu Bei, the honest and honest Shu lord Liu Bei, the deep Wu lord Sun Quan, the Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan who ruled the world, the rough but strategic Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, the smart and exaggerated Sui Yang Guang, the beautiful and talented Emperor Chen Wendi, and the weak and incompetent Chen Xuan Emperor Chen Xuan.

Even if the person who copied is now, it is a master of copying on a par with Zhang Daqian, although it may not be as good as Zhang Tianyuan, but after all, Zhang Tianyuan has special abilities, which is not easy to compare.

But it's a little annoying. Who created this painting is impossible to tell for a while. After all, the value of anonymous works is not as good as that of people with names and surnames, which is a problem.

Zhang Tianyuan is now considering whether to buy the painting. It's also a little hesitant in this regard, after all, if he wants to collect, at least he has to figure out the origin of the painting, if he doesn't know anything about it, he will make jokes in the future.

As for the value, he really doesn't care, because he uses it for his own play and collects it himself, as long as the artistic value of the painting itself is high enough. It really doesn't matter if it's worth the money or not.

But the problem is that you have to consider when buying, you can't say how much someone else wants, you just pay, that's a little too stupid. Therefore, even if Zhang Tianyuan thinks that this painting is good, he will definitely not pay a high price lightly, unless he can know who the author of this painting is.

If you can't find the original work, then this painting must depend on the fame of the copyist, to be honest. The author of the copy at the Boston Museum is not well-known, but it is well documented. If the author of the painting can also be verified, even if the author is not famous at all, as long as he has a name and a surname. Then this copy of Yan Liben's "Picture of the Emperors of the Past Dynasties", the price must be hundreds of thousands or even millions or more, otherwise. It may be less than 100,000. The two are very different, you know. The painters of the Song Dynasty copied the works of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and now they are also very valuable. It's normal to fetch a price of several million.

Although Zhang Tianyuan can identify the authenticity of the painting, he does not know the author of the painting, and he plans to wait and see Zhang Rusheng's judgment first.

It wasn't until the end of the ten-minute appreciation time that Zhang Rusheng sighed helplessly, to be honest, ten minutes is too short, this is not eating fast food, this is appreciating a famous painting, where is ten minutes enough.

Seeing that Zhang Rusheng's appraisal was over, Mu Yi asked unceremoniously: "Mr. Zhang, what is your judgment, and tell the big guys, after all, you are an expert in calligraphy and painting here." ”

He said this very skillfully, not only pulled the rest of the people to support him, but also slapped Zhang Rusheng's sycophant, an honest person like Zhang Rusheng will definitely say the answer.

Zhang Rusheng shook his head and sighed: "This should not be the work of the Boston Museum in the United States. ”

"What the hell, Huli, you dare to lie to us!" Mu Yi was annoyed when she heard this.

Cold sweat finally oozed from Huli's forehead, and he was a little at a loss at this time, and if he could talk again, it would be very troublesome to encounter this situation.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, can you wait for me to finish speaking?" Zhang Rusheng said suddenly.

"You say, you say. Mu Yi smiled and said with a smile, he was polite to Zhang Rusheng.

Zhang Rusheng nodded and said: "Actually, although this painting is not the one in the Boston Museum in the United States, its painting style is closer to Yan Liben, and the painting is more exquisite, according to my judgment, this is also an imitation of the Song Dynasty, and the person who copied him is very likely to be a more famous painter at that time." It's a pity that the time is a bit short, if I give me a little more time, I will check the information, maybe I can know who the author of this painting is. ”

I have to say that Zhang Rusheng's judgment based on his ability alone is basically the same as Zhang Tianyuan's judgment based on his ability. It's a pity that Zhang Rusheng can't tell whose work this is.

There is no obvious mark on the key painting, only some paragraphs and verses left by later generations, including poems, etc., from which the author of the painting can be inferred, but this is definitely not something that can be found out in a while.

After listening to Zhang Rusheng's words, everyone was not as excited as before, and began to talk in a whisper.

At this time, Hu Li also calmed down, although Zhang Rusheng made him nervous for a while, but now, it was also Zhang Rusheng who also relieved him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zhang's words must be believed, to be honest, whether this thing is the one in the Boston Museum, I don't know very well, but what is certain is that this is definitely a copy of the Song Dynasty, and it is also a monument, now you start bidding, the reserve price is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 each time, let's start. ”

The reserve price of 10,000 yuan is actually not low, the price of a painting, and the price increase cannot be less than 5,000 each time, if it is on other occasions, I am afraid that few people dare to bid, after all, a painting that does not know the author, whether it is worth 10,000 or not, is still a question.

What's more, although Zhang Rusheng is an expert. But there are also times when you look away, and those present may not fully believe him.

But there is a point. It's different from other occasions, it's the people who come here. That's not bad money.

This is the reason why Hu Li dared to set the reserve price at 10,000.

But Hu Li miscalculated today, because no one made an offer, including Zhang Rusheng, and everyone didn't seem to be particularly interested in the first lot, after all, everyone knew that the things in the auction were as good as possible the further back they went, and they must be waiting for good things.

Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw that no one was bidding. If it's only 10,000 yuan, he doesn't care whose work this thing is, and he will definitely not suffer a loss when he buys it.

Thinking of this, he raised the small sign in his hand and said, "I'll give 10,000 yuan!"

Others are not sure, but he Zhang Tianyuan can be very sure, this thing is a copy of the Song Dynasty, and the level is very high, it is definitely the work of a famous artist, 10,000 yuan can be won. That's basically a leak.

Don't talk about 10,000, even if he competes for 100,000 in the end, he will still bid, but more than 100,000 will have to be considered separately.

Everyone saw Zhang Tianyuan bid. They were all a little stunned, although Jun Ruhai and Zhang Rusheng knew that Zhang Tianyuan had a good ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting, but even Zhang Rusheng was not very sure. Zhang Tianyuan made such a simple bid, they were a little incomprehensible.

Others don't know Zhang Tianyuan. Then I felt even more inexplicable, after all, when Zhang Tianyuan was appreciating this painting just now. I didn't look at it carefully at all, it was just a casual look.

Of course, there are also people who don't think so in their hearts, one is the mother who knows Zhang Tianyuan very well, and the other is the Japanese Ji Xiaolu sealing the ditch.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang bid 10,000 yuan, is there a higher price? Everyone has heard Mr. Zhang Rusheng say, this is a real copy of the Song Dynasty, although it may not be at the level of Yan Liben, but it is also an ancient painting. Hu Li was talking, but Zhang Rusheng said coldly.

"Hu Li, don't always mention me, after all, I am mortal, I just feel like a copy of the Song Dynasty, and I am not 100% sure, if something happens, do you want me to carry this black pot for you?" Zhang Rusheng is honest, but it does not mean that he is a fool, he can also see that Hu Li is trying to use his authority to make money, but he has no benefits from Hu Li, of course he is not willing to be this shield.

As soon as he said this, several people who had originally planned to bid retracted their hands, and even Zhang Rusheng was not sure, spending 10,000 yuan was too unreasonable.

There was only one exception, and that was Mu Yi, after hesitating for a moment, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Ten thousand Wu Qian!"

"Okay, the mother boss bid fifteen thousand, is there anything higher than this?" said Hu Li with a smile on his face.

In fact, the purchase price of this painting is only 5,000, as long as it is sold for more than 10,000, it will be profitable, otherwise, they would not have set such a low reserve price.

Mu Yi chose to bid with Zhang Tianyuan, of course, not because he hated Zhang Tianyuan, he had other ideas.

Everyone knows that Mu Yi is a foreigner's business, and he definitely has the means to swap this painting with the painting in the Boston Museum, and he will not know it when the time comes.

It's just that he is not sure about the authenticity of this thing, so he is also very cautious in bidding, after all, his money did not fall from the sky, but was earned in a very dangerous way, and every money was related to his net worth and life.

"Twenty thousand!" Zhang Tianyuan held back for a long time, deliberately pretending to be hesitant, and finally blushed and shouted with his neck pulled.

"Honey, you don't have to do this, it's so uncomfortable for a painting. Ouyang Xiaodan said in surprise.

"You know what, I have just finished renovating the courtyard recently, and I have to buy some paintings to hang, which can't be too expensive, and can't be too good. Zhang Tianyuan's words were basically a pun.

One of them means that he needs this painting and hopes that Mu Yi will not rob it, and the other is to express his disdain for this painting.

Mu Yi looked at Zhang Tianyuan, and muttered in her heart, she didn't need to do this, if she really wanted something exactly the same, she could go to Zhang Tianyuan to copy it, why did she have to compete with Zhang Tianyuan, and in the end, she would annoy Zhang Tianyuan.

He would think so, it's not unreasonable, you probably remember that Zhang Tianyuan once handed over a few of his imitations to Mu Yi to sell to foreigners, but Mu Yi was sold as the real thing, and both of them made a lot of money, so Mu Yi believed in Zhang Tianyuan's imitation ability very much, and offended Zhang Tianyuan for a painting, which was obviously not worth it.
