Chapter 58: The Soldier's Treasure

Seeing the contents of the box, Zheng Jing showed a puzzled look.

What is this?

Taking things out, it turned out to be an oil painting, but the back of the oil painting was facing up, and he didn't see it.

Put the oil painting in and put the box into the space.

Fill in the pits that have been dug.

After filling it in, Zheng Jing walked towards the outside of the forest as if nothing had happened.

Outside, Zheng Jing looked around, and only after finding that no one was coming, he went out.

Back in the car, Zheng Jing didn't stay here too much and drove back to Great Falls City.

Back at the hotel, Zheng Jing returned the car first, and then said hello to the black girl and returned to the room.

Coming to the room, Zheng Jing looked at his backpack and found that there was no trace of it.

Then, go and check the room.

After finding that there was no problem, Zheng Jing closed the curtain and took out the box.

Open the box and take out the top painting.

This is a painting of a man with a beard.

The man in this painting is only the upper body, wearing a fur-trimmed coat, a velvet hat, and a gold necklace around his neck.

In the corner of the oil painting, Zheng Jing saw the name of the creator of the painting.

Rembrandt.

Seeing this name, Zheng Jing took out his mobile phone and searched for it, and found that Rembrandt was actually one of the greatest painters in Europe in the 17th century.

His full name was Rembrandt Halmansson van Royne.

Seeing the work of this painter, Zheng Jing couldn't help but look forward to the price of this oil painting.

[Bust of a man]

Country: Netherlands

[Material: Paper]

[Weight: 0.53kg]

[Size: 25×33cm (excluding frame) 37×45×3cm (including frame)]

[Condition: Good condition, intact preservation, no traces of damage. 】

[Introduction: In the late autumn of 1655, Rembrandt met a man who came to him to paint a bust,

The man wears a velvet hat and a black fur jacket.

When Rembrandt, who was forty-nine years old, saw this man and knew that his life was numbered.

At the man's request, Rembrandt agreed to paint him a bust.

On the fifth day after the bust was painted, Rembrandt saw the man again, and by this time he was already a corpse on the side of the road.

Back home, Rembrandt found the bust and placed it in his studio.

On October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died at the age of 63.

In the year of his death, his works such as "The Carpenter's Family", "The Night Watch", "Three Trees", "The Prodigal Son", and "The Anatomy Lesson of Professor Nikolai Terp" were also sold or collected by major national museums.

The unstellar work "Bust of a Man" was bought by a farmer from the southern part of the United States.

Hundreds of years later, in 2001, the painting appeared at the Fly Market in Great Falls, and a soldier named Michio bought it. 】

[Value: 1 million ~ 5 million]

Seeing the information and value of this painting, Zheng Jing was overjoyed.

I didn't expect the price of this oil painting to be so high.

Putting the oil painting on the bed, Zheng Jing took out a pocket watch from it.

The pocket watch was badly worn, and a large part of the original golden surface was worn off.

I opened the pocket watch with a "click" and found that the pocket watch was broken, and the hands had stopped.

In order to determine the information of the pocket watch, Zheng Jing used the identification function to identify it.

【Loyalty's Golden Pocket Watch】

Country: United States of America

[Year: 1989]

[Material: iron, silver, gold]

[Weight: 65g]

[Size: thickness 18mm, chain length 37.5cm]

[Condition: Severe wear, the movement has been completely damaged]

[Synopsis: In 1989, Astor's father, Astorf Sr., saw this golden-looking pocket watch at the Seattle Fly Market and bought it for money.

In 1996, the elder Michio died, and before he died, he gave all his belongings to his son Michio.

In 2002, he joined the army at the age of 20, and in 2003, before he left for Iraq, he buried his childhood collection in a forest not far from the small town of Vaughan. 】

[Value: 100,000~500,000]

Seeing this price, Zheng Jing couldn't help but laugh.

Good guys, I didn't expect the price of this pocket watch to be so low.

This seems to be the lowest price Zheng Jing has ever seen.

After looking at the pocket watch again, Zheng Jing put it into the space after playing with it, and waited until he went back to find a trash can and threw it away.

Then, Zheng Jing took out an oil painting from the box.

This oil painting is also a bust. Judging from the style of the paintings, it is very different from Rembrandt's.

Zheng Jing searched on the oil painting, but did not find the name of the painter.

The painting depicts a middle-aged man with a serious face and a circle of white, scarf-like stuff around his neck.

Zheng Jing checked the frame, and there were some defects.

【Portrait of a Gentleman】

[Country: Italy]

[Year: 1712]

[Material: paper, wood]

[Weight: 0.57kg]

[Size: 50×37.5 cm (excluding frame) 69×57×5 cm (including frame)]

[Condition: The appearance is well preserved, and the frame has slight defects. 】

[Synopsis: In 1712, when Paris Rylanka, a student at the school, was working on the lawn of the school, a middle-aged man passed by and saw his work.

After a conversation, Paris Rilanka wanted to paint a bust of the man.

The man readily agreed, and after two hours of creation, the portrait of a gentleman was thus painted.

The man was pleased to see his portrait.

When the man left school, Paris gave the painting to the man.

The man took the self-portrait home and framed it.

In 1836, the painting was seen by a traveler and bought.

In 1863, the painting crossed the ocean to Argentina.

Over the centuries, the painting was brought to Texas in the south of the United States by a merchant ship smuggling to the south of the United States.

And in 1999, it was bought by a young man named Dolph and brought to Montana. 】

[Value: 300,000~1 million]

Seeing the introduction of this oil painting, Zheng Jing is like seeing the history of that time, from a certain university in Italy, to Argentina, and finally to the southern part of the United States.

This is not an oil painting, this is a piece of history.

And it was the era of war, rise, demise, and chaos.

To be honest, Zheng Jing was shocked by the luck of this oil painting.

Not to mention, after hundreds of years, this oil painting has been preserved so intact without any problems, which is simply a miracle.

Originally, Zheng Jing wanted to sell these two oil paintings, but now he has changed his attention, and he will definitely open a private museum in the future, and the items in it cannot be all Oriental treasures, and oil paintings cannot be missing.

Putting [Bust of a Man] and [Portrait of a Gentleman] into the space, Zheng Jing changed his gloves and took out another oil painting from the box.

Is this a stab in the oil painting nest?
