Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 464
Chapter 464
This is an ordinary Western antique shop that mainly deals in Western oil paintings and sculptures, as well as some miscellaneous things.
Of course, there are also many modern crafts and tourist souvenirs.
Like the situation in many antique shops today, the business of this antique shop is also very bleak.
This can be seen from the thin layer of dust on the many items in the store.
Obviously, during this time, very few people came in to admire and buy these things, and no one touched them, so a layer of dust fell.
The business was so bleak that the antique shop owner also lost his heart, and even bothered to wipe and clean every day.
In an antique shop.
Xiao Ran admired the many goods displayed here with great interest, and would whisper a few words from time to time.
The antique shopkeeper Sandel stood a little later, staring at Xiao Ran’s every move, his eyes full of expectation.
Before, he tried to follow Xiao Ran and introduce him to the goods in the store.
The main purpose is not to ask, that is, to see what Xiao Ran can find, so that he can adapt.
However, Xiao Ran chose to refuse and did not need to explain.
In desperation, Sandel could only stand aside and watch.
At this time, he was in a very conflicted mood, hoping that Xiao Ran could buy more things, and hoping that he would not find any big leaks.
Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.
Xiao Ran has seen a lot of oil paintings and sculptures, as well as a few miscellaneous things.
But he just walked around, didn’t focus on any antique artwork, and didn’t even bother to ask about the price.
As he spoke, he came to a bronze sculpture and looked at it.
Just by glancing at it, he suddenly snorted in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at Elaine on the side.
“My dear, do you see if this bronze statue is from the undead of Rodin’s Gates of Hell?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the prototype of this bronze statue is located just below Dante’s left foot in The Gates of Hell,”
Elaine, who was admiring an oil painting on the wall, immediately turned her head to look over.
The moment she saw the bronze statue, she immediately nodded.
“Yes, this bronze sculpture is indeed derived from “The Gates of Hell”, and it is a very important undead image
in “The Gates of Hell”” “In fact, many of Rodin’s sculptures can be found
in the prototype of “The Gates of Hell”” “The famous “Thinker” is derived from the image of the poet Dante in “The Gates of Hell”, but it is only enlarged three times”
Said, she also came to this bronze sculpture and began to admire it with interest.
This bronze sculpture depicts a naked male undead struggling in hell.
He was covered in scars, stood on a bronze pedestal with his legs bent, raised his head, and looked up at the sky in despair, his expression painful and hideous, his eyes full of sorrow and pleading.
A hand stretched out to the sky, the thin palm is like a chicken’s claw, trying to grab a life-saving straw, so that he can use the power to climb out of hell and return to the world!
The figure shown by this sculpture is full of pathos, but with a gloomy atmosphere, and even gives people a terrifying mood that cannot be calmed.
Looking at this bronze sculpture, everyone’s emotions were slightly affected and became a little gloomy.
The antique shop then fell silent, and there was no sound.
A moment later, Xiao Ran was the first to wake up.
“This bronze sculpture looks pretty good, and the carving skills are quite clever
” “I just don’t know, which sculptor is this the work?”
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Sandel behind him, and asked curiously:
“Sandel, tell me about the origin of this bronze sculpture?”
“Where did it come from, and which sculptor’s work, can you tell us about it?”
Hearing the question, Sandel immediately looked at the bronze sculpture and stepped forward.
Approaching, he glanced at the sculpture twice before he began to introduce the situation.
“You see it right, Xiao Ran, the figure of this bronze sculpture does come from Rodin’s “The
Gates of Hell”” “However, the sculptor who created this sculpture has made some interpretations of his own
” “In “The Gates of Hell”, due to the setting of the environment, the posture of this undead figure is more exaggerated and more desperate
” “As for the origin of this bronze sculpture, I bought it at a nearby stall in May last year”
“According to the stall owner, the original owner of this bronze sculpture seems to be a teacher in the literature department of Boston College
” “The sculptor who created this bronze sculpture, but I don’t know who it is, and the author’s signature was not found on the sculpture”
Listening to Sandel’s introduction, Xiao Ran nodded gently.
Next, he admired the bronze sculpture for a while and whispered a couple of words with Elaine.
Then he looked at Sandel again.
“Although the identity of the creator of this bronze statue is unknown, it is undeniable that this bronze sculpture does have a certain artistic standard
” “Give an offer, if the price is right, I am willing to accept this bronze sculpture
” “Ah!”
With an exclamation, Sandel couldn’t help but be stunned in place.
He never expected that Xiao Ran actually took a fancy to this work of an unknown sculptor and wanted to buy it.
Is this bronze sculpture the work of a masterpiece? It’s worth a lot, but I don’t know it!
Could it be that this sculpture is not the work of an unknown sculptor, but by Rodin, a master sculptor?
Thinking of this, Sandel immediately glanced at the sculpture a few more times and muttered.
Unfortunately, he didn’t make any new discoveries.
This bronze sculpture is still the same as before, there is nothing special about it.
After hesitating for a moment, Sandel made an offer.
“$15,000, Sean, if you can accept this price, this bronze sculpture will belong to you
” When the words fell, Xiao Ran immediately shook his head and said:
“This price is too high, I can’t accept it, up to $8,000!”
“I can only see so much, Sandel, you think about it”
Sandleton paused, then shook his head.
“Sorry, Sean, I can’t accept this price
” “As you said, the artistry of this bronze sculpture is good, its value should not be so low!”
Xiao Ran
looked at the bronze sculpture, and then said: “That’s right, the artistry of this bronze sculpture is good, but the origin is unknown, I don’t know which
sculptor’s work” “If you can determine the identity of the sculptor, its value may be higher, but unfortunately not now
” “Since you can’t accept this price, then forget it, I’ll look at other things”
Said, he looked at another bronze sculpture next to him.
It was an abstract expressionist sculpture, two twisted and broken iron rings connected, and I didn’t know what to express, I didn’t know what to say!
Seeing Xiao Ran divert his gaze, Sandel regretted it a little.
This bronze sculpture of the undead from Hell’s Gates was collected last year for only $500.
If you sell it for $8,000, you can multiply it 16 times at once!
Although $8,000 is not much, it is definitely a huge profit, and it is very cost-effective!
In the current depressed market environment, if you keep this statue in the store, God knows when it will be sold!
Maybe on the day the antique shop closes, this undead sculpture will still be in the store to eat soil!
What’s more important to your current self than living?
Thinking of this, Sandelton understood what he should do!
The next moment, he nodded helplessly and said:
“Okay, Sean, this bronze sculpture was sold to you, just $8,000
” “If possible, after the transaction is over, I hope you can tell me what you really think about this sculpture”
Xiao Ran looked back at this guy, then turned back, and nodded with a smile.
“Okay, Sandel, $8,000, deal
” “I can agree to your request, after the deal is completed, explain this bronze sculpture”
said, and he touched his elbow with Sandel and finalized the deal.
