Chapter 10 Local Contour Drawing

  "What did you say?" The shop owner was furious and laughed: "The appraisal document is clearly placed here! Can it be fake? Are you trying to cheat? If you don't have money, just say so! We'll call the police!"

  Someone outside said: "Little girl, it's fake and can't be faked. Teachers Liu and Li have both seen it."

  Tao Bao understood their thoughts. In this era where money can buy appraisal books, a piece of paper may not be enough to explain the problem, but the key is that Liu Jun didn't even see the problem, and others still wanted to buy it.

  Liu Jun has a great reputation in the industry and is absolutely an authority. The Mr. Li next to him is also a famous appraisal expert.

  At this time, Liu Jun smiled and handed the damaged painting to Tao Bao Bao, as if he wanted Tao Bao Bao to point out what was wrong. He was very curious about where this beautiful little girl's strong confidence came from, a confidence that was not pretended.

  But Mr. Li just smiled disdainfully and shook his head, without even looking at Tao Bao Bao.

  Tao Bao Bao recombined the parts in his hand with those in Liu Jun's hand, "I know why you experts are so sure. This painting style is indeed consistent with Mr. Qi Baishi's style, especially during his middle age period. So, excluding the possibility of forgery, and considering that this type of composition has not appeared in any of Qi Baishi's existing works, the possibility of it being a reproduction using woodblock water printing technology is also very small."

  "You can't see it, but you have a bit of insight." The shop owner looked at Tao Baobao in surprise: "Then why do you say this painting is fake?"

  "This is exactly where the forgers are clever." Tao Baobao said with a smile: "You are all experts, and it's not my turn as a little girl to show off here, but I'd like to ask another question, why is the composition of this painting so strange? The position of this horse is a bit too close to the edge, doesn't it give an incomplete feeling? And why didn't Mr. Bai Shi sign his name on it? It doesn't look like a manuscript."

  Mr. Li subtly curled his lip: "There are many famous paintings without a signature."

  Liu Jun, however, looked at the paper with an unusual seriousness: "Tell me your judgment."

  "This is not a complete work and should be just a partial copy." Tao Baobao said affirmatively, "The forger must have had the original painting in his hands."

  "No matter how good the forgery is, there will always be some flaws. The less you paint, the smaller the flaw will be. Moreover, the forger has the real painting in hand and doesn't let it out, which increases the deceptive nature of the fake painting. Is that what you mean?" Liu Jun asked without lifting his head, while carefully examining the painting and asking Tao Baobao classmate.

  "Yes, so the forgers didn't paint the withered trees, rivers and sunset," Tao Baobao said.

  "What? Have you seen the real painting?" Liu Jun suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Tao Bao.

  Tao Bao's face turned slightly red: "I've only seen a replica of it."

  "Where is it?" Liu Jun asked.

  "I heard that it was collected by Mr. Wang Gang, who often appears on TV." Tao Baobao's classmate racked his brains and said: "You should know him, if you don't believe me, you can call him and ask Mr. Wang to pass over a photo."

  "Okay, I'll ask." Liu Jun also seemed to have doubts about the painting and flipped out his mobile phone to dial.

  "Hey, Teacher Wang, it's Liu Jun. I wanted to ask you, did you receive a painting from Mr. Bai Shi recently? ... Really? Is it authentic? No big deal, I just want a photo of it... Yeah, there's something I need to compare with it... Okay... okay... thanks, that's all, bye."
