were many handsome paintings, worth
on an average $500 each. These
he intended to sell at auction, and
wanted me to send him half dozen
cheap oil paintings worth SO each.
sent him the pictures, which he received
with the others and sold the entire lot
under the hammer. A day or two after
the sale saw my visitor, who said that
he had sold his pictures, including also
the ones which / had sent him. Imagine
my surprise when he told me that the six
pictures which / had sold him for Sc
each had brought an average Of $35 each.
This incident only proves that place and
circumstances alter the value of cheap oil
paintings. The seller of the paintings
was supposed to be q man Of wealth; he
was known to- be patron Of high art,
and his collection Of paintings was known
to be Of the best All these cir,un-
stances permitted the connoisseur to de
fraud the public. Many oil paintings Of
merit by unknown artists can sometimes
be purchased for song. This is owing
to the fact that the artist is in poor cir
cumstances and is compelled to sell the
product of his brush 60 obtain bread. y
