If its provenance hadn't been in question, I could never have afforded it!

I don't know if it's one of the "signed the blank sheets" engravings or the "extra runs" engravings. But the big question mark meant that I was the only one who bid on it, and I always start low! < g >

Well, good for you! After all, it's the art that counts. If you like it, that's what matters.

A month ago I visited the Gardner Museum in Boston to revisit the magnificence therein, but also to remind myself of one of the most selfish of acts ever, the theft from there. Such mortal arrogance to think that one should have those paintings over the rest of us as bequeathed by Mrs. Gardner.

Bastards.
