I love this picture of two children. (Brother and sister) It is part of american history. Also actually think the plain background adds to its intrigue.
The first time he borrows money from his father, it's $20,000 for a painting. I'm curious if he ever paid his father back (judging from his demeanor, I'm guessing not)
This feels like a slave market for art. The most interesting thing about this artwork is NOT its market value. What's "creepy" about this whole situation is not the work of art as the description suggests, but the way this "expert" objectifies and commodifies the work, inventing absurd criteria ("I would like to have seen a little bit something in the background" > What kind of critique is that?!) to cheapen its value the way a used car salesman would inspect the car you're trading in. PBS, please stop promoting Antique Roadshow. Instead, redirect your resources into programs like The Art Assignment and Idea Channel.
Oh please this has to be the dumbest comment I've read in a long time... I can see SJWs have now invaded the antique market... get outta here. The guy is an art critic and apraiser. It's his job to analyse the work and compare it to the body of work he's seen before. He want cheapening it at all. He even said there could be a lot of upside and it was the best Ohio folk art painting he'd ever seen.
I disagree. Anything bought and sold is a commodity. It does look a little plain and I thought maybe the girl's arms were a bit off. Such things are important to know because it can dissuade someone from purchasing it. I know he already bought it (amazed by how much he paid) so for next time.. It comes down to personal preference as well and thats what the appraiser personally thinks. Better to know what may detract from its value and learn from it. We have to accept that it isn't always going to be what we want to hear.
I think this painting is much better for having nothing in the background to distract from the two children. Lovely piece of work.
That weird cat/pig/raccoon is freaking me out.

the shading/modeling around the eyes is really nice and combined w/ the wide open background is what makes it, imo.
Loooovvve this and with the dress and wagon I certainly think that adds value. The dress should be properly preserved and displayed 😍💖💖💖💖
Yes agreed about the dress and the wagon too. So much attention goes to framing and preserving only paintings.
This guy was also featured in another clip, where he had a second piece appraised; a vase, I think - with David Rago.
Paying 20k for this is insane but hey he made a profit
