Re: Fw: Newton portrait

I am more of a slow turn kind of a guy. If you want to put 50% the money up and go for a double I am happy to help you with all the obvious places that should have this pntg. Make sure you get an accurate condition report and a letter from the leading expert on Kneller. Otherwise you are wasting your time.

I will sell 5m in painting this month so this is something I do very well but I really DONT do portraits like this. If everything you say is accurate, you truly have a $2,000,000 picture. It is grossly underpriced.

It might be something taking your time on

Thanks for the tips. I was looking to make a quick turn. You can too, if you are interested. Although he was not a great artist, he certainly was an important one, painting portraits of all the important people at the time, i.e., Pepys, King James, etc. According to the National Portrait Gallery, "Kneller was the greatest master of the English baroque portrait. As Court painter to four sovereigns, he dominated English art for more than thirty years."

sorry, Al , i spoke to my art advisors „ they said not even 100k„ and that would be generous.. he is not a good artist. , if it weren't newton, less than 15k

No offense Jeff, that's clearly ridiculous. I paid in the six figures for it, and have been offered by dealers $600k by a dealer, which I turned down a long time ago... I like the portrait, have not made an active effort to sell it, and that's that...

Yet, I don't want to "hussle" you in selling you my possesions or other things (as it makes me feel uncomfortable), I just want to do some real science, get supported in that, etc. What can we do to achieve this...

That's the goal.
