Unknown Fact

Unbeknown to Rue, his father too had the painting appraised in the year 1988, a decade earlier than the roadshow. In that evaluation, a curator at the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) too had revealed to him that the signature was irregular and didn’t match other signature by the same artist. What the people at that time didn’t know was that therein lies the true value of the painting.
