The seller, sandra_girl, Weltweit, Germany:
Here are the facts: This painting does not have a provenance.
This is not stolen.
This item has been examined by many experts and dated all experts believe this is an original Miro but because it does not have a provenance it has not been authenticated. Offers had been made to purchase it without this authentication but were declined because they were too low, and at the time I thought it would be easy to get it authenticated.
An art dealer had it in her possession for several months trying to get a provenance for it and was going to take it to Europe to be examined by members of the Miro family for authentication, which i could not afford, which is why I am selling it here.
If I had the connections or the money to get a provenance for this painting I would and then try selling it at Sothebys or Christys.

artfakes.dk:
This is not a question of having the proper connections, neither is it money problem. The watercolour is not a genuine work of art by Joan Miró. He certainly would never make such a lousy composition. The red figure! Is that a dog? It's far too big and furthermore: The other figures are composed in an inartistic way.

The seller, 2lcollectorsfun, Luxembourg: No reserve!
Estate liquidation: Important self portrait of Titian Vecellio.
The winner has 3 possibilities for this genuin old master painting: 1.) in that state with great impression as the unfinished picture is over a long time. 2.) to cut down the format to a smaller size. 3.) or to add the unfinished area dark by a restorer ( but it is much better to keep this important old master of history in its state as it is over a long time).

artfakes.dk:
"Cut down the format to a smaller size"! An original Titian!
What a wonderful art lover.
