It is a lovely painting, indeed.

[@melodygreen5029]

Beautiful, stunning actually! So talented. The statue is as brilliant as real porcelain!

[@GasFayce]

Love Colleen, she is so knowledgeable and informative with her descriptions.

[@donelmore2540]

The figurine almost looks like a photograph!

[@robertlebo7009]

very pretty. great frame. and the goddess shines like porcelain.

@robert Agreed! I kept thinking it was some kind of 3D effect… 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@dielaughing73]

It's uncanny how lifelike it is. I feel like I could reach out and pick it up

[@alexrex20]

wow this is fantastic. that letter is incredible.

[@corgeousgeorge]

That work is exquisite, such a gentle piece also I really enjoy the empty space above the focus of the work, something about what it makes the eye do as you look at it, almost like you're sharing a secret of some sort. I don't know how to describe it really but that vacant space really gives so much to this work.

[@ferrisulf]

That is stunning. I will have to look up more from the artist.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Gorgeous painting. Something serene and beautiful that many people could actually afford. In many ways that is nice, however it implies it is something lesser in quality. In reality it is so much better than so much modern, vicious and ugly art that goes for millions.

[@MillennialMcGuyver]

Just lovely…

[@joycemarshall4621]

What a lovely painting

[@alexrex20]

i love this appraiser

[@The_Not_So_Great_Cornholio]

This is what happens when artists aren't members of 'schools' of artist who all push out very similar, often very boring paintings. The best artists walk their own paths.

[@herbie0408]

3:06 was she talking about the painting, or getting fresh here...notice her eye movement 😑

[@lukefair573]

This entire show is staged and totally fake.

[@animalmagic5575]

There's help out there. Seek it.
