The painting was so valuable that, to prevent any accidents, it was not brought to the site but remained in Christie's auction house's safe.
However, tonight, the host of the auction began to detail the background of the painting's creation on the central podium, as well as other artists' and collectors' evaluations and estimates of the painting.
Although the host did not reveal the name of the painting's author, it was certainly known that this painting's author was the same as the one auctioned previously, "Father and Son", as well as other paintings circulated online like "Friday Dinner", "Sicily", "Eastern Castle", etc.
Judging from the painting "Father and Son" alone, this painting is of even higher value because that painting only depicted two figures, which were the inner portraits of Sirio and his son drawn by the artist during their lifetime.
