Albert
The boy knew the first name was Albert, but he didn’t know artists by that name. Weiss actually recognized it at once but waited. After a few moments, he broke down the second part, explaining who had painted the masterpiece.
What History Made
Weiss focused on the history of the painting before getting to the appraisal. He could tell the youngster loved art, and that could grow into an occupation. The boy already identified part of the signature, and Weiss told him the last name was Neuhuys.
