Damaged artwork mysteriously retains high price tag, seeker still eager to purchase despite extensive damage. - Drunk individual attempts to sell a painting for $7,000 despite being intoxicated.

A couple acquired the painting as a boon from an octogenarian dame a quarter-century back, purportedly portraying the sibling of the last Kaiser of Germany. The pair are clueless on how to deal with it, hence Assu and Mehmet Kanedark from Frechen take the gamble selling it on "Barbs for Relics".

The painting is indeed peculiar - and sizeable. Moderator Horst Lightning swiftly discerns the flashy frame. Colmar Shultz-Goltz also doesn't vouch for "making any sense of this ravishing masterpiece". It showcases an elaborate portrayal within the original frame, depicting a lady in a regalia hailing from the Ottoman realm. It's "overflowing with extravagance", snaps the authority in the Queens' tongue. Translation: "The gear is extravagant."

"Barbs for Relics": "Whatever Befell the Canvas?"

The lady on the canvas is draping the curtain aside to take center stage. This, according to Shultz-Goltz, "introduces an element of surprise". The artist behind the piece seems to be the German painter Paul Hide-Alder, who dwelled between 1854 and 1935. He deems the frame "one-of-a-kind".

Then the expert queries the vendors: "What transpired with the canvas? It appears someone fired at it" - highlighting three bullet holes. Assu Kanedark narrates the yarn: The hubby of the dame who bestowed the painting upon them stumbled home boozed out one night and indulged in a shooting spree in a fit of lunacy, hitting the painting in the process.

Mehmet Kanedark sets the asking price at a steep 7k Euros. However, Colmar Shultz-Goltz is reluctant to pony up that much. His assessment amounts to only 1.5k to 2k Euros. The pair refuse to part ways with the damaged canvas for that price, as its sentimental quotient outweighs the monetary value for them. They opt to stow the canvas back to Frechen.

The pair are not crestfallen about this. "To be honest, I'm also relieved it's returning home," Assu Kanedark admits later with a grin.

  1. The assessed value of the damaged painting, which depicts a lady from the Ottoman realm and is framed with a one-of-a-kind design reminiscent of motor vehicle manufacturing, is surprisingly low according to expert Colmar Shultz-Goltz, considering it's a piece potentially created by German painter Paul Hide-Alder, as he believes it's worth only 1.5k to 2k Euros on social media platforms like "Barbs for Relics", despite the presence of three bullet holes.
  2. Despite the sentimental value of the painting, which was previously owned by an octogenarian dame and acquired through an unusual story, Mehmet Kanedark, one of the vendors, still insists on selling it for a hefty 7k Euros on "Barbs for Relics", a platform for trading relics, citing popular entertainment, movies-and-tv shows, and pop-culture trends as potential attractions for potential buyers, signifying the painting's unique place in history and storytelling.
