So the catalog was for an auction that happens during the day.

And it turns out if it's like the big time stuff, you don't auction it in the day, you auction it at night.

So he sees a painting in the catalog and something just fires in his brain.

He's looking at the painting and the painting is attributed to a disciple of Rembrandt, an unknown disciple.

Like it's just the circle of Rembrandt.

So it looks very much like a Rembrandt painting, but it's nowhere in the history of art.

Yeah.

So when you buy art at auction, there's a range.

Things often don't sell because you don't get up to the reserve price or they sell above the range.

But this is what the organizers of the auction think is going to happen when the auction transpires.

So the range on this is tight and low.

But Jan Six is looking at this and there's a clue in the painting that makes him believe this isn't a circle of Rembrandt painting.

This is a Rembrandt.

So what if you could buy an actual Rembrandt?

And that color existed, as far as anyone knew, in portrait art for a short window of time.

And that window of time predated when Rembrandt was a star.

So he couldn't have disciples.

So he had no disciples yet.

So he didn't have this whole factory that he eventually had of people who were working with him and apprenticing under him.

And so it's like, well, this must be an actual Rembrandt.
