So if you had one of those you would have TWO Van Goghs in one.....eventually maybe it would be worth twice as much!

Interesting provenance!

Nah, he was just CHEAP!

"Van Gogh was known to paint over his work, perhaps as much as a third of the time. "


Canvas is expensive you know...

"Dogs Playing Poker" is so cheesy.
