鑑定書

Certificate of authenticity

某人気作家の油彩画の鑑定をご遺族に依頼。生前作家が使っていたというアトリエで、当該作品のこと、作家をとりまく現状、今後の展望など伺いました。「俺の作品、頼むよ」と言わんばかりに遺影が微笑んでいました。無事、鑑定書取得、帰宅

I asked examining an oil painting of a famous artist to his bereaved family. In the artist's atelier, his son and wife explained me how it was exhibited for the first time, the present situation surrounding him, the prospects for the future and so on. The portrait of the deceased artist was smiling as if he left everything to us. I received the certificate of authenticity smoothly and came back home.
