sell better, as they can feel more &#8220;authentic.&#8221; And we expect paintings to often be touched up as some are heavily damaged. But what&#8217;s more surprising, is how many pieces have new paintings added to them, despite not having them in the first place. Cabinet surfaces, old boxes, old doors, just about anything.
