The secret
Once she got home, with tears still in her eyes, Cindy takes the painting off the wall. She blows off the dust that has collected on top of the frame and turns the painting around a few times. She doesn’t see anything odd. But on his deathbed her husband had told her to take a good look at it.
She decides to call in the help of an art historian from the local museum. She tells the man her story who immediately came to pick up the painting for further research. From the goodness of his heart, the art historian decides to use his tricks of the trade on a painting done as a hobby instead of on truly historical artworks for once.
