Painting exhibition

Some days ago, I got an opportunity to go to an auction of antiques. Actually it was a auction of old antique paintings. I remember last year a friend of mine bought a wall painting in an auction in a massive price.

I reached there before the bids and saw the paintings in the exhibition hall. Some of them were really rare of their kind and much expensive as well. I like a poster there which was painted in “madhubani” style, which was Indian pattern of paintings.

I bought one of them from the exhibition because, it was not too much expensive and I was sure that it will be harmonized with the interior of my home.
