GUEST: I know that it was done in the late 1800s by a painter by the name of John Haag. My husband and I bought it at an auction. We bought it mainly because we loved the painting, and we loved the idea that it had two little boys. And we had two little boys at the time.
APPRAISER: Oh, that's great. How much did you pay for it—do you remember?
GUEST: Probably... certainly less than $500.
APPRAISER: All right. I love this image-- the kite, the story, the little boys. I would value it at auction at $3,000 to $5,000.
GUEST: I see. That's very nice. Thank you very much.
