GUEST: Well, I know that it's a sketch done by Rodin for his sculptures.
APPRAISER: For many of us, when you hear the name Rodin, you think of his sculptures, the famous ones-- "The Kiss," "The Thinker." But he was known for doing many of these drawings, as well. Now, I have to preface this by saying the vast majority of these kind of drawings that I've seen tend to be not by Rodin. I picked this one out today because I think there is a reasonable shot that it's right. Having said that, I would have to qualify it. It's really the people at the Musée Rodin in Paris, who have a list of some 7,000 of these, who would have the final say on it. The signature is certainly very assured. The line appears very fluid. It's a mixture of graphite and watercolor, which you associate with him. I would estimate it for auction at probably $8,000 to $12,000. If it subsequently turned out, in fact, that this was not by Rodin, the value would really be next to nothing.
GUEST: Sure.
APPRAISER: To be honest.
