‘Who?’ asked Cupido.

‘Fabritius,’ said the professor emphatically, but with less sense of fanfare, his expectations dampened.

‘We don’t know who that is,’ said Griessel.

‘The Goldfinch?’ said the professor, still hopeful.

They both shook their heads.

‘Donna Tartt?’ queried the professor, but you could tell he knew by now what their response would be.

Their blank faces showed they had never heard of her.

‘You have heard of Rembrandt?’

‘Of course.’ Cupido brightened. ‘Everyone’s heard of Rembrandt.’

‘Good, now Carel Fabritius was one of Rembrandt’s pupils. To tell the truth, he was the only one of Rembrandt’s pupils who really developed a style of his own. If you ask me, he was the best of Rembrandt’s pupils.’

‘So he’s dead already?’

‘Yes, of course . . .’

‘Okay, Prof, let’s cut to the chase,’ said Cupido. ‘Why is it a big thing that she asked you about this?’

‘Well, first, there are only a couple of Fabritius paintings left around the world, and the possibility that there might be one in South Africa . . . That is phenomenal. But there’s more, much more. I went to search the archives. And I found a reference. A reliable, trusted source, who referred to a Fabritius painting, here in the Cape.’
