Most of Mr. Lambert's works were exhibited publicly, and Yvonne Finley had studied his paintings quite extensively. Thus, she became aware that she had indeed never seen this piece before.
It must be one of the works that was never released to the public.
It had a signature but no stamp.
It was a piece he kept for his private collection.

She took a shower.
Applying her hair and skincare products took quite a while.
