Selling To The Son Of Roger

With the painting now in your possession, once you’re thrown out of the auction house, or any time you’re not engaged in objectives you cannot stall, take a trip to Hierarch Square in Novigrad, and look for the quaint bookseller’s shop along the northern perimeter of the square. Enter the establishment, and engage the cagey bookseller, the inimitable Marcus T. K. Hodgson. After mentioning a man who came here years ago to keep a book for you (Secondary Quest: Message from an Old Friend), tell him you’re looking to sell a painting.

Hodgson is intrigued, and loses his poker face completely when you mention the daubing is a van Rogh! He’s temporarily short on crowns at the moment, so he hopes you’ll take some collateral left by a Witcher named Gaetan (who you may have encountered during Secondary Quest: Where the Cat and Wolf Play). You’re rewarded with the following, and the quest concludes. The Trophy is of particular note, adding five percent to the total of all gold you might find.
