    This is an interesting contest of minor-leagers. I don't see much in the first Orpen painting but quite like the second; whereas, Ostade is doing a fine job at the kind of work we've seen other Dutch masters do much better. I'm throwing my lot in with Orpen!

    van Ostade. I think Orpen needed less gray in his flesh tones.

    It comes down to the final vote, as van Ostade slips past Orpen, six votes to five! NO WAIT IT DOESN'T!!! I was counting wrong! It's a SIX-SIX TIE!! That sends both guys back to the green room. The brackets will all shuffle around, and we'll see them again at least three months from now!
