:::Absolutely: "the art" refers to specific art that the reader can recover not right there but in the preceding text, or from general knowledge—or it's specific because it's ''the'' art that the family had purchased; not any old art. To remove "the" changes the possible set of meanings. [[User:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">'''TONY'''</font >]] [[User talk:Tony1|<font color="darkgreen">(talk)</font >]] 16:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
