In principle, for such a short time, it's a very decent result.
One point is I wish the paintings would drag from the same point you clicked on them. It seemed they were always being dragged by their bottom left corner, which meant they suddenly jumped from where I grabbed them.
Anyway, interesting idea!

Overall it's a nice little game.

Some of the rules for the paintings were a little unclear and some a bit too complex that there would have been good with some more feedback that showed the outcome of the placement. Either showing the calculation of the last placement or in the case of getting scores per duplicate and original, it could have highlighted each thing as it was getting scored.
The rule "+1 mult" could also have specified that it only was for the next placement. My thinking was it was going to be for the remainder of the paintings I had available in my hand (that is the next two).
But I think the most important feedback would be to show on the grid where you are about to place the painting before placing it rather than showing the outline as you drag it along. I had to keep reminding myself all the time that I needed to not look at the outline but at the cursor position.
Over all a very nice puzzle game!
