Not really a noteworthy painting otherwise, for sale at Artingstall and Hind, auction house in Beverly Hills, but a remarkably incorrect description. They give it as "Miniature painting of the Rape of Europa", without any indication of origin, age, ... and estimated at $1,500 to $1,800. UPDATE: sold for $1,400.
In reality, it is a copy after Rubens, and the subject isn't the Rape of Europa, but the Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus (Phoebe and Hilaeira). It looks like it has been painted very recently...
