After Rubens, Virgin and Child with John the Baptist


For sale on 2 April 2015 at Marambat-Malefosse in Toulouse, a painting of Jesus and John the Baptist described as "French School, 18th century" but which simply screams "Rubens" from even the tiniest picture of it. Sure enough, it is a quite decent small oil on copper copy of his Virgin and Child with John the Baptist and Saint Anne. Estimated at just 200 to 300 Euro, it seems cheap enough if you can live with the condition of the panel.


The original can be found in the National Museum of Catalonia.
