Christ on Mount of Olives
A Netherlandish "Christ on the Mount of Olives" is (again) for sale at Bukowski's. Estimated at about 1,000 Euro and currently at 480 Euro, it is described as "Unknown Flemish artist, 17th or 18th century" but looks to be older, 16th century probably. In December 2014, it was for sale at Stockholms Auktionsverk (then dated to 16th century or later) and estimated at 3,200 Euro to 4,300 Euro, but failed to sell. The no-sale and changed date perhaps indicate some correct doubts about whether it is an old painting or a later copy / style of version, which would be worth less. But it is charming and unusual, and at the current estimation one can't go wrong with it. UPDATE: ended at 734 Euro, not sold.
