At
Il Ponte, Italian auction house, they sell a (quite damaged) Allegorical Figure by an unknown artist, estimated at 250 to 300 Euro.
It is a faithful copy of "La Fornarina", a famous painting by Sebastiano del Piombo from 1512, now in the Uffizi. A bit strange that an Italian auction hosue doesn't know this...
Perhaps it's more understandable from an American auctioneer like
Susanin's, which sell on 30 May 2015 another copy, painted by Louis Bardi and estimated at $1,000 to $1,500.
