"Dutch School" is a Balthasar van den Bossche

Ansorena from Madrid sells on 20 May 2015 a "Dutch School, 17th or 18th century" painting of "The Collector", estimated at 3,000 Euro. It carries an old and obviously incorrect Gerrit Dou attribution, as indicated by the auction house.

Not for the first time, this is probably a painting by Balthasar van den Bossche, a very prolific one trick pony who is largely forgotten and whose works don't fetch a lot of money (around 5,000 Euro usually), despite being very decorative. I already posted about a similar work here. The painting shown here not only has the same general look and theme, it also has the exact same celestial globe on the right.
