Painting I described as "Circle of Largillière" reappears as "Circle of Alexis Simon Belle"

Dorotheum sells on 10 December 2015 a "Circle of Alexis Simon Belle" portrait of an aristocrat, estimated at 6,000 to 8,000 Euro.

It is the thoroughly cleaned and restored reappearance of a painting that was sold at Rops (Belgium) on 30 August 2015 as an anonymous work, which I then highlighted in a blog post as a "Circle of Largillière" work, and sold then for 4,600 Euro. Considering that Belle is described as following the style of Largillière, it seems that my original impression (while going for the more well-known name) wasn't that far off the mark.

Considering the price paid and the cost of the cleaning, I don't think the seller will make much of a profit (if it only makes the bottom estimate), but it's nice to see such a work restored to its former glory and perhaps attributed better than it used to be.

UPDATE: not sold.
