Galateau, from France, sells on 3 July 2016 a "Workshop of Frans Francken" Preaching of John the Baptist, estimated at 3,000 to 4,000 Euro.
It is a seriously damaged (the wood has warped, causing the big crack in the middle and making ot very hard to properly frame this I guess) version of a work I already discussed in
December 2015. It shows again the standard Francken composition, but is more detailed and has better colours. Seen up close it still is a rather mediocre copy though, and may struggle to get the estimated price. But it is nice to see another version of this less common Francken work (compared to some other works from their studios with dozens of copies).
