Cambi aste, from Italy, sells on 28 March 2017 an "18th century school" Marriage of Cana, estimated at 800 to 1,000 Euro.
It is a slightly modified version of a Frans Francken composition I have already discussed a few times. In this case, the canopy is more elaborate, some classical architectural elements are added, and the garden on the left is more a park landscape than usual. The two cartouches on the right, another new element, have a text but it is badly faded and now is illisible.
The work isn't an original Francken (Cana version from the Hermitage shown) but a later copy, but even so it is a low estimate for this work.
