Museum quality works at Vanderkindere

Vanderkindere, from Belgium, sells some nice works in their 28 May 2019 auction. I already discussed one at some length, but a few others with better descriptions deserve some extra attention anyway.

Lot 97 is "attributed to Joshua Reynolds", an unfinished portrait estimated at 10,000 to 15,000 Euro. I have no idea if it is by Reynolds, but it is beautiful. Only the rather harsh red in the corners of the eyes gives me some pause, but perhaps this detail may be a clue for others to the true identity of the painter?

UPDATE: not sold.

Lot 55 is "attributed to Bartolomeo Schedoni".

It is a copy of a work by him in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples. This version has the same dimensions, but is somewhat simpler, so it may not be by him but just a very good copy (workshop version?). It isn't cheap at 40,000 Euro, but it is an impressive work by a very modern artist for his time. I wonder if it has been overcleaned somewhat though, or whether the pale colours are just due to the image?

UPDATE: not sold

 Lot 49 is a very good "attributed to Luis de Morales and Pieter de Kempeneer" Virgin and Child, estimated at 40,000 to 60,000 Euro.

This version, in a beautiful frame as well, is very close to the one in the Prado. The auction house correctly states that it looks more Flemish though. It also has some additional artwork at the bottom.

Another, somewhat different version is kept in the Hermitage. The version for sale would be a very nice addition to any Belgian museum of Old Master fine art, but most don't have the necessary budget (perhaps the Fernand Huts collection will buy it?)

UPDATE: sold for 36,000 Euro.

Finally, lot 103, a "workshop of Gerard David" Virgin and child, estimated at 40,000 to 60,000 Euro as well. While it lacks the extreme precision and lustre one expects in such an Early Netherlandish work, it still looks to be a good close follower of David, and a very rare work on the market as such. It will probably easily surpass the estimate.

I haven't found an exact example for this work, but it indeed resembles some accepted Gerard Davids, like the above one from the Boijmans Van Beuningen.

UPDATE: sold for 60,000 Euro.
