"Otto van Veen" is Hendrick van Balen II

Vanderkindere, from Belgium, sells on 21 January 2019 an "Attributed to Otto van Veen" Young Bacchus, estimated at 2,500 to 3,500 Euro. 


It is probably a work by or after Hendrick Van Balen the Younger (1623-1661), as it is identical to multiple works sold as such and also matches his style in general, more than the more formal style of Van Veen.

One smaller, darker version was sold at Piasa for 1,030 Euro.

And another, from the Circle of van Balen, was sold this year at Cornette de Saint Cyr for 1,300 Euro.

A somewhat better version is for sale with antiques shop La Credence, for an unknown price. They give no attribution, only a generic "17th century Flemish".

The one for sale now is clearly superior to these three, and the estimate seems about right.

UPDATE: not sold
