An unrecognised copy of the Magdalen by Pompeo Battoni. Often copied, but rarely can one find a decent copy so cheap as this one is now. For sale at Kamelot Auctions, 7 February 2015 (which made me chuckle, as "Kamelot" is Flemish Dutch for "rubbish"). Only $200, it's a steal. Simply described as "An antique oil on canvas laid on board of a recumbent woman reading." though, which makes it harder to find! UPDATE: it was indeed a steal, it sold in the end for $1,600!
