At Tennants, there is a nice "Portrait of a lady" by a "Follower of Gerrit van Honthorst", estimated at £2,500 to £4,000. UPDATE: sold for £2,600. If you don't like to buy a portrait of an unknown sitter, I may be able to help you.

As can be seen from these portraits (one courtesy of Artvalue.com), both attributed to Studio or School of Honthorst, she probably is Henrietta Maria of the Palatinate, grand daughter of James VI of Scotland / James I of England. Certainly the second portrait is very similar. If it could be confirmed that it is Henrietta Maria, it should be worth more than £4,000. Obviously, if it could be attributed to Honthorst, it would be worth a lot more!
