Copy of Carlo Dolci

At Eastbourne, they sell on 8 May 2015 a "Continental School" young woman, estimated at £2,000 to £3,000.

It is a copy of Carlo Dolci, "An allegory of poetry". A much better copy, attributed to the Studio of Dolci, fetched £9,375 at Christie's in 2014. But the one for sale now is highly decorative as well, and the estimate seems spot on. UPDATE: sold for £4,000, so the estimate was even a bit low.
