Vanderkindere sells on 19 April 2016 an "Antwerp School, 16th century" Lamentation, estimated at 1,000 to 1,500 Euro.
It is a more mediocre but considerably cheaper version of the painting I just highlighted a few weeks ago for a
sale at Hampel on 7 April 2016. Not worth more than the estimate, but it just amazes me how often such works appear in clusters (perhaps some perception bias at work here).
UPDATE: sold for 1,900 Euro, a bit more than I expected.
UPDATE 2: again for sale, now at
Mercier, France on 16 October 2016 with an estimate of 1,500 to 2,000 Euro. Seems to be cleaned a bit, but remains a mediocre version, so the chance of this exceeding the estimate is small.
UPDATE 3: and now for sale at
Rops, Belgium, on 9 April 2017, again for 1,500 to 2,000 Euro. Works like this always make me wary of bidding too enthusiastic on paintings: while they may sometimes yield very nice profits, other times you simply get stuck with them and no one seems to want them even when you sell at a loss.
