"Ferrarese School" is copy after Scarsellino

Cambi, from Italy, sells on 14 November 2018 a "Ferrarese School, 17th century" Bathing women, estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 Euro.

It is a good copy after a work by Scarsellino (1550-1620), who was indeed a Ferrarese painter. It is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The original is larger than the copy for sale (120 by 176 compared to 94 by 130, still a considerable size of course). Copies are usually a lot less valuable of course, but this is a good enough one, and the subject (Naiads) is always popular.
