"Flemish, ca. 1520" was previously sold as "Style of Van der Goes", is copy after Van der Weyden

Schlosser, from Germany, sells on 5 April 2019 a "Flemish Master, ca. 1520" Descent from the Cross, estimated at 15,000 Euro.

It is a work I previously discussed in 2016 when it was for sale (repeatedly) at Hampel as a Circle of (or later Style of) Hugo van der Goes. The first sale had an estimate of 40,000 to 60,000 Euro, and sold for 36,000 Euro. It then was offered again for 20,000 to 25,000 Euro, and I presume failed to sell.

And now it appears again with an even lower estimate, which is actually a very interesting price for a high quality copy after Van der Weyden, in a style reminiscent of Quentin Massys.

UPDATE: sold for 17,000 Euro.
