£20m-£30m Rubens at Christie's
March 11 2016
Picture: Christie's/FT
The FT kindly asked me to write about Christie's latest stellar consignment, an early-ish Rubens of 'Lot and His Daughters'. You can read the article here.
The picture has never been exhibited, and has been in the same collection since the 19th Century. Yet another picture to challenge the myth of 'supply' in the Old Master market. Well done Christie's for securing the lot. It's in the most exceptional condition - I saw it on Wednesday.
