Picture: Thomaston Place Auction Galleries
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
This story is a few weeks old now but seems worth posting here I think. Social media was awash with interesting in the following painting catalogued as 'After Rembrandt' which soared to $1,175,000 hammer over its $10k - $15k estimate at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries in Maine the other week. Several accounts had drawn attention to the fact that it had a much longer provenance, literature and exhibition history than the auction house had drawn attention to.
Let's wait and see if it ends up anywhere interesting!
