La Gazette Drouot has drawn attention to this rather curious and rare rediscovered Madonna and Child by Mathieu Le Nain (1607- 1677) which is coming up at Euvrard & Fabre later this month. The picture has been compared to other such rare examples that survive in various museums and even appears to have been painted over a portrait by the artist (for images click here).
