Early 17th Century painting in the manner of Rubens
03 September 2021
Description

I have a painting of the Last Supper. My research show it to be an authentic modello by Rubens himself. I had been in touch with 2 of your representatives, Lindsey Bourret and Karine Sarant-Hawkins and was told to get back in touch as soon as the restoration was complete and had the painting back in my possession. I do have the painting but now I have not been able to reach either Lindsey or Karine. I realize the difficulty in getting modern academia to accept this painting as an authentic Rubens piece. I have decided to market it as an early 17th Century piece painted "in the manner of Rubens." The evidence for that is overwhelming. Can you please pass this along to ether Lindsey or Karine?

Provenance

I bought it online and have written a lengthy manuscript covering the evidence.

What does this mean?

The appraised work appears to be an oil on canvas painting depicting a religious scene, specifically The Last Supper. The customer has designated this work as a painting created in the manner of Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). By this designation, the painting would be described as a work in the style of the artist but created in a (usually) much later date. The customer suggests this work as a 17th century painting, but upon inspection, we would put forward a later date of the 18th or possibly 19th century. The estimate provided is based on comparables recently offered and sold at auction. The appraised work's size, composition, medium and condition (based on images provided), as well as the auction market for similarly designated paintings (manner of Peter Paul Rubens) were taken into consideration when determining the estimate. In many cases, pricing for similar examples available on the primary (retail) market vary, and are often higher than secondary (auction) market examples.
