Lot 111: Children's portrait from the studio of Frans Hals

Est: €9,000 EUR - €12,000 EURPassed

Item Overview

Description

PAINTINGS - LEYSTER, Judith (1609 - 1660) (Attr.). (Boy with grapes). Oil on canvas. 38 x 27.5 cm.
Framed. The painting was attributed earlier to Judith Leyster, who was a pupil of Frans Hals. The portrait surely points in the direction of Frans Hals but we couldn't find further evidence on its maker. Comparison of the portrait with Leyster's Smiling children with a cat (1629) shows a remarkable similarity between the two boys. Judith Leyster was the sole female Dutch Master of the Golden Age and only 19 paintings are proofed to be hers. 'Smiling children with a cat' was sold during Tefaf 1990 for 2 million guilders.
