<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Broom, post: 7059916, member: 19942&quot;]I personally think it&#039;s a genuine 17th/early 18th century painting and the &#039;No. 8&#039; indicates it&#039;s spent part (probably most) of its life in a formal collection. I think tracing the artist through any facets of the artwork will be nigh on impossible - there&#039;s just nothing distinctive enough. An alternative route would be to try and trace the collection it came from - its first documented appearance on the market was in 1989 so for a start I’d try to find a catalogue for that sale in case a collection was being broken up. Why do you think it&#039;s Italian and not Danish or Dutch?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
