A £7m Steen on the block

September 12 2012

Picture: Arts Council/Sotheby's

A reader alerts me to the sale of a fine Jan Steen, Grace before Meat, from the Walter Morrison Picture Settlement (ie, Sudeley Castle). The pre-auction guide price for any museums interested in acquiring this tax exempted picture is £7m. Probably the lower auction estimate will be around that level when it comes up for sale at Sotheby's in London this December.
