Image of Treat of the week

Picture: Christie's

The December Old Master sale catalogues have gone up; Christie's here, and Sotheby's here. It seems to me that, Sotheby's Raphael drawing notwithstanding, Christie's have the better sale.

There are plenty of nice things on offer. A particular treat is the above copy of a Van Dyck by Gainsborough (lot 44) - for an 18th Century picture, what better confluence of artists could there be?
