The Spanish newspaper El Pais has reported on controversy that has arisen over a Murillo which is due to be sold by the Spanish Tax Authorities. It seems that a row has erupted over both the quality and estimated price of the work. Enrique Valdivieso, the scholar who authenticated the work, described the painting as being over-valued. Other scholars have pitched in to describe the work as a second rate copy.
More details concerning the work's provenance have also been published.
