News via @auctionradar that the following 'Italian School, beginning of the 18th century' realised €130,000 over its €2,000 - €3,000 estimate the at Hôtel de Ventes Horta in Brussels the other day. Regular auction watchers will know that copies of Caravaggios tend to do rather well, due to a variety of reasons which are rather hard to pin down at times (read Caravaggio's Cardsharps on Trial if you're interested in this subject). Readers may want to compare this painting to a version in the Royal Collection and to this version which sold at Christie's in 2016.
