There's lots of exciting news in the press at the moment regarding upcoming highlights from this year's edition of TEFAF in Maastricht. The Guardian has published news that the dealer Stuart Lochhead will be displaying both a portrait by Velázquez of Jerónima de la Fuente (pictured) and a bronze attributed to Michelangelo which may have inspired the example painted into the picture.

According to the article:

The 25cm-high bronze corpus has been priced at €1.8m (£1.5m). Stuart Lochhead Sculpture, the company behind the sales, is not giving any estimates on the price of the Velázquez, which was kept in a convent in Toledo until it came into the hands of a Madrid family in the 1940s.
