The French art press have reported on news of the reappearance of another autograph version of Guido Reni's David and Goliath (of which many versions are known). The picture has been linked to a commission from the Duke of Modena (a provenance which was also claimed by this version which failed to sell at Sotheby's in 2012) which was later acquired by Eugene of Savoy and was eventually came into the collection of General Dupont at the end of the eighteenth century (click on the link above to read the full story). The discovery was unveiled by Turquin & Associates today. 

The work will be offered for sale in November carrying an estimate of €2m - €4m.
