A discovery

Sold for 32,000 euros, four times its low estimate, this superb painting from the early 1880s was rediscovered by Millon Belgique in a Brussels estate. Unsurprisingly unknown in Feltkamp’s self-proclaimed catalogue raisonné, the painting was accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Olivier Bertrand, whose authority reassured the market and collectors, as evidenced by the enthusiasm of the bidders.
