Absent, like many other works by the artist, from the unreasonable and irrational catalogue published in 2003, which can be considered one of the worst publications of its kind, given the omnipresence of omissions, fantasies, approximations and errors. It seems that the art market only acknowledges its existence, as all reputable auction houses have for years relied on the expertise of Olivier Bertrand, author of the catalogues raisonnés of Rik Wouters and Ivan Pokhitinov and curator of the most important exhibition devoted to Théo Van Rysselberghe. This portrait, estimated at €5,000-10,000 and accompanied by a certificate from Olivier Bertrand, was sold for €41,000 at Loeckx, Ghent, in June 2025.
