A unique work by Michael Sweerts, unpublished and previously unknown to scholars.
This small canvas entitled 'A portrait of the artist (?), presenting the Virgin in Prayer' is highly original in its conception and speaks to Sweerts' inventiveness and erudition as an artist.
Though the first article on Sweerts was published as long ago as 1907 he is still far from a household name.
Yet this mysterious wonder, once the well-kept secret of Netherlandish art historians and curators, emerged as if out of nowhere, with a body of work so diverse as to remain unclassifiable.
Michael Sweerts (1618-1664), 'A portrait of the artist (?), presenting the Virgin in Prayer'. Estimate: £400,000 – £600,000.
Old Masters Part I: 7 December, London.
