Circle of Cornelius Janssen (1593-1661)
oil on canvas
Head and shoulder portrait of a young man wearing armour
23.5 x 18.5in.
Estimate £500-800
Oil on canvas has been relined with a very thin canvas that (when held up to bright light) lets the light show through, so when held up to the light pin pricks and small holes show throughout, canvas remains tight, stretcher marks showing across the top and down the sides, otherwise a little dirty and would benefit from a clean. No sign of any signature and no inscriptions verso, housed in a beaded gilt frame which is a little tatty, thought to date to the 19th century.
