ORIGINAL OIL ON OLD WOODEN PANEL, 13 X 16 1/2, CIRCA 1650,  SHOWN TO  SOTHEBYS, THEY SAID IT LOOKED GOOD BUT BECAUSE HE DID DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF THE SAME WORK, IT SHOULD  BE SENT TO EUROPE FOR MORE INFORMATION.  WE HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT MANY ITEMS SENT TO EUROPE, NEVER COME BACK. SO IT WAS DECIDED TO KEEP IT AND SELL IT PRIVATELY AT A DISCOUNT. IT IS RARE TO FIND AN ORIGINAL PAINTING BY ONE OF THE GREAT DUTCH MASTERS.
