In any case they have concluded that this painting, though dated on stylistic grounds to the same period, was not by the same hand. It is possible that this painting was produced in Antwerp, which became the primary center to order an "Adoration of the Kings" and this could be one of many studies for the magi Balthazar. On this basis it has recently been attributed to Jacob Jordaens and Jan Boeckhorst. Because of the various disagreements in the scholarship, Sotheby's kept the "mid 17th-century Flemish School" attribution given in the 2008 exhibition Black is beautiful: Rubens tot Dumas. * Portrait of Don Miguel de Castro, Emissary of Congo * His servant holding a box of beads * His servant holding an elephant tusk (en) |
