Provenance: The Collection of Nel and Gerrit Jape; by descent in family
Note: Brunk Auctions would like to thank Dr. Suzanne Laemers, Curator of Early Netherlandish Painting, RKD, The Hague for her assistance with this painting. She states this Virgin and Child composition "is a typical 'in between painting': it shows stylistic and compositional characteristics of several artists such as the Master with the Parrot, the Master of the Female Half-Lengths, the Master of the Prodigal Son and even Joos van Cleve. Obviously, in the mid-16th century in the Southern Netherlands there was a market for compositions showing a tender Mary with a playful child on her lap. There are many examples of paintings tending to multiple artists. I would suggest an attribution to an anonymous artist working in the circle of the Master with the Parrot and the Master of the Female Half-Lengths, around 1530-1550.
Condition
