<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam Hills, post: 3351326, member: 17876&quot;]Fid, moreotherstuff, Bronwen, bluumz &amp; Debora,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you so much for your feedback!</p><p><br /></p><p>I searched a little more and I stumbled across two paintings that are almost identical in setting, style, colours.. claimed to be 17th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please see the two attached paintings and links.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know nothing about paintings and valuations but I was surprised to see the price of 400-500 EUR (with frame!), given the age and historical value. The price seems quite low considering what it would have cost to make this back then; I assume it would have consisted of at least 15 hours of skilled labor and material... It sure didn&#039;t gain much value over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Makes you wonder wether this category of antique paintings (the low-middle end) is worth buying at all from an investment point of view. Considering also the time it will take to research and sell it, the shipping and broker fees, I may be at a loss already without having bought this piece!</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, the research is fun and you learn a lot along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.richardmdv.com/lot/23767/5053282?fbclid=IwAR3VC_9H9iOUWdKDCH6r-KZeb7mvAo03Z_F_TPFcfawH4lTA1R9BHgAjJGY" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.richardmdv.com/lot/23767/5053282?fbclid=IwAR3VC_9H9iOUWdKDCH6r-KZeb7mvAo03Z_F_TPFcfawH4lTA1R9BHgAjJGY" rel="nofollow">https://www.richardmdv.com/lot/23767/5053282?fbclid=IwAR3VC_9H9iOUWdKDCH6r-KZeb7mvAo03Z_F_TPFcfawH4lTA1R9BHgAjJGY</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.auction.fr/_fr/lot/ecole-flamande-du-xvii-eme-siecle-marie-madeleine-huile-sur-cuivre-22-x-18-cm-15838838?fbclid=IwAR3xjuWUZpmdTsunY8qv83P1d5PQlbD6GmcTAQmm05mLdPltNr-kkNmoox4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.auction.fr/_fr/lot/ecole-flamande-du-xvii-eme-siecle-marie-madeleine-huile-sur-cuivre-22-x-18-cm-15838838?fbclid=IwAR3xjuWUZpmdTsunY8qv83P1d5PQlbD6GmcTAQmm05mLdPltNr-kkNmoox4" rel="nofollow">https://www.auction.fr/_fr/lot/ecole-flamande-du-xvii-eme-siecle-marie-madeleine-huile-sur-cuivre-22-x-18-cm-15838838?fbclid=IwAR3xjuWUZpmdTsunY8qv83P1d5PQlbD6GmcTAQmm05mLdPltNr-kkNmoox4</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
