$850.00 AUD
‘Drunken Silenus supported by Satyrs’, after Van Dyck’s 1620 painting now in the National Gallery, London.
Miniature on ivory, finely painted & framed in a double ormolu frame with red velvet ground.
Stamp to the back “Vom Bundesdenkmalamt zur Ausfuhr freigegeben” around a central Austrian Eagle,
translation: “Approved for export by the Federal Monuments Office of Austria”
Circa 1890
This stamp was used in the 1918-34 period, when Austria forbid the export of ‘Works of Art’ without a permit; this stamp is the ‘permission to export’.
The original Old Master this was copied from has been a part of the National Gallery’s collection in London since 1871. It originally came from the collection of Rubens, from his studio, and is described as ‘Possibly Van Dyck’.
