Lot 3

Description

Follower of Guido Reni, 
Italian 1575-1642- 

The Penitent Mary Magdalene; 

oil on canvas, bears old wax collector's stamp, indistinctly showing a crowned, double-headed eagle, verso, 37.5 x 30 cm. 

Provenance: 
Private Collection, UK. 

Note: 
The present work appears to be influenced by Reni's dramatic depictions of Mary Magdalene, defined by their sharp contrast of light and shade, with the figure of the penitent Magdalene in the present work variously recalling Reni's paintings of the same subject, including one in the Palazzo Barberini in Rome [1437], and another in the collection of the National Gallery, London [NG177]. 
The indistinct collectors' seal on the reverse appears to show the outline of a double-headed eagle with a coronet above, which may relate to the crest of the Habsburg family, a royal dynasty of prolific art collectors. 

Buyer's Premium

The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 26% up to £20,000 (31.2% inclusive of VAT), 25% from £20,001 - £500,000 (30% inclusive of VAT), 20% from £500,001 thereafter (24% inclusive of VAT). The premium price is subject to VAT at the standard rate.

VAT
VAT is not charged on the hammer price unless it is stated that there is 'VAT applicable on the hammer price at the end of the description. Buyer's premium is subject to VAT.
