Lot 28

Description

Follower of Cornelis van Poelenburgh, 
Dutch 1594 / 95-1667- 

Study of a female nude on one knee, from behind; 

oil on canvas laid down on board, 25 x 21.3 cm. (unframed). 

Note: 
This unfinished study is reminiscent of van Poelenburgh's sensitively painted female nudes, which are characterised by a soft and delicate shading which imparts his figures with a palpable sense of depth and presence. Indeed, the position of the present figure bears a striking similarity to that of a nymph in van Poelenburgh's 'Italianate landscape' which sold at Bonhams, London, on 5 July 2006, lot 94.

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.
