Special notice

Christie's charges a Buyer's premium calculated at 23.205% of the hammer price for each lot with a value up to €110,000. If the hammer price of a lot exceeds €110,000 then the premium for the lot is calculated at 23.205% of the first €110,000 plus 11.9% of any amount in excess of €110,000. Buyer's Premium is calculated on this basis for each lot individually.

Lot Essay

The present lot has traditionally been attributed to Hans Reynout, on the basis of the monogram. A Hans Reynout, painter from Brussels, is known to have been active in Frankenthal in circa 1573/85, however, no paintings are known by this artist, preventing a secure attribution.
