Ask anything

Shaun Lavelle asked

Hi, I have this painting also?! Can I send you pictures? Could he have painted two versions?
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Shaun, in theory it is possible that Jan de Braij painted two versions of the portrait. More likely, however, is that you own a reproduction of the work. Please check the materials - or have them checked by an expert (dealer or auction house). Kind regards, Els
