Our picture is painted on a Baltic oak panel from a tree whose last recorded growth ring is 1600 and was, therefore, felled some time between 1609 and 1618. Prof. Dr. Peter Klein of the University of Hamburg suggests that the panel would probably have been ready by 1617, so it is most likely to be co-eval with the dated version mentioned above, at the very latest. 4 | BONHAMS 5 5 FOLLOWER OF CORNELIS MASSYS (ANTWERP 1510-CIRCA 1556) Two hermit monks in a landscape oil on panel 37.5 x 51.5cm (14 3/4 x 20 1/4in). £4,000 - 6,000 €5,600 - 8,400 6 CIRCLE OF FRANS FLORIS THE ELDER (ANTWERP CIRCA 1519-1570) Head of a woman oil on panel 46.7 x 34.4cm (18 3/8 x 13 9/16in). £3,000 - 5,000 €4,200 - 7,000 6 OLD MASTER PAINTINGS | 5 7 7 CIRCLE OF JASPER VAN DER LANEN (ANTWERP CIRCA 1592-CIRCA 1629) A wooded landscape with a stag hunt oil on copper 19.9 x 25.9cm (7 13/16 x 10 3/16in).
