A Rembrandt portrait will lead a London sale of a private collection of Dutch Old Masters that is valued at more than $30 million.
The panel painting “A Bust of a Man in a Gorget and Cap” has an upper estimate of 12 million pounds ($19 million), Christie’s International said today in an e-mailed release. The Caravaggio-influenced 1626-27 composition hasn’t been offered at auction for about 40 years and should fetch at least 8 million pounds on July 3, the company said.
