Sale of the collection Fursac in Brussels, lot 105: Lucas de Heere, "Portrait of a noble lady", panel, 88*60cm, 14000Fr. Haven't found later images of this interesting work, which reminds me of works by Pieter Pourbus.

Ader just sold this "in the style of the 17th c." Flemish painting with an estimate of 300€, so naturally I bid on it. Wasn't the only one though to see the obvious quality here, ended at 1200€. Circle of Pieter Wouwerman. www.ader-paris.fr/en/lot/18480...

Won two perhaps nice lots, 6 old French Jules Vernes (to be seen how old exactly), and 6 very rare 19th c. Belgian Dutch Jules Vernes from Brussels (not from Elsevier or from the Ghent publishers one normally sees). Not present in National Library or Erfgoedbibliotheek apparently.

Sale of the collection Fursac in Brussels, lot 98: Francisco Guardi, "View of the Grand Canal in Venice", canvass, 44*69cm, 21000Fr. It's a variation on the Louvre painting (shown on the right), and as such harder to trace.

This probably isn´t a 1620 impression... Dimensions are correct, looks like an impression, but condition would be remarkable and paper is some kind of high quality cardboard I think? Still, at 3 Euro (charity shop) seemed worth buying.

I'm often baffled by paintings with wildly varying aristic quality. This Leda and the Swan has a quite well executed Leda, but then you look at the Cupid and have to wonder if someone else overpainted this or what? 500€, 45*56cm www.interencheres.com/art-decorati...
