Show Rembrandt Unknown Panel Sold LONDON, England An un-' un-' known Rembrandt panel, probably prob-ably painted about 1035, was sold recently for $28,000. The painting is called "The Flight into Egypt" ; and was owned by Baron Clin-; Clin-; ton, 87, who decided to sell all ' his pictures when his North ' Devon home became an agricultural agricul-tural college, according to the l London Daily Herald. The auction drew art dealers i from all over Europe and the , United States. The panel was bought by a London dealer. The sale recalls another London Lon-don auction, in 1929, in which an "unknown" Rembrandt painting of a man in armor was sold for more than $79,000. It was owned by a woman who did not bother to attend the sale as she thought the painting would not bring more than about $2,500. The recently sold panel Is believed be-lieved to have been acquired by Lord Rolle, a predecessor of Baron Clinton. It was never lent for any public exhibition. The panel, measuring 20V4 by 10'A inches, contains Rembrandt's signature and a date, 1635 or 1638. v |
