Description
An unsigned early, possibly 17th-century, oil on canvas titled "The Art Shop." The image depicts an artist or art dealer in 16th or 17th century Spanish garb displaying his wares for two gentleman customers. An assistant and two dogs are also present in the scene. Shelves and tables are filled with sculptures and other curios, and the walls are lined with portraits of nobility and dignitaries, including a cardinal and a pope, possibly Pope Innocent X. A portrait above the artist's left shoulder depicts the 1635 portrait of Pablo de Valladolid, a court fool of Philip IV, by artist Diego Velazquez, Spanish (1599-1660). The whole work is reminiscent of Velazquez' style, and other portraits resemble some of his pieces. The artist in the work itself may even be a representation of Velazquez.

What appears to be a large T-shaped tear, measuring approximately 10 inches horizontally and vertically, in the top right portion, has been expertly repaired. Unframed image measures approximately 39" x 50"€.
