As a wee answer to bigwull just some advice . As a former victim off traffic taken out off my car with a severe brain damage and some broken bones and classified as a invalid in 1994 . It has never taken away my positive thinking with buying and selling antiques or art or electronics's what's my daily time occupation now to avoid being bored and depressed . What also means that I do know what could bring a decent return on my bought items .
When it comes to this picture it's only to pin it to a certain member off this family and it's closing down to this Baron Riemsdyk and his family now . There where no other members off this family who where allowed this title . And trust me that it's a real painting and not a print on canvas like been mentioned . Even with the UV light (paint reflex's) it's okay and shows the repairs made on the canvas before it's been put to the wooden frame . There's also no pieces been cut of the painting from original and the holes off the nails are there carefully painted in with colour . So the restorer even took the trouble to keep it as made instead off cutting the nasty bits and sides off the painting .
Second fact would be a simple one because why make a copy as a canvas print from a artist that is almost unknown as a very good painting artist ? Who would even buy this copy ?
So when it will be establish t as being painted by the real Baroness who ever she was then it will be a good return if I would decide to sell ( And it's in the room now and I think I like the girl and the way she looks to me ......Must be the mid-life crisis kicking in
