1 ANTWERP SCHOOL, 16TH CENTURY Christ as the man of sorrows oil on panel, unframed 15 x 111⁄2 in. (38.1 x 29.2 cm.) The present lot is possibly a fragment of a larger devotional piece with The Mater Dolorosa to Christ’s left, with a small part of her white veil showing by the right edge of the panel. To Christ’s right is presumably St John the Baptist. It can be compared to a work by the Master of the Holy Blood (active c.1530) recorded by the RKD, no. 33693. £3,000-£5,000
