Portrait of Bonne of Artois

Portrait of Bonne d'Artois, Duchess of Burgundy, half-length, in a red fur-lined coat and a white headdress, oil on panel. Extract of Christie's notice : According to Max J. Friedländer (Early Netherlandish Painting, I, ed. N. Veronee-Verhaegen, Leyden, 1967, p. 66), a sixteenth-century portrait formerly in the Gemäldegalerie der Staatlichen Museen, Berlin-Dahlem, which coincides precisely with a drawing in the Arras Codex, Bibliothèque municipale, Arras, would appear to be the closest interpretation of the lost original. The present painting appears to derive from that early copy." Other copies : 3 paintings : (1) Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, Inventar-Nr. 528C, (2) Museo de Cádiz, Inventario CE20301; (3) Lisbon, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga; 1 drawing in the Recueil d'Arras (Médiathèque d'Arras, Ms 266 fol.62).
