Adam de Coster (Dutch, 1585/86 – 1643) painted this extraordinary portrait of a young woman illuminated by candlelight. This oil-on-canvas work measures 52 3/4 by 37 3/8 inches (134 by 94.9 cm), and it goes to auction at Sotheby’s, New York, on 25 January 2017, with an estimate of 1,500,000 — 2,000,000 USD. UPDATE: This master portrait sold for 4,850,000 USD, a new record for this artist, and more than twice it’s high estimate.
