NEW VERSION OF PAINTING DISCOVERED


ThirdStone exclusive news flash:

A photo of a second, previously unknown version of a well-known family portrait painting by Flemish Renaissance Painter, Michel Sittow was released today by ThirdStone Associate International Curator, Telpo Lendolotoproj... Mr. Lendolotoproj's speculation is that it was made by the artist as a sarcastic lampoon of what might be assumed to have been 'difficult' clients. Decidedly NOT 'tongue-in-cheek' by any means.

The painting was discovered in a root cellar in the basement of a flower shop located in a several hundred year old building in Istanbul. Found by workmen who had been called to fix a leaking gas pipe when one of the men lost his footing and slipped on the wet floor, subsequently falling against a rotted wood panel covering a long-unused alcove in the basement wall.
