If you have noticed, this picture is fairly attributed. If it says "unknown artist" and all, then it would be and it was the work of an unknown artist. And such a thing as "circle" rather correctly assumes specific authorship. Given that the Dutch 17 th century, painting was a common profession, then this job could belong to the very brush and Leicester, and her pupil, and perhaps her husband, her friends, and even her maid ...
"Is the usual banal portrait of a lady"
I do not know whether you can even call banal, Dutch portrait, even if it is not Kranarh not Terborch and Van Dijke? A little more in my life to such platitudes may be living on another.
Frankly, the picture was brought from Europe, from Prague for resale, and was chosen sufficiently competent specialist in Dutch art. A was chosen this work as any product of value for money, knowing the quality of it as the artistic merits of this portrait. But beating a unspecified number of antique shops, none, I unfortunately did not offer a portrait of the Dutch 17 th century for 200 euros.
