The auction house believes this to be the highest sum ever paid for an artwork at a Maine auction. Thomaston Place Auction GallerieLost from the recordsRembrandt scholar Gary Schwartz said a potential buyer had earlier sought his opinion on the Maine portrait. 03:09 - Source: CNNArt historian Volker Manuth, who authored publisher Taschen’s 2019 monograph “Rembrandt: The Complete Paintings,” told CNN he was also approached by a potential buyer of the Maine portrait. But inclusion in a major catalog, or the backing of a big auction house, can increase a painting’s value manyfold. Schwartz suggested that, should the Maine portrait receive similar endorsement, it might be revalued at up to $5 million.

The dramatic change in value came about only because some experts decided the painting was by Rembrandt. Reattributed to da Vinci, it sold in 2013 for $83 million and then again for $127.5 million. “Adoration,” thought to have been painted around 1628, has at various times in its 400-year life been viewed as a work by Rembrandt. Three years later, it was offered for sale by Sotheby’s as a Rembrandt but went unsold. In 1985, the painting came back on the market, at Christies, and this time it was sold — but only as a work from the “circle” of Rembrandt.
