Francesco and Omobono died in the late 1740s so it's not by them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germain Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 So I am guessing the person that bought it for 37K was trying to acquire proper attribution for 9 years. He/she could not and that's why decided to sell it- luckily with some profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
