There are doubts about the authenticity of the work, 'Santos Adorando el Santísimo Sacramento’

A Goya painting has been withdrawn from auction following doubts about its authenticity. ‘Santos Adorando el Santísimo Sacramento’ had an opening price of 1.2 million € in the sale planned in Lamas Bolaño.

Adminstrator of the sale, Arturo Guinovart, said that there were doubts with respect to the painting’s authenticity.

The work measures 57 X 70 cms and is owned by a resident of Madrid. It was taken by the Historical Heritage unit of the Ministry of the Interior police last Friday, and it’s unknown how long their investigations will continue.

Can you help in gaining authenticity and possibly selling the painting in Spain.

Many regards
