Summary: When art dealer Jan Six saw the Portrait of a Young Gentleman in a Christie’s auction catalogue, he instantly knew that it could not possibly be a work that had been attributed to ‘the circle of Rembrandt’, but that the master must have painted it himself. The last time a hitherto unknown painting by Rembrandt was discovered was in 1974, when The Baptism of the Eunuch came to light. But how does one convince the world of such a discovery? Does something like an absolute eye exist? And how special is such a painting in comparison to all the other known works by the most famous Dutch painter? In this book Jan Six takes the reader on a compelling and erudite journey, all about his exciting discovery and a boy’s dream come true, showing the Portrait of a Young Gentleman through the eyes of his discoverer.
