Rembrandt’s ‘Portrait Of A Man’ Sold To Casino Mogul Wynn

-

In September we told you about Rembrandt’s legendary ‘Portrait of a Man’ would be going under the hammer. Well, it did last week. And the new and extremely proud owner of this materpiece is none other than the casino mogul Steve Wynn. From what we hear, he splurged a huge and record $33.2 million at the grand auction hosted by Christie’s in London last week. Let us remind you that this painting dates back to 1658 and has the portrait of a man, half-length with his arms akimbo.

An insider told us that Mr. Wynn made the winning big over the teleophone. Though Wynn has not officially revealed that he was the winning buyer but there has been serious speculation more so after NY Times reported that he had consulted many art dealers and scholars to check their opinions of the piece before the sale.

Most of us are quite sure as far as Wynn is concerned because he is quite and art afficionado and already possess pieces by Rubens, Vermeer and Cezanne. Not just that, he also owns a Picasso masterpiece, Le Reve.

The print isn't so fine on the fake, on the M bellow the 1 it should have ribs down the middle but the fake some of them are missing.  Bottom of the boxes (fake left - Gen right) has a different layout and the stamped serial number is a bit clearer on the original one.  Tops of the boxes, the PR on the fake isn't quite straight   The backs (fake left - original right) once again different lay out but like I said I'm not sure if this is just an old reused box or a fake one!  Front of the actual bottles. As you can see there is a color difference, the fake has a rosey tinge to the gold where as the real one looks like a lig
