Of course in the US they'd have arrested the gallery director for even submitting the proposed ad...

The style of the picture looks like a Cranach Elder, but the face especially is less "finished" than his usual (of the ones I've seen). The pose resembles the Elder's couple of "Lucretia Borgia" paintings, so it's likely authentic enough. Too bad these poster people never credit the owners so you can check out the details with the museums.

Good find. Now I'll have to do some more research.

I've got Cranach Elder notes on about 27 "Venus" paintings, 6 "Lucretias," and about 20 "Eves" that look like the old guy only had one model during his entire career. I guess painting a picture that people like is sort of a curse, because the artist is stuck¹ with doing reproductions and variations forever.

¹ You've probably heard what "Sin" did to Stuck?
