Rembrandt drawing
(CNN)A chalk drawing of a dog has been identified as a work by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, after it spent almost 250 years mistakenly credited to a German painter.
Professor Thomas Doring, the museum's curator of prints and drawings, was first alerted to the error two years ago while cataloging the museum's 10,000 drawings for a digital archive.
Old sketch is da Vinci worth $16M, retired doctor is told
"It's been on display for decades under the name of Johann Melchior Roos," he told CNN, "so the idea that this could be a Rembrandt was never considered copy Van Cleef ring before.
"But the boldness of the strokes, the variations in the shading from very gentle to quite violent and the expressive gaze [of the dog] these are very typical idiosyncrasies of Rembrandt's work."
Doring said his experience cataloging drawings by Rembrandt and his pupils during an earlier project Van Cleef & Arpels ring imitation was key to the discovery.
"I was used to looking out for the differences between Rembrandt's work and drawings by other artists," he explained.
To find out whether his suspicions were correct, he visited Vienna, Amsterdam and Paris, studying Rembrandt drawings and enlisting the help of other Rembrandt experts.
This drawing of a lion (1650 1959), belonging to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is one of the few surviving animal studies by Rembrandt van Rijn.
He said the response to his painstaking work had been unanimously positive.
"Two of the three leading scholars of Rembrandt's drawings told me they were fully convinced Van Cleef ring fake that this is a Rembrandt," he said. "Since then, the third has contacted me to say he also has no doubts."
