"Rare and Forgotten Rembrandt Portraits Unearthed for Auction"

Two rare Rembrandt portraits, signed and dated in 1635, have been rediscovered after almost two centuries by a British auctioneer during a routine valuation of a family's private art collection. The oval-shaped oil portraits depict a wealthy elderly couple in Leiden, Netherlands, who were linked to the painter through their son, who had married into Rembrandt's family. The paintings are expected to fetch an estimated $6.25 million to $10 million at auction in London after being displayed in New York and Amsterdam in June.
