Never trust any museum attribution at face value!

What you're looking for is acquisition date (and possibly any earlier documented provenance). Even this needs to be checked since mix-ups do happen.

Anything else needs to be viewed in the light of the expertise of the person proposing any attribution (if relevant for the given piece!).

Looks like a promising older example though. Thanks, Wayne!

Regards,
Kai
