Justus Juncker (1703-1763, Germany) Attributed to

Scholar Sharpening His Quill Penn

Expertise: We would like to thank Dr. Fred G Meijer for his valuable knowledge in researching this painting.
His conclusion as follows: The painting of an old scholar sharpening his pen, in my opinion, is a characteristic work of Justus Juncker (Mainz 1703 – 1767 Frankfurt am Main). Scholars in their study were a favourite subject of the artist, for instance "Alchemist in his study, sold at Lempertz) and (Dorotheum lot 310, 2020-11).
Obviously, Juncker was much inspired by Dutch paintings from the seventeenth century.
