I'm expecting an expert appraisal this week. Since 2002, it's been valued at 600 to 1000 euros as a third-rate commercial painting, so no judge has considered it property, but rather as worthless and 18th-century. So, not my idea: Israeli Byzantine secret knight order school, 16th or 15th century. I took a good photograph of the monogram and gave it to a friend for safekeeping. I'll pick it up today.
