Russborough House has decided not to sell an important Rubens oil painting for which it obtained an export licence earlier this year.
The painting, titled "Portrait of a Monk, Bust-Length," was one of three by Rubens for which Russborough obtained an export licence on March 16th last. The other two are among a group of nine pictures from Russborough due to be auctioned at Christie’s in London in the coming weeks.
