English Heritage returns 450-year-old painting to Audley End following transformative restoration by conservators
- Having deteriorated over the centuries, mysterious unsigned painting known as The Vegetable Seller had been in storage for over 60 years
- New conservation work, technical analysis and research has identified the painting as dating from just before the Dutch Golden Age, much earlier than previously thought, and uncovered possible associations with 16th-century Antwerp painter, Joachim Beuckelaer (c.1535–75)
- We have taken the bold decision to remove the top section of the painting after uncovering it was a later addition to the artwork
- The painting will be on view to the public at Audley End House from today
