In September 2019, Gossips reported about a painting, purchased by Albert Roberts for $600 at an auction in Kinderhook, that turned out to be a oil sketch by 17th-century painter Anthony van Dyke, a student of Rubens: "Hudson and the Dutch Golden Age." Today, there's an article about the painting in the Register-Star: "'Orphanage for abandoned art' yields masterpiece."
The painting, which is an oil sketch for Anthony van Dyke's c. 1620 painting of St. Jerome with an angel, is currently on display at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, where it will remain through August 22. After that, it will return to the Netherlands, to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, where the finished painting of St. Jerome hangs.
If you want to see the painting while it is still in this country, the Hyde Collection, located at 161 Warren Street in Glens Falls, is open Thursday through Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. The painting will be on display through August 22.
