Summary/Abstract: Held in the Kadriorg Art Museum and the Mikkel Museum, the Art Museum of Estonia’s collection of the Low Countries comprises approximately 100 paintings, predominantly of the 17th-century Dutch school. Extensive research has shown that almost half of the collection consists of works either authored by unknown masters, based upon the motifs found in the paintings of famous artists, or that have turned out to be either copies or forgeries of well-known Dutch masterpieces.
