The Greatest Hollywood Movie Memorabia Auction

Very early on Debbie Reynolds had the foresight to collect items of movie memorabilia. As a result she has amassed an incredible collection.

It included this seascape by Rembrandt--the only one he is known to have painted--along with two other works as well as those by Vermeer, Degas and Chinese bronzes.
