A 400-year-old painting has been returned to a country house for the first time in 60 years.
The Dutch picture, known as The Vegetable Seller, which is by an unknown artist, was restored by conservators at English Heritage before being returned to the art collection at Audley End House in Essex.
The painting had been in storage since it was last on show there.

English Heritage said that new research on the picture had identified it “as dating from just before the Dutch Golden Age – much earlier than previously thought”.
