Sotheby's Auction

A few weeks ago several Art Renewal Center people met in New York to view some 19th century paintings being auctioned off later that week. There was a lot of amazing stuff to be seen there including some artists I had not been aware of. Here are a few highlights of what I saw there.


A Water Nymph, Leon-Jean-Bastile Perrault, 1898



The FLying CLoud, Montague Dawson



Awaiting His Return, Hans Andreas Dahl



View of a Fjord, Adelsteen Normann



The Hesitant Betrothed, Auguste Toulmouche, 1866



The Jolly Boat, Albert Lynch



Her First Place, George Dunlop Leslie



The Soap Bubbles, Charles Chaplin



Femme Au Coquillage, William Bouguereau, 1885



Young Roman Water Carrier, Diogene-Uylsse-Napoleon Maillart

2 Comments:

  • Do you happen to know if "Femme Au Coquillage" will appear in ARC's catalog raissonne on Bouguereau? (Seems like it should be).

  • I would assume so. It should have every known Bouguereau in it and that's definitely a well-known painting.
