AUCTION DETAILS
The paintings and sculpture featured in the sale cover all schools in Europe, from the 14th to the 19th centuries. A strong group of Dutch Golden Age pictures is led by a group from the Estate of Bernard Palitz, including works by Jacob Linthorst and Pieter Claesz as well as Alexandre-François Desportes. Other highlights include paintings by Jan van Goyen, Alessandro Turchi, Hubert Robert, and François Boucher. The sculpture section is particularly strong in Italian Renaissance and French 18th century works of art. One of the highlights of sculpture is an exceptional terracotta group of a Bacchant and Three Bacchantes by Clodion.
