European & British Art 8–14 December 2022 • 3:00 PM GMT • London

O ur winter sale includes drawings, watercolours and oil paintings by artists working in Britain and mainland Europe spanning two centuries. From the intimate Danish interiors of Carl Holsøe to the Parisian elegance of Jean Béraud's street scene and Laura Knight’s depictions of backstage life, the human figure is shown in animated activity. Courbet and Corot’s powerful French landscapes are atmospheric and tranquil whilst Fillipo Palizzi captured the spirit of wild horses and Arthur Elsley charms us with childhood. We hope that you will join us to see the pictures in our pre-sale exhibition and in the meantime you can explore more online here.
