Sotheby’s Russian Pictures sale on 27 November features a selection of museum-quality paintings, led by Konstantin Makovsky’s magnificent Blind Man’s Buff. Several works appear on the market for the first time: Georgian Woman Wearing a Lechaki by Niko Pirosmani, Portrait of Leo Tolstoy by Ilya Repin, not seen in public since it was exhibited at the Repin exhibition in New York in 1921, and Alexander Kuprin’s Autumn Bouquet Against a Blue Background.
