nicolas bertin
Nicolas Bertin (Paris, 1668-1736) Achilles entrusted by Thetis to the centaur Chiron, circa 1725 Oil on canvas 62 x 79.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Paris Literature: Thierry Lefrançois, Nicolas Bertin, 1668-1736, Paris, 1981 Nicolas Bertin has begun his career as a painter under the reign of Louis XIV and has ended it under Louis XV. He was part of this pivotal generation of 'Trianon painters' who switched from large historical painting, to smaller pictures – frequently easel paintings, which seduced a new generation of clients. Painting in the early years of the 18th century was ahead of the evolution of society, and it was only during the Regency that France freed itself from the rigorous artistic rules of the end of the reign of Louis XIV. The country undertook reforms and its morals evolved. It was just after this political and artistic revolution that Bertin painted this picture. The choice of theme itself is significant of lighter times: the nymph Thetis entrusts her son Achilles to the centaur Chiron.

alexander calder
Alexander Calder (Lawnton 1898-1976 New York) Untitled, 1967 Gouache on paper 77 x 110.5 Signed and dated N° Archive A18199 Provenance: private collection, Paris Calder's gouaches are spontaneous and simple, suffused with poetry. A poetry without artifice born from minimal means, such as elementary symbols, basic figures and a palette reduced to primary colours, arranged in solid colours that do not blend with each other. The gouaches are not that different from his "mobiles," except that here, the movement is imagined: a way of projecting time in space. In 1953, Calder moved to Saché where he created "la Gouacherie," where he made all his works on paper until 1976, as well as his mobiles and stabiles. "Alexander Calder possesses a clear gift of observation and the ability to draw a single stroke."
Zebregs&Röell Fine Art and Antiques
A Mammoth ivory figure of an African Amor Flanders or Southern Germany, 17th century H 17.3 cm Provenance: private collection, United Kingdom; with Peter Petrou, London This figure has many iconological meanings. With the bow and arrows, it is an Amor, but since the bow, the quiver of arrows and one single arrow are lying on the ground together with a shield, they may symbolise unsuccessful or fended-off love. The Amor playing with his penis and blowing a whirligig together may be symbols of the fickleness and transitoriness of love. The chain with a cross around his neck is a Roman Catholic symbol and may point to a Catholic country of origin, probably South Germany or Flanders.

adriaen van ostade
Adriaen van Ostade (Haarlem, 1610-1685) Interior of a barn with peasants-An allegory of smell Oil on panel 17 x 24 cm Signed and dated middle centre: Av ostade 1637 Provenance: private collection; Floris van Wanroij Fine Art; private collection, Remscheid, Germany Literature: Krol, A.E., Musée de l’Ermitage. Peinture de l’Europe occidentale. Leningrad (Hermitage), 1981, vol. II, p. 155 In his charming and amusing painting Adriaen van Ostade, like his contemporaries David Teniers the Younger and Adriaen Brouwer, depicted a scene from the everyday life of the peasant classes. At the same time it forms an allegory, that of the sense of smell. A variation on this composition by Van Ostade is kept in the collection of the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg (inv. n° 999)
Douwes Fine Art b.v.
Paul Delvaux (Antheit 1897-1994 Veurne) Portrait of a young woman, 1966 Pen and watercolour 17 x 12 cm Signed and dated: P.DELVAUX 24-12-1966 stuck on a sheet of paper filigree Wattman England. Provenance: Sale Auction house L’homme, Liège, 24 September 2016, cat. n° 40 Expertise: Certificate of authenticity of the Paul Delvaux Foundation, St-Idesbald, June 10, 2016 Notes In the work of Paul Delvaux we frequently find the female figure, a favorite subject of the artist. He stages the body of the women in antique setting or in scenes of everyday life. Often calm and mysterious, the women Delvaux focusses to represent are the reflection of the complex relationship that he maintains towards them. Indeed, already at a young age, the possessive and authoritarian mother of the artist warned him against women. Since then, the artist nurtured a fascination with the women he places on a pedestal. The woman represented in his work, are the image of his feminine ideal. Always young and beautiful, they are often naked, draped or preciously dressed. They symbolize the fascination and intrigue that Delvaux feels towards them and their bodies. The female figure occupies different roles in his work, from femme fatale to the mythological creature. In the present watercolour Delvaux integrates a contradictory image of the woman as being dangerous, free and independent but also valuable and untouchable. The chosen tones, from the aubergine color of the dress to the blue of the background, are very lively. Part of the bodice remained white, as well as the lighting in the upper left corner, which allows the chiaroscuro effect of the composition. In the same year as he made this drawing, he had a retrospective at the Lille Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Ixelles. A few years before, in 1959, he executed the mural decoration of the Palais des Congrès in Brussels and in 1965 he received the Five-Year Award for the dedication of his career and is appointed President and Director of the Class of Fine Arts of the Royal Academy of Belgium. Delvaux’s love life has not been without complication and this reflected in his art. When Delvaux fell in love with his first and great love Anne-Marie De Martelaere, known as Tam, at the age of thirty, the mother of Delvaux fiercely opposed this relationship, and he married someone else. This great sorrow of a lost love will permeate the image of the woman Delvaux depicts in his work: she is inaccessible and very often the man is excluded. At the death of his mother, the sadness felt by the artist is great but her death was also liberating for the future of his work. Delvaux now represents the woman in a much more libertine way. In 1947 he met Tam again in Sint-Idesbald. This chance meeting leads the two lovers to get married. The following decade will then mark a loss of creativity of the artist, his beloved imposes some constraints on Delvaux. He can no longer use models or represent them the way he desires. Later, Delvaux marries Suzanne Purnal and maintains a platonic love towards her.

An emblem of marine allegory, the sculpture depicts a daring Cupid, bravely sailing against the currents on a delicate shell-shaped craft. In a posture of determination, Cupid steers his boat with an oar while seated on a folded sail, which envelops an ink at his feet. This representation of the Cupid's determination to follow his own course and speed without wishing to stop may allude to the persistence of love against all odds. Designed in Rome in 1832, this exquisite marble sculpture was later exhibited, albeit unfinished, at the Petits-Augustins in Paris. It was finally presented in all its splendour at the Paris Salon the following year, where it attracted the attention of the famous Amsterdam banker, Monsieur Hoppe. Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay, better known as Jean De Bay, was born in Nantes on 31 August 1802. The son of a renowned sculptor and a pupil of Baron Bosio, De Bay quickly established himself as an emblematic figure of nineteenth-century French sculpture. After training at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1820, where he won numerous awards including the prestigious Prix de Rome, the sculptor succeeded in establishing himself in the art of bas relief and ronde bosse. Equally at ease working in marble and bronze, Jean De Bay contributed to numerous national projects, notably for the Louvre Palace and the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. Several of his works are also preserved at the Musée de Versailles. Many of his works can be found in various French museums, testifying to his artistic genius. This great sculptor died a few years later at his home in Paris on 7 January 1862.
