tom wesselmann
Tom Wesselmann (USA, Ohio 1931-2004 New York) 'Smoker Study (For Smoker #11)', 1972 Oil on canvas 29.2 x 29.2 cm (unframed) 46.4 x 46.4 x 3.8 cm (framed) Provenance: Estate of the Artist Examined by the WPI's Wesselmann committee on December 13, 2023 for inclusion in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné 'Smoker Study (For Smoker #11)', 1972 belongs to Tom Wesselmann’s Smoker series, which he started working on in the late 1960s. Wesselmann had been developing his 'Great American Nudes' series when he was inspired to focus on specific details of female figures. In a somewhat fetishizing act, he started making both smaller preparatory pieces as well as larger scale works depicting hands, breasts and lips. Out of this approach his 'Mouth' paintings and preparatory works were born.

Stéphane Renard Fine Art
sigismondo pandolfo malatesta
This vigorous graphite and stump drawing testifies to Ingres' interest in medals. Inspired by Pisanello's medal of Sigismund Malatesta, the great condottiere of Rimini, it bears witness to both Ingres' meticulous observation and his capacity for stylization, instilling in this drawing certain characteristic traits that we find in other works by the artist.

chen yanning
Chen Yanning (Guangzhou, 1945) Portrait of two cheerful girls, 1994 Oil on canvas 81 x 65 cm Provenance: commissioned via Portraits Inc., Park Avenue, New York; private collection, USA; private collection, Belgium Chen Yanning is internationally celebrated; his works have been shown at the Guggenheim, the Paris Salon and beyond. In 1999, he painted Queen Elizabeth II, a portrait so well-received that it was later chosen for a postage stamp to mark the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002. This tender and joyful portrait of two young sisters, commissioned in New York, is rendered with sparkling realism and warmth. The painting illustrates Yanning’s extraordinary international career and ability to infuse his portraits with life: a Chinese-born artist building a global reputation, bringing his distinctive sensitivity to subjects across cultures.

georges jacob
Georges Jacob (Cheny 1739-1814 Paris) Pair of bergères 'à la Reine' Carved and gilded wood France, Louis XVI period H 100 x W 69 x D 61 cm Stamped Georges Jacob Provenance: Jacques Perrin, Paris, 1997 Pair of carved and gilded wood Bergères with rounded backs, decorated with acanthus leaves and an interlacing frieze. Tapered and caned legs with gadroons. The arched crest surmounts padded armrests, the frames carved with guilloche patterns and foliage, resting on turned fluted legs, stamped G. Jacob. Georges Jacob, received as master on the 5Th of Jully 1765, is the most famous of all the 18th century French menuisiers. Unlike his colleagues, Jacob founded his company from scratch in 1765 and moved his workshops to Rue Meslée in 1775. This is where the most brilliant period of his career took place and where the major royal commissions were executed. From 1773 he had been solicited by the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, for which he continued to work until the Revolution. In addition to the Queen and, to a lesser extent, the King, his clientele included the main members of the royal family and his entourage. As ordinary carpenter to Monsieur, Count of Provence and brother of the King, the future Louis XVIII, he furnished most of his homes. He also provided the Count of Artois, another brother of the King and future Charles X, Madame Élisabeth, sister of Louis XVI, the Prince of Condé, the Duke of Penthièvre, the Duke of Bavaria and Deux-Ponts Charles-Théodore, etc.
