Gerard Ter Borch (Zwolle 1617 - Deventer 1681) Portrait of a Man with a Black Hat Around 1650 Oil on Oval Panel 19.9 × 16.5 cm Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681) was one of the most refined painters of the Dutch seventeenth century. Born in Zwolle, he received his first training from his father, Gerard ter Borch I, within a household where drawing and copying formed an essential part of daily artistic practice. Several of his siblings also became artists, contributing to a rich familial archive that documents the development of the Ter Borch workshop. After extensive travels through Amsterdam, Haarlem, London, Madrid and Münster, Ter Borch settled in Deventer, where he became a respected member of the city’s elite. Ter Borch is celebrated for his intimate genre scenes and portraits, distinguished by a subtle palette, delicate handling of light, and a keen sensitivity to gesture and expression. His paintings are marked by elegance, psychological depth, and exceptional technical skill, particularly in the rendering of skin and textiles. This portrait of a man wearing a black hat, painted on an oval panel, exemplifies these qualities. The sitter faces the viewer directly and meets our gaze with quiet self‑confidence, creating a sense of immediacy and silent dialogue. His restrained pose and understated attire suggest dignity without ostentation. The refined and harmonious colour scheme, composed of carefully balanced tones, is characteristic of Ter Borch’s portrait practice. The subtle fall of light gently models the face, giving the features clarity and depth without strong contrasts. The smooth surface of the panel enhances the precision of Ter Borch’s brushwork and contributes to the intimate character of the work. Rather than a display of status, the portrait becomes a concentrated study of presence and inner life. We are grateful to Marjorie Wieseman, who endorsed the attribution on the basis of a photograph, and to Guido Jansen, who confirmed the attribution after examining the painting in person.

Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928-1987 New York) Patty Raynes and son, 1985 Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 102 a 102 cm Signed on the reverse and dated 'Andy Warhol 85' Provenance: Patty Raynes, USA (1985 directly acquired from the artist); private collection, USA (2022 acquired from the above) In 1985, Patty Raynes commissioned two works, this one with a yellow background and a second one with a white background. ‘Patty Raynes and Son’ from 1985 is one of a series of portraits in which Warhol no longer exclusively depicted global celebrities, but increasingly portrayed members of his social environment - individuals whose social position exerted a symbolic aura, even if they remained outside the pop-cultural canon. Patty Raynes came from a respected family of American industrialists, socialite and daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, a fact that inevitably lends the work the character of a status portrait. Warhol, who was always concerned with the relationship between appearance and identity, addresses the portrait here as an expression of social affiliation. The subject, the depiction of a mother and child, is immediately reminiscent of the archetypal motifof the Madonna and Child. Warhol adopts this traditional pictorial form but transforms it into a contemporary icon: the sacred content isdisrupted by the screen-printing technique, giving the scene a cool, distanced character. Patty Haynes and son emerge from this mature period in Warhol’s oeuvre, when the artist extended his repertoire of subjects to include his panoply of famous friends, artists, actors, and socialites. A collection idolizing the who’s who of New York, Warhol intended for the 40 by 40-inch series to be exhibited together in a “Portrait of Society,” a dream eventually realized at the artist’s retrospective Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2018.

Master of Torcello Venetian Master active in the second half of the XV century. Crucifix. popolar wood with polychromy. Higth cm 40 x 38 x 3,5 An exceptional masterpiece of the Venetian Renaissance, this small, carved, polychrome wooden Crucifix is certainly attributable to the Master of Torcello, active in Venice in the second half of the 15th century. Work created for private use and devotion, certainly to be included in an "Altarolo", but absolutely similar to the larger known Crucifixes of the same manufacture, such as the one on the island of Torcello (Venice) in the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta.
