Vincenzo Raffaelli (Rome, 1783-1865) Round table, circa 1835-1845 Various coloured pebbles and marbles Tabletop: ⌀ 91.2 cm - 5.2 cm Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in coloured marbles 'pebble' samples 200 ca. The round top in coloured marble that we are dealing with, is a real 'pebble' sample made of ancient 'excavation' marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.

Gabrielle Montald (born Canivet) (Brussels, 1867-1942) Decorative bird, 1929 Gouache and ink over gold ground on paper 61.5 x 46 cm (sheet) 64 x 48 cm (framed) Signed and dated lower right ‘G. Montald 29’ Provenance: private collection, Belgium Related works: Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called 'Oiseau décoratif series' occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 'Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris', where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre, including her textiles and bookbindings, is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

Gerard Ter Borch (Zwolle 1617-1681 Deventer) Portrait of a man with a black hat, circa 1650 Oil on oval panel 19.9 x 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. The gallery is 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.

EOS Ring Inspired by Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. She who brings the first light of day, casting a golden glow across the horizon before the world awakens. A symbol of renewal, radiance, and quiet transformation. Crafted in sandblasted 18kt yellow gold, the ring carries a soft, sunlit warmth. Its matte surface evokes the first rays of morning light diffused through the atmosphere - gentle, luminous, and timeless. Rather than reflecting light sharply, the gold seems to hold it within, creating a subtle glow that feels both ancient and contemporary. At its centre rests an elongated, natural, step-cut diamond. Surrounding white diamonds accentuate the composition, enhancing the contrast between the softness of the gold and the crystalline purity of the central stone.

Farah Atassi (Brussels, 1981) The Shadow, 2026 Oil on canvas 195.3 x 114.3 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', 26 June-31 July 2026, Almine Rech New York 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne - the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo - comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolised. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.
