A Woman Borne Off By A
Sea God (?) Print
£20.000
The precise subject of this classical marine study has not been identified. It is the working cartoon for a fresco in the Gallery of the Palazzo Farnese, Rome. All the early sources attribute it to Agostino. The cartoon is thought to be in large part or possibly entirely by Agostino. Some changes between the cartoon & the fresco are probably due to Annibale Carracci, by whom there are studies for the triton on the right. Another cartoon in the collection, ' Cephalus carried off by Aurora in her Chariot' was designed for the same project. ...

A Woman Drinking Print
A Woman Drinking Print
£20.000
The Woman drinking is likely to be Sophonisba, a Carthaginian whose husband sent poison to her so that she would be able to kill herself rather than be taken into slavery. She was celebrated in Livy's ' History of Rome' (30: 15) & Petrarch's ' Triumph of Love'. Alternatively the woman might be Artemesia, the devoted wife & sister of Mausolus, Prince of Caria in the 4th century BC. After his death, she drank his ashes mingled with wine. This panel & ' The Vestal Virgin Tuccia with a sieve' are obviously related despite their differing size & being lit from opposite directions. They are painted in simulation of gilt bronze against a fictive background of coloured marble. Isabella d' Este had a 'feigned bronze' picture by Mantegna in her studiolo, & these may have been for a similar interior. ...

The woman's features are not sufficiently individualised for this to be a portrait, nor is it likely to be an allegory of Pride (' Superbia'), since the woman does not admire her features in the mirror. Instead, it may be a 'vanitas' (a picture symbolising ...

Parsnips, With A
Child Standing By
Her Print
£20.000
During the years 1654-59 Maes painted small-scale genre paintings showing simple domestic scenes. These employ a restricted palette dominated by browns & reds & a rich 'chiaroscuro' (Italian for light-dark, meaning the balance of light & shadow), reflecting the training Maes had with Rembrandt in Amsterdam in the years around 1650. After 1660 Maes devoted himself exclusively to portraiture. On loan to the exhibition ' Rembrandt? The Master & his Workshop' at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen from February to May 2006. ...

A Woman Playing A Lute To Two Men Print

The painting is anecdotal in character, with two men present, one singing to the accompaniment of the theorbo. The association between music and love is a frequent subject in Dutch genre painting. Here, as in many of ter Borch's pictures, the relationship between the figures is deliberately ambiguous. The viewer is invited to decide whether is is just a happy domestic scene, or possibly a scene taking place in brothel. Though influenced by the work of Metsu, the painting is more elaborate in composition and psychological resonance than comparable paintings by Metsu. Judging from the style and the fashionable clothes, the painting is probably a relatively late work, dating from the late 1660s.
