Fragment of an antiphonary page with illuminated initial, parchment, Europe, 15th century
The fragment of the page visible within the frame is entirely occupied by a historiated initial "O". The figural scene within depicts a haloed youth dressed in secular attire giving alms to an old beggar supported by crutches. He is accompanied by a young woman and an older man, with urban architecture visible in the background.
The reverse side features a fragment of Latin liturgical text written in Gothic minuscule and musical notation using square neumes (predecessors of notes used in medieval Europe) on a four-line staff, characteristic of Gregorian chant. The presence of the formula "Euouae" (a notation of vowels from the phrase saeculorum Amen), typical of psalm endings in antiphonal arrangement, allows identification of the notation as a fragment of an antiphon. The page also features a decorative initial "O" beginning a new antiphon.
The page is framed in a 19th-century gilded frame with a gently curved upper edge.
An object of extraordinary aesthetic and collectible value. A great rarity on the market!
John Baptist Lambrechts (1680 – after 1731), Genre scene in an inn, oil on board, ca. mid-18th century.
An intimate genre scene, attributed to Flemish painter John Baptist Lambrechts. The center of the depiction is formed by three figures: a woman in a red skirt and green kaftan with a distinctive white scarf around her neck, a man in a red cap and a woman standing behind, who participates in the conversation. Next to her stands a set table, covered with a colorful cloth, on which the white shawl - a hallmark of inn scenes by Lambrechts - could not be missing. A gesticulating man addresses a woman who, with a glass in her hand, looks calmly at the viewer. On her shoulders is a white shawl tied over her breasts: an element characteristic of Lambrechts' painting, present in almost all his depictions of women.
The painting betrays the characteristics of a good painter's workshop such as skillfully developed chiaroscuro, the way of depicting the details of fabrics and tableware attest to the artist's technical maturity. The composition is static, but full of subtle emotional tensions.
Nathan Gutman (1914 Warsaw – 1990 Paris), Female Nude, oil on cardboard, Paris (?)
The painting depicts a nude woman in a semi-recumbent position on a bed or sofa; she supports her body with one hand and holds the other behind her head. The figure of the model, the piece of furniture and a small picture in the upper left corner (with a vase of flowers) were painted with a black outline, contrasting with a multicolored background composed of saturated patches of color in various shades of red, yellow, blue and green. The intense color palette clearly refers to the aesthetics of fauvism. The lower left corner bears Gutman's signature. All framed in a contemporary frame.
