Fine Paintings, Sculpture & Decorative Arts

The upcoming Fine Paintings, Sculpture & Decorative Arts auction, presented by DuMouchelles, will include fine art, furniture, jewelry, sculpture, rugs, and more. Occupying the top lot of the sale is an oil painting created by Neoclassical painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. The piece, titled Petites Maraudeuses, depicts two sisters escaping with a basket of stolen apples. The older sister can be seen gently helping the younger one off a wall. 

Another highlight of the sale is a bronze fountain raised on a two-tiered base with a shell motif along the top edge. It depicts the “Three Graces,” who have putto at their feet and a floral garland cascading between them. The figures together hold a large scalloped shell above their heads. Also among the notable lots is a 19th century English ebonized curio Wedgwood, a 0.55 carat solitaire diamond ring, and a Persian pure silk carpet with a floral motif. A vintage three-piece drum set by Leedy and Ludwig and a blue porcelain duck figurine by Herend will be presented as well. The duck figurine has a fish scale pattern accented by a gold beak.
