Édouard Cortès was a Post-Impressionist artist recognized for his Parisian paintings. He was often called Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture (the Parisian Poet of Painting) for his affinity towards the city. Cortès frequently painted landscapes of Paris in various seasons and light conditions. Leland Little features Cortès’ Place Saint-Michel, Paris oil painting in the upcoming Important Spring Auction. The sale also showcases works by equine painter George Ford Morris, who created horse portraits for nearly seventy years.
Jewelry items such as platinum and diamond rings, gemstone brooches, bracelets, and earrings are also highlighted. Writer-turned-jewelry designer Elizabeth Locke was sent to Bangkok in the 1980s to cover a shopping story about custom jewelry. Mesmerized by the overall process, Locke enrolled herself at the Gemological Institute of America. Her travel and writing experience influenced the design of her Greek, Etruscan, and Roman-inspired jewelry pieces. Offered in this auction is a yellow gold hand-hammered necklace with cabochon ruby accents by Elizabeth Locke. Collectors can also explore Peter & William Bateman’s silverware, several pieces of furniture, a selection of Chanel handbags, and Chinese decorative arts.
