The New Year’s Weekend Gallery Auction

In the early 18th century, Spanish master Francisco Goya created Los Caprichos, a satire of his contemporary society. Goya’s body of work was withdrawn from public sale and published as an album in 1799. Almost two centuries later, in the mid-1970s, Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí offered his interpretation of Goya’s work in the Los Caprichos de Goya by Dalí series. One hand-colored etching from the collection is highlighted in the New Year’s Weekend Gallery Auction presented by Leland Little Auctions.

The sale emphasizes antique furniture, both Continental and American, as well as fine art and prints. A 19th century yellow pine stepback cabinet is a key lot. The cabinet has a two-part form with a step-cut pediment on a flush molded base. Other notable furniture includes a late 20th century Chippendale-style porter’s chair and a Scottish George III linen press. Several pieces of fine art are also available. These include a hand-colored engraving by Johan Frederik Clemens, an oil painting titled Amaryllis by Bernique Longley, and a 1975 lithograph by Norman Rockwell.
