19th Century European Art including Orientalist Art

The sale of 19th Century European Art including Orientalist Art achieved a total of £5,071,100 / $7,839,921 / €6,272,951

Alexandra McMorrow, Senior Director, International Department Head, 19th Century European Art: “This sale saw strong international bidding on the top lots with particular interest in the beautiful Spanish paintings by Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. The Marc and Victoria Sursock collection of Orientalist paintings and drawings performed very well with the works by Edwin Lord Weeks of India achieving strong results. Eugene Delacroix’s study for his Apollo ceiling in the Louvre-Paris fetched a world record price for an oil sketch by the artist. We are also delighted that the View of Cleves by B. C. Koekkoek was purchased by the Museum Haus Koekkoek and will be the main attraction in their upcoming exhibition commemorating  the 150 year anniversary of his death. We look forward to the next sale of ‘19th Century European Art’ on 21 June in Paris, 29 October in New York and 21 November in London.”
