After a curtain-raiser featuring engravings by Giovanni Battista Piranese, a Concert sur une terrasse attributed to Pieter de Hooch will fetch €30,000/40,000, a Villa campagnarde devant une rivière attributed to Jacques-Guillaume Van Blarenberghe €5,000/6,000, the portrait of a Grey Horse to the right in a meadow (circa 1835-1840) by the genre's specialist, Alfred de Dreux, €20,000/30,000. Also on display are a panel by Eugène Boudin circa 1890, Le Havre, bassin Delavigne (€35,000/50,000), a portrait of the ship l'Algésiras in the Bay of Naples by Tommaso de Simone (€1,000/2,000), and an etching and aquatint of a sleeping kitten by Léonard Foujita from the album Les Chats , 1929 (€3,000/6,000). In the showcases, we'll be looking at a neglected necklace by Cartier, composed of small woven pearls or cultured pearls decorated with sugar loaf turquoise in a setting of rose-cut diamonds (€15,000/20,000), a terracotta bust of a young woman with opulent curly hair by Jean-Baptiste Defernex, once part of the collection of architect Michel Roux-Spitz (€6,000/8,000). From the Venetian school of the mid-18th century, a pair of busts (attributed to Giovanni Marchiori), in white marble, once owned by Jean-Jacques Fernier and preserved by his descendants, illustrate Winter and Spring (as a buxom female figure wearing flowers and an old man wrapped in a cloak) (€10,000/15,000).
