Loose, without matting. Body of Christ lying on the ground, his head resting on the Vrigin, supported by another Mary; with St. John holding Christ?s left hand and displaying its wound to St. Mary Magdalene. Stunning and very rare. Suitable for framing. Lairesse (1641-1711), born in Liege, second son of painter Renier. Known for a facial deformity (some will state syphilis), Rembrandt?s portrait of Gerard at age 25, is a famous one. He was influenced by Rembrandt, and later French neo-classical. In 1690, he lost his sight and concentrated on art theory. A draughtsman, theatrical designer, writer, and theoretician, he is best known as the celebrated Dutch painter in the years to follow Rembrandt?s death.Lairesse shows more detail and finer lines than Carracci in this beautiful scene, which is in reverse of Carracci?s original. We attribute this work to Lairesse by the original auction purchase of this print over 20 years ago. Though, we find no other copies of this print in any institutions, reference citations, or for sale at time of description. It appears to be extremely rare.

Condition: Good. Watercolor and gouache. 31 x 22cm. Annotated with artist's name verso and collection number. .Compare to Morgan Library, Dept. of Drawings and Prints. Record ID:109832.Notes:The artist's fame stems from his sketches of Parisian society, for which Baudelaire dubbed him "the Painter of Modern Life" in the pages of Le Figaro (1863). Widely traveled and a regular contributor to the growing corpus of illustrated journals such as Illustrated London News and Punch, he worked swiftly and captured the sense of movement synonymous with modern urban life.This group of figures appears to be gathered in the foyer of a theater or cabaret, judging from the row of gas lamps along the upper margin. The women wear small bonnets, one a cape, the other a jacket, over voluminous crinolines, a stiff underskirt introduced in 1855 and unfashionable by 1867. They speak to two men in top hats, while a third seems indifferent to their presence; other similarly attired men mill about and walk through the background.Provenance:Né en 1906 à Lezay (Deux-Sèvres), Jacques Cathy a exercé d'abord la profession de caricaturiste à l'hebdomadaire Ğ Le Rire ğ.

Painting. Condition: Good + overall. An early gouache portrait of Houqua, considered the richest man in the world in the 1830s. 'This gouache portrait of Howqua, exists in several versions and sizes, from full-length to head and shoulders . some in oils and others in gouache. They seem to have had their origin in a group of portraits executed by Chinnery, the portrait of Howqua, was probably shipped to England on January 31st 1830. Following and adapting Chinnery's prototypes, Lamqua must have done a brisk business in such portraits. In particular, the distinctive features of Howqua domed forehead, hollow cheeks, wispy beard gained an almost iconic status, the acceptable face, as it were, of the China trade.' (P. Conner, 'Lamqua Western and Chinese Painter', Arts of Asia, March-April 1899, p.54). This portrait has elements of several images of Houqua. The basic structure is based on the portrait held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the style of George Chinnery. In that portrait, Houqua sits on a red banquette, looking straight at the painter, his legs crossed, wearing a dark blue robe with white cuffs, a central elaborate panel of embroidery at his chest and wide pants decorated with diagonal strips of blue, green and red. He also wears two or three strings of beads, his red domed hat to the left, a wooden doorway framework and an open space behind with a sky and a Chinese red-tasseled lantern hanging above him to the right. There is also a silver colored metal object at the left of his foot and a wooden footstool. In this portrait, the face is of an older Houqua, appearing similar to the Tinqua "Portrait of Houqua" portrait on ivory also at the Metropolitan. This image varies from that format, most strikingly on the intricate dragon coat pattern which we have not been able to trace in any other variant of this portrait. Another variation is the harbor background found in many examples, which has been blocked by a wall extending from the pillar on the right. Howqua, the representative of the thirteen factories among the Guangzhou merchants. The subject of this portrait is probably Wu Bingjian (1769-1843), the richest man on earth during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, or possibly his fifth son, Wu Shaorong (1833-1856). Howqua Wu Bingjian, had risen to become the most senior of the hong merchants in Canton, one of a select few permitted to trade in silk and porcelain with foreigners. The word hong (?) refers to both a type of building and a Chinese merchant intermediary within the Canton system of trade. Howqua's personal wealth was estimated to be around US $26 million by 1834. He contributed a third of the US $3 million that China's Qing dynasty was required to pay in reparations to the British after the 1842 Treaty of Nanking that ended the First Opium War. He had close ties with powerful contemporaries such as James Matheson, William Jardine, Samuel Russell and Abiel Abbot Low. Gouache portrait on paper, 20 1/4 x 14". There are a number of expertly repaired cracks that are barely visible as well as a matching Chinese pattern strip of paper applied to the vacant top left corner. This portrait was most recently featured on the cover of March 2026 issue of Antiques Weekly newspaper.

He almost always worked in collaboration with his brother Giuseppe Antonio (1710-1808), who was a figurist painter. Both are reported to have studied in Bologna and then to have worked in the principal cities of Italy before they went abroad. The attribution is vague as drawings by Torricelli are scarcely known.

Add to basketOne of the pastiches of a well-known painting by the Flemish artist Adriaen Brouwer (1605-1638). Between 1626 and 1629, he was a pupil of the famous Dutch painter Frans Hals (1580-1666) in Amsterdam and Haarlem, before returning to Antwerp in 1631. Together with his friend David Teniers the Younger, Brouwer was one of the representatives of the popular genre painters working in the style of Pieter Brueghel the Elder (d. 1569). The subjects of his paintings include many tavern scenes with farmers, musicians, and singing people. His influence on other 17th-century painters like Adriaen and Isaac van Ostade and David Teniers is apparent. Many of his often small panel paintings were copied or imitated by other painters at the time. The model for our painting is unmistakably Adriaen Brouwer's work in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich (Inv. 629) belonging to a series of the five senses, representing hearing. A farmer with a red cap and greenish jacket plays the violin in the foreground, a jar between his spread legs; another farmer in the background, beer mug in his left hand, is approaching a singing trio - one is reading the text of the song from a slip of paper.A number of good (our painting) and less good copies and pastiches of this painting are known, which are attributed to different artists, including Hendrik Martensz Sorg, Cornelis Saftleven, Jan Jansz. van Buesem, and Jan Miense Molenaer.Our painting recently has been attributed - apart from to Adriaen Brouwer himself - to Jan Jansz. van Buesem (ca. 1600-ca. 1649), a pupil of Pieter Quast (1606-1647). Van Buesem is known for his genre works examples of which are included in a recent oeuvre catalogue (Schouws, nos.12-13, 16-17, 20, 31 (our copy not included)). On the back of our panel is a clipping pasted with a short description of the painting (no. 6468) containing an attribution to Jan Buesem by Dr Walther Bernt, München, from 1974 who adds: "Unten rechts monogrammiert: Jm."(sic!). These initials, however appear on the bench at the left and may well refer, however, to Jan (Miense) Molenaar who certainly was acquainted with the work of Adriaen Brouwer.Jan Miense Molenaer (1610-1668) was a Dutch Golden Age genre painter whose style was a precursor to Jan Steen (1626-1679). He shared a studio with his wife Judith Leyster, one of the few female painters of the 17th century, and both may well have been pupils of Frans Hals in Haarlem. Later he developed a style more akin to Adriaen van Ostade, with works depicting music players mostly in a setting of a tavern with drinking farmers, such as his "Music Makers" (Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest), or "Family Making Music" (Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem).It is all the more likely that Jan Miense Molenaar was the painter of our panel because of his initials on the bench (JM), and because of an old label mentioning his name, also pasted to the back of the panel (partly erased).Apart from some minor damages in the lower part, this 17th-century painting is in very good condition.l Lichtert (ed.), Adriaen Brouwer (2018), p. 82; Schouws, Jan Jansz.
