Univers du Bronze
François Pompon (Saulieu 1855-1933 Paris) Bust of André Leproust, 1904 Salon des Artistes français in 1904, n° 3228 Original plaster H 57.4 x W 22.5 x D 22.8 cm Unique piece signed 'F Pompon', dated '1904' Circa 1904 The bust of Pompon is the original plaster cast exhibited at the Salon in 1904 and is one of the rare examples of Pompon's 'classical' work just before he became the animal sculptor we know today. this work is in the same spirit as Cosette that was exhibited two years ago at BRAFA, a model with which he hoped to achieve great success in the late 1880s. André Leproust's bust is particularly modern, with its contrast between the very pure face and the lower part of the bust, where the material is very present. The flowers evoke both the innocence of the young boy and the Eure countryside where the model lived. Finally, the very narrow cut-out at the bottom of the bust lends a greater verticality and contributes to this modern élan.

Head of Saint Janvier known as San Gennaro Naples, (Italy), 18th century Silver gilt H 15 x W 11.8 cm - Weight: 696 gr. Saint Janvier is the patron saint of the city of Naples. The head is made from a thick sheet of silver that is entirely hammered, embossed and chased. The pathos of the face expresses the mystical vision typical of Italian Baroque taste. The rendering of the face is highly expressive. This head is executed in the purest tradition of the reliquary busts found in Naples at the beginning of the eighteenth century in the treasury of the cathedral of San Gennaro (Treasure of Saint Janvier).

Zebregs&Röell Fine Art and Antiques
A Mammoth ivory figure of an African Amor Flanders or Southern Germany, 17th century H 17.3 cm Provenance: private collection, United Kingdom; with Peter Petrou, London This figure has many iconological meanings. With the bow and arrows, it is an Amor, but since the bow, the quiver of arrows and one single arrow are lying on the ground together with a shield, they may symbolise unsuccessful or fended-off love. The Amor playing with his penis and blowing a whirligig together may be symbols of the fickleness and transitoriness of love. The chain with a cross around his neck is a Roman Catholic symbol and may point to a Catholic country of origin, probably South Germany or Flanders.

Heutink Ikonen
Ascension of Christ Russia (Yaroslavl), 17th century Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 72 x 48.5 cm This monumental icon shows an unusual division of planes. In the upper register, Christ is depicted in a green mandorla that is carried to heaven by two angels. The footprints in the earth beneath the mandorla show how Christ was still standing on the earth shortly before. The disciples left beneath gaze and point upwards in wonder. Noticeably, the disciples are standing before the openings of a cave, a reminder of Christ's resurrection from the grave. Directly below Christ, the Mother of God is depicted, flanked by radiant white angels. She bows her head slightly and raises her hands in prayer and reception - a pose reminiscent of the Annunciation. Just as Mary received her divine child at that time, she now leaves him to return to his heavenly father.
