Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928-1987 New York) Patty Raynes and son, 1985 Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 102 a 102 cm Signed on the reverse and dated 'Andy Warhol 85' Provenance: Patty Raynes, USA (1985 directly acquired from the artist); private collection, USA (2022 acquired from the above) In 1985, Patty Raynes commissioned two works, this one with a yellow background and a second one with a white background. ‘Patty Raynes and Son’ from 1985 is one of a series of portraits in which Warhol no longer exclusively depicted global celebrities, but increasingly portrayed members of his social environment - individuals whose social position exerted a symbolic aura, even if they remained outside the pop-cultural canon. Patty Raynes came from a respected family of American industrialists, socialite and daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, a fact that inevitably lends the work the character of a status portrait. Warhol, who was always concerned with the relationship between appearance and identity, addresses the portrait here as an expression of social affiliation. The subject, the depiction of a mother and child, is immediately reminiscent of the archetypal motifof the Madonna and Child. Warhol adopts this traditional pictorial form but transforms it into a contemporary icon: the sacred content isdisrupted by the screen-printing technique, giving the scene a cool, distanced character. Patty Haynes and son emerge from this mature period in Warhol’s oeuvre, when the artist extended his repertoire of subjects to include his panoply of famous friends, artists, actors, and socialites. A collection idolizing the who’s who of New York, Warhol intended for the 40 by 40-inch series to be exhibited together in a “Portrait of Society,” a dream eventually realized at the artist’s retrospective Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2018.

Jan Boeckhorst (Münster 1604-1668 Antwerp) Henri IV at the Battle of Ivry, 17th century Pen and Brown ink, watercolour and gouache, heightened with whith and red wash on paper 20 x 29.1 cm In 1622, Maria de' Medici signed a contract with Rubens for two series of twenty-four paintings. The first series depicted her own life story, the other the heroic deeds of her husband: Henri IV. As was his custom, Rubens worked on this commission together with some of his pupils and assistants. The successful king had been assassinated 12 years earlier whilst riding through Paris in an open carriage. He had brought an end to the fierce civil war between Protestants and Catholics and did not shy away from doing the heavy lifting on the battlefield himself. What was intended to be a tribute to one of France’s bravest leaders turned out to be a damp squib. Due to turmoil at court, the series about the famous battle near Paris remained unfinished. This dynamic and finely worked drawing captures the dramatic moment of the Battle of Ivry (1590), where King Henri IV led his forces to a decisive victory during the French Wars of Religion. Executed in pen and brown ink and enriched with watercolour and gouache, the composition is animated by vigorous movement and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The artist heightens the scene with touches of white and red wash, emphasizing the glint of armour, the energy of the horses, and the intensity of the clash. The central figure of Henri IV, mounted and illuminated, commands the composition, surrounded by swirling troops and fallen adversaries. Ethereal figures above the battlefield introduce a sense of divine favour, a motif often associated with royal propaganda of the period. Despite its relatively intimate scale, the sheet conveys remarkable grandeur and narrative force, making it a compelling example of late 16th‑ to early 17th‑century battle imagery. We are grateful to Stijn Alsteens of the Fondation Custodia for his attribution of the drawing to Jan Boeckhorst.

Transition period secretary in wardrobe stamped Charles TOPINO (1742-1803) and Jurande hallmark Rectangular in shape, the front uprights with cut sides, the front legs arched, the hind legs straight, the oak frame, it opens with a drawer, two leaves and a flap revealing a compartmentalized interior of seven drawers and four compartments. Top of breccia marble from Aleppo. Inlaid decoration in rosewood, amaranth, holly, sycamore, lemon tree, stained wood, tobacco wood, drawing lattices on the uprights and the upper drawer, those of the latter, embellished with flowers, and trompe-l'oeil on the front and on the sides, a decoration of garlands of oval cartouches of stylised acanthus leaves uniting the panels of the toilet seat and the leaves, each also presenting, in the upper part, a leafy garland that can be found on the side panels. The latter are decorated with two gadrooned urns close to the flowered vases of the leaves. The toilet seat has a trompe-l'oeil perspective decoration, an orangery whose open shutters give a glimpse of a wooded landscape in the distance, a perspective accentuated by the checkerboard paving, also present on the leaves. Eight boxes of fruit trees are spread around a table on which are placed two flowered vases and under which is a watering can. The interior reveals six side drawers in three rows, inlaid with a floral vase pattern, as well as a central drawer. Stamped TOPINO and hallmark of Jurande Charles TOPINO received master in 1773 The art of marquetry The bronzes are discreet on our desk and this is intended to give pride of place to marquetry, qualified as wooden painting. If it is possible and tempting - rightly to link a cabinetmaker to his marquetry and this is regularly the case for Topino whose utensil marquetry inspired by the borders of Chinese Coromandel lacquer screens of the time is a characteristic of the artist - it turns out that the models circulated and that inlaid panels could be used by the same circle of cabinetmakers. If the vases, potiches, flowers, utensils reproduced, invented, associated, allow us to recognize Topino's art, it should be noted that the framing motif made up of oval reserves with quartefeuilles and spandrels can be found on secretaries, a chest of drawers and a dressing table stamped Jacques Bircklé. By this same cabinetmaker, a secretary also presents the same vases present on our furniture. Very similar marquetry panels. both in their compositions and in their frames can be found on a chest of drawers attributed to Jacques Bircklé, illustrated in the book by Pierre Kjellberg, who also defines the paving pattern as Bircklé's "almost exclusiveness". our secretary thus witnessed the circulation of drawn or engraved models -
