Sonia Delaunay (Ukraine, Gradizhsk 1885-1979 Paris) Rythmes Ondulatoires, circa 1970 Handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry 165 x 225 cm Woven by Pinton Frères, Felletin-Aubusson, France, after Sonia Delaunay’s original design Signed 'Sonia Delaunay' in the weave, lower left, and bearing the Pinton workshop monogramme Edition of 6 + 2 AP Accompanied by a certificate from the Pinton workshops, Felletin-Aubusson, France Rythmes Ondulatoires is an important example of Sonia Delaunay’s exploration of colour, rhythm and movement translated into the medium of tapestry. The composition is structured through an intricate interplay of circles, semicircles, concentric arcs and intersecting geometric planes. Vivid fields of red, blue, green, yellow and orange are set against black, white and grey, generating a powerful sense of optical vibration and continuous movement across the woven surface. The composition reflects Delaunay’s lifelong investigation into simultaneous colour contrasts, developed from the early twentieth century onwards. Together with Robert Delaunay, she explored the capacity of juxtaposed colours and geometric forms to create rhythm, luminosity and movement. These principles became fundamental to her distinctive contribution to the development of abstraction. The Collection Société Générale similarly describes Delaunay’s work in terms of her investigations into light, the movement of colours and “simultaneous contrast,” through vivid geometric forms organised into rhythmic compositions. The tapestry also reflects Delaunay’s longstanding commitment to dissolving the traditional distinction between fine and applied arts. Throughout her career, her abstract vocabulary extended beyond painting into textiles, fashion, interior decoration and other forms of applied art. Her use of pure colour and simultaneous contrasts remained central across these different media. In Rythmes Ondulatoires, the translation of Delaunay’s composition into wool by the Pinton workshops, one of the leading modern tapestry manufacturers in the Aubusson tradition, gives physical substance and texture to her chromatic language. The concentric curves and repeated arcs create an almost musical rhythm, while the juxtaposition of geometric forms produces a composition that appears to expand and contract across the surface. References and comparable examples Another Rythmes Ondulatoires, dated 1970, is documented as a handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry in scholarly lecture material devoted to Robert and Sonia Delaunay. The Société Générale Art Collection also holds a work entitled Rythmes ondulatoires, measuring 167 × 225 cm, closely corresponding in dimensions and composition. The collection describes the work through its geometric lines and forms, interwoven vivid colours and characteristic rhythmic harmony. Another Pinton-woven Rythmes Ondulatoires was publicly presented by Galleria Antonio Verolino at ArtePadova in 2024, documenting the continued presence of this composition within the art market and exhibition context. The tapestry is in very good overall condition, with strong and well-preserved colours, with no known restorations.

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.

Maarten Rijckaert (Antwerp, 1587-1611) Forest Landscape with Hunters, 17th century Oil on panel 32.4 x 49.5 cm This beautiful painting is a typical example of Maarten Ryckaert’s talent for creating atmospheric woodland scenes. The painting presents a dense forest filled with tall trees,a river, rough terrain and rocks. Soft light filters through the branches, creating contrasts between illuminated clearings and darker shadowed areas. In the foreground, a group of hunters on the left- and rightside accompanied by dogs: their small scale compared to the towering trees highlights the dominance of nature over human activity. The hunters add a sense of narrative and movement to the otherwise peaceful setting. Ryckaert uses earthy tones such as deep greens, browns, and golden highlights to create a rich and natural atmosphere. Fine details in the foliage, rocks, and tree trunks demonstrate his close observation of nature and his skill as a landscape painter. The scene evokes both tranquility and mystery, inviting the viewer to imagine the sounds and silence of the forest. The painting reflects the Baroque interest in dramatic natural scenery while also expressing a calm, contemplative mood. Through the balance of light, composition, and detail, Ryckaert transforms an ordinary hunting scene into a poetic vision of the natural world. Maarten Ryckaert was born in Antwerp and became especially known for his imaginative woodland scenes, rocky landscapes, and peaceful rural settings filled with travelers, hunters, and small groups of figures. Ryckaert studied painting in Antwerp and was strongly influenced by earlier Flemish landscape artists such as Joos de Momper and Jan Brueghel the Elder. Unlike many painters of his time who focused on religious or historical themes, Ryckaert specialized in landscapes, giving nature the leading role in his compositions. His works often combine realism with fantasy, creating dramatic forests, winding paths, and mysterious mountainous scenery.
