Odilon Redon (Bordeaux 1840-1916 Paris) Femme de profil, circa 1901-1905 Oil on paper mounted on panel 52 x 49.7 cm 71 x 68 cm (framed) Signed lower right 'Odilon Redon' This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné currently in preparation by the Wildenstein Plattner Institute Provenance: Roger Imbert collection Few images sum up Odilon Redon’s late manner as completely as this small panel. A woman’s profile, her head wrapped in a coif, rises from the heart of a flower as though she were its pistil; around her, reds, oranges and a pale, luminous ground dissolve the boundary between figure and bloom. Painted in oil on paper around 1901–1905, it belongs to the decisive decade in which Redon, after two decades of the charcoal noirs, turned to colour and transformed the hallucinatory visions of his youth into images of serene metamorphosis. The profile is Redon’s most personal format. Seen from the side and half-concealed, his faces never quite give themselves away: “At the centre of my work,” he wrote, “there is a small door that opens onto a mystery.” Here that door opens onto two motifs that run through his finest works of the period: the head within the flower, as in Fleur illuminée (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, c. 1900), and the coif that reappears on male and female faces alike up to Moine lisant of 1914 (Kunst Museum Winterthur). Oil on paper, a support Redon used for some of his most intimate late pictures, gave him the velvety, floating surface of his pastels together with the depth of painting. The painting entered the collection of the Paris dealer Roger Imbert in 1930 alongside two Redons from the collection of Robert de Domecy, the patron for whom the artist painted the decorative panels now at the Musée d’Orsay, a provenance that places it in the circle of Redon’s closest early supporters. It will be included in the digital catalogue raisonné in preparation at the Wildenstein Plattner Institute. Coming to light as Redon’s colour works are being reassessed by major exhibitions in Winterthur, Gifu, Tokyo and at the Getty, Femme de profil offers what rarely reaches the market: a signed, intimately scaled Symbolist Redon in colour, in which the dream has become a flower.

Denys Calvaert (Antwerp circa 1540-1619 Bologna) Holy Family with Saint Jerome and the Infant John the Baptist Oil on copper 50.4 cm x 39.6 cm Signed and dated CALVA ... T ... / ... CIT / 158 ? ... lower centre Provenance: Von Planta Family, Samedan, acquired in the 1920s according to the family tradition (although it could have been acquired earlier); London, Sotheby’s, 3 December 2014, lot 18; private collection, Brussels Flemish by birth, Calvaert settled in Bologna in 1562, where he became a leading artist and played a central role in training the foremost painters of the Bolognese school. Guido Reni, Francesco Albani and Domenichino were among his most celebrated pupils. A specialist in religious subjects, Calvaert excelled both in large altarpieces and in small, refined paintings for private devotion. This exquisite Holy Family, painted in the 1580s, belongs to the latter category. Conceived as a sacra conversazione, it invites meditation on Christ’s future sacrifice. In response to the scroll bearing the words “Ecce Agnus Dei”, which the young Saint John the Baptist fervently holds up, the Christ Child expresses gentle acceptance, raising his right hand in blessing and holding in his left an apple, a symbol of the redemptive purpose of the Passion to come. The Virgin and the two saints contemplate this symbolic dialogue in quiet adoration. Few works by Calvaert combine so successfully the elegance and refinement of Mannerism with the clarity of religious expression advocated by the Counter-Reformation. The poetic vista of landscape and architecture in the background lends depth to the composition and reflects Calvaert’s Flemish taste for an airy atmosphere and a sense of recession achieved through gradations of blue and green rather than geometry. It contributes to the gentleness, calm and balance that pervade the scene.

Jane Graverol (Brussels 1905-1984 Fontainebleau) Femme Libérée, 1949 Oil on canvas 60 x 73 cm Signed and dated 'Jane Graverol 1949' Provenance: collection of his friend and artist Tom Gutt Literature: Xavier Canonne, Le surréalisme en Belgique: 1924-2000, Fonds Mercator, 2006; Le surréalisme en Belgique, Bozar Books, Fonds Mercator, 2024 Exhibitions: Le surréalisme en Belgique, Musée de Mons, March-August 2007; Histoire de ne pas rire, Bozar, Brussels, February-June 2024, ill. p. 221 Created in 1949, the year Jane Graverol met René Magritte, this work is an important example of the artist’s exploration of female identity and confinement. Graverol depicts herself inside a cage. The image reflects on women’s position in the mid-20th century, when social expectations strongly limited women’s independence. Yet, the open door suggests the possibility of emancipation and a desire to break away from prescribed roles. The painting was also repeatedly selected by the press to illustrate coverage of the Bozar exhibition. This artwork embodies something larger: the tension between the restrictions of an era and a woman’s desire to claim a space of her own. Full press references available on request.
