Sotheby's New York have uploaded their Master Paintings & Works of Art Part I online. The auction will take place on 5th February 2026.
Amongst the highlights of the sale are Antonello da Messina's Ecce Homo estimated at $10m - $15m, Jan Lievens' Allegory of the Five Senses at $2m - $3m, Francisco de Zurbarán's Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria carrying an estimate of $800k - $1.2m, Biagio d'Antonio's Portrait of a Young Man Wearing a Red Berretto estimated at $800k - $1.2m, and a Head of a Bearded Man by Fragonard estimated at $600k - $800k.
Update - Bendor adds: come along Sotheby's; your high-res images seem to be getting worse and worse. How can you expect to entice people to drop six, seven figure sums based on a small jpeg? Christie's now has 'superzoom'.
