Christie's Paris have unveiled that they will be offering works from the collection of the late Arthur Georges Veil-Picard (1854–1944) on 25th March 2026.

According to artnet's article linked above:

Christie’s is billing the sale as offering a glimpse into one of “the most mysterious and coveted” private collections in art history, largely known only through black-and-white reproductions. It features 30 works by the likes of Hubert Robert (1733–1808), Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (1724–1780), Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842), and Marie-Suzanne Roslin (1734–1772). It could bring in as much as €5 million to €8 million ($5.85 million–9.35 million) in total.
