No, not quite dead but I have been feeling more than a little bit low lately. Nothing serious, but it doesn't make for very interesting posts either.
So let's just look at some very nice paintings and portraits, 'k? I always forget that the auction houses put up such great and HUGE images of their goodies online - in fact, better than many digitized museum collections!
Let's start with Bukowskis (and clicky, clicky for HUGE!):
Duke Karl of Sudermannia
(yup, that's a Roslin!)
Ja, auktionsverken är väldigt frikostiga med bilder och det är trevligt.
ReplyDeleteMer porträtt åt folket!
I would like most of them up on my walls!
ReplyDeleteI would settle for one on my walls! Love them, great selection!

ReplyDeleteDo you know from which country picture is with the girls slaughtering the chickens? It is always so intersting to see workingclass people!
ReplyDeleteAnd I want the embroideryframe of the lady in blue ;)
Thank you so much for posting!
Greetings from Germany

Hi Cécile!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but I don't know where the chick painting is from. I looked through so many pages of the auction site so it would be impossible to find it again, I'm afraid.
