Sold this beautiful vintage/retro pastel nude of a reclining woman. I hadn’t posted before, too much to do sometimes.

I really love this painting. Great focus on her beauty and form, with perfect highlights and shading. Also the slightly damaged frame and mount.

I’ve sold dozens of nudes over the decades. Surprisingly the majority to women. I understand as the shape of a woman is one of the most beautiful sights in our amazing world.

I’ve also sold a few male nudes, one to a woman, the others to men.

Rare 19th century French solid kingwood ‘whatnot’
This rare 19th century French solid kingwood whatnot is certainly a work of cabinetmaker, leader of Japonism, Gabriel Viardot (1830-1904).
It is surmounted by a varnished polished bronze dragon that is frequently found in the cabinetmaker’s production.
The lower part also has shelves whose upright is decorated with a wrapped dragon in varnished polished bronze.
