“Rowing on the Seine” by Ferdinand Heilbuth returns to France

We were pleased to once again offer a fine selection of important paintings, drawings and sculpture ranging from 17th Century Dutch portraits to 20th British modernist landscapes.

We are thrilled that this season’s magnificent discovery, “Rowing on the Seine” by Ferdinand Heilbuth, a hidden gem of classic French Impressionism, realized $38,400, above its estimate of $15,000 – 25,000. The painting is now beginning a new journey back to Paris.

Additional highlights of the sale include:

  • lot 21, Eugene Verboeckhoven’s “The Twins”, realised $38,400
  • lot 149, “From Smyrna to Boudja” by Anton Schranz, realised $20,400.
  • Our cover lot, “Beach Brittany” by Anne Estelle Rice sold for well above its estimate at $14,000.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this season’s International Art auction at Waddington’s, to those who inquired about the sale, attended the previews and the auction, as well as to our many International bidders who participated over the phone and via Invaluable.com.
