  Claude Monet
  Prairie, ciel nuageux, 1890
  Estimate $6,000,000-8,000,000
  

  Property from a Distinguished Private French Collection
  
  Prairie, ciel nuageux is a prime example of Monet’s lifelong commitment to exploring the effects of light and weather on his surroundings, and represents the height of the artist’s Impressionist style. The serene agrarian subject matter of the composition perfectly captures the central focus of Monet’s work towards the end of the nineteenth century, and its vibrant, rich surface exemplifies the technical mastery Monet had reached by the start of the decade.

  Edgar Degas
  Deux danseuses, circa 1891
  Estimate $3,000,000-5,000,000

  Property from a Private French Collection
  
  Deux danseuses, one of Degas' late pastels depicting the behind-the-scenes intimacy of the ballet, perfectly captures a theme which profoundly fascinated the artist throughout his life. Rendered in rich pastels in varying tones of blue and orange, this work captures the unguarded gestures of two dancers, and contrasts with the stylized depictions of the public spectacle of the ballet which also inspired many of Degas’s important pastels.

  Paul Cézanne
  L’Oncle Dominique en casquette, 1866-67
  Estimate $2,500,000-3,500,000

  Property from the Bakwin Collection
  
  L’Oncle Dominique en casquette is one of nine portraits that Cézanne painted of his maternal uncle, Dominique Aubert, the majority of which are held in important museum collections. The artist’s rare depiction of this subject is made even more unique by the work’s texture, as the work was executed with a palette knife, a testament to Cézanne’s early experimentation with the oil medium.

  Pierre Bonnard
  Femme à sa toilette (Le Peignoir), circa 1923
  Estimate $5,000,000-7,000,000
  

  Lumières: The Levy Family Collection
  
  Femme à sa toilette (Le Peignor) is one of the most brightly rendered of Bonnard’s bathing scenes, capturing the sitter in an intimate moment just before undressing. Almost certainly depicting his wife Marthe, this work is a beautiful and complex exploration of light and color.

  Pablo Picasso
  Mousquetaire à la pipe, 1968
  Estimate $20,000,000-30,000,000
  

  Property from a Private American Collection
  
  Painted in 1968, Mousquetaire à la pipe is part of a series of paintings depicting musketeers, a theme that defined Picasso’s later years. The figure of the valiant musketeer, combined with the work’s energetic brushstrokes and bold use of color, suggest Picasso’s identification with the character of the musketeer towards the end of his life.
