Our upcoming Fine & Affordable Art sale promises another richly varied collection spanning four centuries of artistic expression – from 17th-century courtly curiosities to contemporary cityscapes.

Among the highlights is a remarkable oil on oak panel from the English School, believed to depict Sir Jeffrey Hudson – the famed court dwarf of Queen Henrietta Maria – leading a regiment of children in a ceremonial tableau. With provenance linking it to Charlotte Stanley, Countess of Derby, this fascinating piece offers both historical intrigue and artistic charm.

Continental flair is well represented too, with evocative tavern scenes after Adriaen van Ostade and David Teniers the Younger, and candlelit interiors in the manner of Godfried Schalcken – each capturing the warmth and bustle of everyday life in 17th–19th century Europe.

Looking to more modern masters, the sale also includes a serene pastel cityscape by John Mackie, capturing the soft hues of dusk over the Thames, and a delicate watercolour of Amiens Cathedral by Fred Lawson. For lovers of still life, don’t miss the oil attributed to Henri Fantin-Latour, dated 1873 – a classic composition of fruit and jug with the quiet confidence of a museum piece.

Whether you're beginning your collection or adding to a lifelong passion, this sale is designed to be as accessible as it is inspiring. Explore oils, watercolours, pastels and more, with estimates to suit a range of budgets and tastes.
