About the Item

Amorous Couple Watercolor on laid paper, c. 1810 Unsigned Provenance: Emile Wolf (1899-1996) The art collection of Emile Wolf was dispersed by Sotheby and Stair Galleries. Condition: Excellent 22K gold leaf finishes corner frame (see photo) “Mr. Wolf’s collection reflects a lifelong commitment to the arts. Although a mainstay of the Old Masters art scene in New York, Mr. Wolf’s collection spanned centuries and genres. He was an impassioned collector, and his Fifth Avenue apartment was filled with paintings and drawings that hung from floor to ceiling in every room. Space void of art was lined with an extensive library of art books that fueled his ardent collecting. Mr. Wolf took great joy in sharing this collection and his ideas with art historians, collectors, dealers and university students. The Wolf collection included masterworks from every influential and groundbreaking Impressionist and modern artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ranging from an outstanding grouping of works on paper by Picasso, Pissarro, and Cezanne to a Renoir oil emblematic of the artist’s unique technical execution. Mr. Wolf’s passion and generosity led him to be a major patron to museums, including the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, National Gallery of Art, Metropolitan Museum, and Chrysler Museum, as well as donating many works to a number of universities. Proud to have become an American, he donated a Rubens drawing of the Capitoline Eagle to the National Gallery of Art on the occasion of America’s Bicentennial.” Courtesy of Sotheby’s Sotheby: Property from the family of Emile Wolf
