About the Item

"Friends" by Agnes McIntyre Croxford is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the delicate balance of harmony and curiosity in the animal kingdom. This painting presents two small dogs and three cats seated together, all gazing questioningly at a small, lifeless mouse, evoking a narrative that is as endearing as it is intriguing. The felines are adorned with dainty pink ribbons around their necks, adding a touch of elegance to their poised demeanor. Against a backdrop of a muted gray wall, the composition is brought to life with sprigs of what appear to be cherry blossoms in full bloom, infusing the scene with a sense of renewal and life that contrasts with the still mouse. Having circulated through the halls of prestigious auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, "Friends" carries with it a history of appreciation and a legacy of value. This piece is not just a painting; it is a slice of history, a moment of innocence, and a celebration of the quaintness that Croxford so beautifully encapsulated in her work.

European Goldfinches, Taormina, By Swedish Artist Lindorm Liljefors
Located in Stockholm, SE
This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1928 to 1934, under the tutelage of Alfred Bergström and Wilhelm Smith, he honed his skills before embarking on study trips to France and Italy in 1934. Our painting "Goldfinches, Taormina" showcases a serene natural landscape, inspired by the picturesque scenery of Taormina, it captures the essence of Taormina's natural beauty, combining it with Liljefors' unique artistic perspective. The landscape is richly detailed with lush green grass, delicate flowers, and rugged stones. The focal point is two European goldfinches...
