Large Modern Abstract Bookshelf Painting – Neutral Tones, Oil on Canvas - French
By SOPHIE DUMONT
Located in LANGRUNE-SUR-MER, FR
Sophie Dumont – “Mémoires Écrites” Oil on canvas – 47.24 x 15.75 in (120 x 40 cm) Framed dimensions: 49.21 x 17.72 in (125 x 45 cm) – Choice of black or natural wood frame Year: 2025 Certificate of authenticity included In Mémoires Écrites, French artist Sophie Dumont offers a refined and contemplative vision of a stylized bookshelf. This large-format oil painting brings together neutral tones—soft greys, off-whites, deep charcoal, and ochre accents—layered in a textured composition that evokes both order and emotion. Each volume, rendered with palette knife and impasto technique, becomes a silent keeper of memories. The vertical rhythm of the books plays against the horizontal structure of the shelves, creating a harmonious abstract arrangement that evokes serenity, introspection, and the timelessness of knowledge. Framed and ready to hang, this minimalist library painting is ideal for collectors seeking sophisticated contemporary wall art. Dumont’s works are held in museum and private collections worldwide, celebrated for their poetic abstraction and refined materiality. bookshelf abstract painting, oil on canvas, large wall art, contemporary neutral artwork, minimalist library art, Sophie Dumont painting, textured modern painting, book art, abstract bookshelf...

The Witch of Endor - Oil Paint - End of 18th Century
Located in Roma, IT
The Witch of Endor conjures up the specter of Samuel in front of King Saul is an old master artwork realized by a follower of Georg Andreas Wolfgang I between 18th and 19th century. Mixed colored oil painting on canvas. On the back probable signature of the author traced by brush "P. So [mita] rt [...] Fac. ". The subject of this painting, the witch of Endor, a necromancer mentioned in the Bible whose power was to evoke the spirit of the dead, is a very rare theme in painting and there are few artists who represented it. In Italy it was especially Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) who had a deep interest in necromantic subjects and, in particular, he produced many paintings of this kind when he stayed in Florence in the 1840s. Rosa's inventions were exported throughout Europe and, in particular, in the German cities of Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Augusta through the works of Johann Heinnrich Schonfeld (Stuttgart, 1627 - Habsburg, 1684), an artist who worked in Naples and who remained sensitive to figure of Salvator Rosa. In this context, in addition to Schonfeld, the Swiss Joseph Werner II (Berne, 1637-1710) was also responsible for the diffusion of this pictorial genre, introducing Rosa's works on witchcraft among his knowledge of Augsburg. He was also the inventor of the scene represented here from whose drawing (Bern, Kunstmuseum, inv. A1196), executed in 1677, the engraving made immediately after by Georg Andreas Wolfgang the Elder (1631–1716) and by which derives precisely the work examined here. The engraving, which was part of a series of biblical images, was dedicated by Wolfgang to Leonhard Weiss, probably a municipal employee of Augsburg or tis mayor.

18th Century Oil on Canvas Portrait, Major Alexander Brown in Military Uniform.
By Sir David Wilkie
Located in Cotignac, FR
18th Century Military portrait of a young officer in Napoleonic period military dress. The painting is not signed but the subject is Major Alexander Brown. The work is oil on canvas later mounted on board and presented in a fine 'Regence style' carved gilt frame. There are labels to the back referring to the subject, 'Major Brown of Trinity' and a framers trade label from Edinburgh. A magnificent and imposing portrait of a young military officer in the prime of his life. His red uniform adorned with fine buttons, fringed epaulettes and high gilt collar. His ruddy complexion offset by his stylish hair, a quiff and swept forward to the sides as was the fashion at the time. Sir David Wilkie RA (18 November 1785 – 1 June 1841) was a Scottish painter, especially known for his portraits, including formal royal ones, and scenes from his travels to Europe and the Middle East. He painted successfully in a wide variety of genres, including historical scenes. His main base was in London, but he died and was buried at sea, off Gibraltar, returning from his first trip to the Middle East. He was sometimes known as the "people's painter". He was Principal Painter in Ordinary to King William IV and Queen Victoria. Apart from royal portraits, his best-known painting today is probably The Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Waterloo Dispatch of 1822 in Apsley House. Sir David Wilkie was actually admitted in 1799 (despite only being 14) through the influence of the Earl of Leven...
