The King
s Camelopard
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Charles Frederick de Brocktorff (1775–1850)
‘Camelopard – a present from the Pacha of Egypt to the King – at Malta on its way to England’
Signed and dated C.F. de Brocktorff. / 1827. lower right, inscribed as titled in the painted margins lower centre. Pencil and watercolour heightened with gold paint and gum arabic on paper, 36.8 x 27.9 cm
A gift so majestic, it made kings blush, and a gift so grand, it would startle Europe into a craze. Pasha Muhammad Ali of Egypt (1805-1848) did it in 1827: he sent to Europe three magical spotted, horned creatures, each with a neck reaching the skies and legs as long as a house is high. One giraffe to King Charles X of France, one to Francis I of Austria and the most fabled one to King George IV of England. A curious sight for Europeans, who had not seen such a beast since the Medici giraffe in 1487.
Few animals created more of a stir in Europe than these royal...

Antique Horse Study; Legs and Rumps, 1838" Wouterus Verschuur (Dutch, 1812-1874)
Located in SANTA FE, NM
Antique Horse Study
"Legs and Rumps, 1838"
Wouterus Verschuur l (Dutch, 1812-1874)
Pencil on paper
Signed and Dated "W Verschuur 1838"
10 x 6 1/2 (17 1/2 x 14 frame) inches
In his time Wouterus Verschuur was an acclaimed and celebrated painter of horses. Through careful observation he learned to capture their physique and movement to perfection. As a true-born romanticist he was also interested in their character, thereby painting powerful carthorses in their stable, thoroughbred saddled horses during an afternoon ride or harnessed horses in action.
He was born to an Amsterdam jeweler and received his training from the landscape and cattle painters Pieter Gerardus van Os and Cornelis Steffelaar. As part of this education Verschuur had to copy works by the 17th century painter Philips Wouwerman. Like Wouwerman, Verschuur's subjects consist mostly of stable scenes, landscapes with horses and coastal landscape. These works reflect the enduring influence of the northern Baroque masters on nineteenth century art, revealing the artist's close study of his Dutch and Flemish predecessors harking back to Peter Paul Rubens.
Showing talent from a very early age, at 15 Verschuur had a painting exhibited at the "Exhibition of Living Masters" at Amsterdam in 1828. In 1832 and 1833 he won the gold medal at the annual exhibition at Felix Meritis. In 1833 he was appointed a member of the Royal Academy in Amsterdam. In 1839 he joined the artists' society, Arti et Amicitiae.
His reputation was also considerable abroad. He was often featured in the annual exhibitions which travelled the large European cities at that time. In 1855 Napoleon III purchased one of his paintings at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
The Verschuur horse revels in its physicality, like a quintessential Baroque horse...

Original 1932 aquarelle titled Le Candidat et les Électeurs by F. Robbe
Located in PARIS, FR
A whimsical and pointed piece of political satire, this original 1932 aquarelle titled Le Candidat et les Électeurs ("The Candidate and the Voters") by F. Robbe transforms the political stage into a witty animal allegory.
Drawn in expressive black ink and watercolor wash, the scene depicts a parrot—perched high, wearing a top hat, and clutching a rolled-up speech—addressing an eager flock of birds below. With beaks open wide, the ‘electors’ appear to hang on every word of the charismatic, if cartoonish, orator. It's a visual metaphor brimming with irony, capturing the timeless performance of politics: showmanship, repetition, and the crowd’s fervor.
Signed “F. Robbe, 32”, this work encapsulates the interwar period’s sharp sense of humor and skepticism toward authority. Its monochrome palette only enhances the theatrical drama and expressive character design, reminiscent of 19th-century French caricature artists like Daumier or Grandville, yet rendered in a distinctly 20th-century modernist spirit.
Measuring small in size but large in statement, this is a rare surviving piece of illustrated political commentary. Whether you're drawn to its historical charm, anthropomorphic cleverness, or satirical tone, this little gem remains a delightful reflection on democratic rituals—and their absurdities.
A unique acquisition for collectors of early 20th-century illustration, political art, or vintage French ephemera...

Tamanuâguacû (Ant-eater)
late 17th/18th century, Brazil
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Follower of Zacharias Wagener (1614-1688)
Tamanuâguasû (Giant Anteater)
On Italian 17th or 18th-century paper, H. 28 x W. 43.5 cm
The present painting is a copy after Wagener’s painting of the anteater, Tamanduá-bandeira, which is illustrated in his “Thier Buch”, with 109 drawings of Brazilian fish, birds and mammals, published in Amsterdam c. 1641, in German.
Zacharias Wagener, or Wagenaer in Dutch, (Dresden 1614 – Amsterdam 1668) was a real adventurer who became Opperhoofd on Deshima and Governor of the Cape of Good Hope in the service of the VOC. During the Thirty-Year War in Germany Wagener tried his luck in Amsterdam where he worked for the map-maker Willem Blaeu. In 1634 he joined the WIC and left for Dutch Brazil where he worked as writer and painter, together with Frans Post...
