Étude pour une chasse au lion by Eugene Delacroix (1789-1863) Catalogue raisonne reference: Alfred Robalt 733. Christie’s provenance. Description: Eugene Delacroix was a famous French Romantic painter whose career is seen to this day as imperative in the shaping of the French Romantic school. He studied at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand and Lycee Pierre Corneille. He was inspired by Baroque painters like Peter Paul Rubens, incorporating the extravagance of early Flemish painting into his work. He was often seen as in direct opposition to the established French Neoclassical school which included artists like Ingres and David. Nevertheless, Delacroix maintained his career as an artist through history paintings and later political paintings such as "Liberty Leading the People...

The Royal Academy, Svenska Akvareller (Swedish Watercolor Exhibition), 1925, no. 224, Vilande kameler (owner Signe Trygger). Essay: This delicate watercolour, executed during Lundgren’s first journey to Egypt in the winter of 1861–62, depicts a resting dromedary in the shade at Giza. Painted in transparent washes with touches of white gouache, the work captures the intense desert light and atmosphere with a remarkable immediacy. The reclining animal dominates the composition, rendered in warm ochres and browns against a cool, shadowy background, while highlights on its saddle and coat give the scene a subtle radiance. The quiet stillness of the subject reflects Lundgren’s sensitivity to the everyday motifs of the Orient, which he observed and painted directly on site. Lundgren travelled to Egypt in the company of two British artists, Frank Dillon (1823-1909) and George Price Boyce...
