Sleeping Baby, Jan Sluijters (1881-1957)
Located in AMSTELVEEN, NL
This oil painting on panel by Jan Sluijters depicts a peaceful domestic scene of a sleeping child surrounded by scattered toys on a soft blanket. The work radiates tenderness, with Sluijters’ characteristic use of light and color lending warmth and intimacy to the composition. The baby’s serene expression highlight Sluijters’ mastery of capturing everyday life with emotional depth. Jan Sluijters (1881–1957) was a pioneering Dutch painter who significantly modernized Dutch art in the early 20th century. His style evolved from luminism to fauvism, expressionism, and eventually realism, with his works often celebrating modern life and domestic intimacy. Known for his vibrant use of color and light, Sluijters produced a wide range of works, including portraits, landscapes, and scenes of everyday life. His contributions to modern Dutch art...

Stunning Hand-Colored Antique Bird Print of a Female Jacamar by Barraband, c1805
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Le Jacamar femelle, No. 48'. This print originates from "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Rolliers, Suivie de Celle des Toucans et des Barbus" by Francois Levillant. Barraband pinxt. Gremillier Sculpt. De l'Imprimerie de Rousset. Jacques Barraband (or Pierre-Paul Barraband) (1767? (baptized 1768), Aubusson (Creuse), France–1 October 1809, Lyon) was a French zoological and botanical illustrator, renowned for his lifelike renderings of tropical birds. His pictures were based on mounted specimens and his illustration was considered the most accurate ones made during the early 1800s. Barraband was born to Jacques Barraband and Marie-Anne Bebit in 1767 (or 1768) and was baptized on August 31, 1768 at the church of Sainte-Croix in Aubusson. His father worked in the local tapestry factory and the son also worked there briefly after studying art at the local school, which was famed for producing several artists of note, including Francis Roby de Faureix and Etienne de La Seiglière de La Cour. He later moved to Paris, working at tapestry and carpet stores on rue de la Huchette and studying art at l’Academie royale de peinture under Joseph-Laurent Malaine. During the French exposition of 1798, he produced some paintings for the carpet manufacturers Gobelins and Savonnerie and for the porcelain makers Dihl and Gerhard. He also made illustrations of insects for the French naturalist Sonnini and illustrated a book by Fournier on Egypt. He then produced a series of watercolours of birds...

Framed Chinese Embroidered Silk Collar Qing Dynasty
Located in Atlanta, GA
A silk collar from China dated to late Qing Dynasty circa 19th century. Known as Yunjian (Cloud Shoulder or Cloud Collar), this multi-lobed textile piece was a detachable collar worn around the shoulders as part of the traditional Chinese garment accessory. With its origin dated back to the Han Dynasty and being used until the end of Qing Dynasty, the form evolves with time, but much of the ornamentation and fundamental symbolism remains the same. This striking example features a two-tiered design with seven lobes on each circle, all of which are variations of the shape of auspicious "ruyi", which represents the head of Lingzhi mushroom, a symbol of longevity. The inner lobes feature elaborate embroidery floral design with long and short satin stitches. Notably, one panel has a double gourd design, the symbol of fortune. The outer lobes show a simpler but bolder vision with the outlines of the designs lineated with metallic threads buddled in chain stitches. Small jade beads were used to link the piece together and most of them still remain. The piece as a whole has a very pleasant lilac purple color, delicate with the jade beads. In Qing Dynasty, the silk collar with high quality was worn by noble or aristocratic women. The red color and the lotus boy symbol indicate that it was most likely part of the fashion accouterment worn during wedding ceremony. The collar is beautifully float mounted within a double conforming mat in a giltwood frame and wood backing. A stunningly presented period piece with story to tell. Reference: For a collection of Chinese embroidered collars...
