Featured Masterworks
The centerpiece of the sale is Lot 431, an exceptional charcoal study by Amedeo Modigliani titled Femme assise en robe à motifs (circa 1911). Signed lower right, the work is supported by an impeccable provenance chain including the artist's estate, Galerie Percier, Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, and the prestigious Baron Raoul de Rothschild Collection.
Also headlining the event is Lot 366, a privately commissioned oil on canvas by Salvador Dalí titled The Astronaut (1968). This surrealist composition is accompanied by rare, personal correspondence from Dalí to the owner, providing a unique narrative for this incredible discovery.
"The combination of historical provenance and artistic significance in these works creates a remarkable opportunity for our clients," said a representative for Lewis & Maese. "These discoveries are exactly what make estate auctions globally relevant today".
