| Announcing the Sotheby's New York's Major 19th Century European painting sale is here. The Pre-Sale is up now through November 3rd and the auction is November 4th. The Sale includes a selection of many fine works of the period including 3 Alma-Tademas, 3 Godwards, 6 Bouguereaus, and many works by Bouguereau students as well. In addition, the sale features Jehan Georges Vibert's greatest know cardinal painting La Tireuse De Cartes, A.K.A. The Fortune Teller. This work is the ultimate spoof on the clergy and at the time it was painted, was representative of freedom a speech. It was a painting the artist would have been severely punished for if he had painted it at almost any other pervious point in history.
