PARIS.- The mask is the ultimate anti-object. Semiologists would use the term deictic to describe it — the gesture of a finger pointing over there, somewhere else. Whether it belongs to a Greek tragedy performer, to a member of the Anonymous collective, to an immunocompromised citizen or to a Snapchat user, the mask designates something else than itself, and in so doing it also distinguishes iconophiles from iconoclasts. So, there are two options: will you believe what is represented on its illusionist surface, or will you try to take a peek behind the scenes, even if that means being at risk of succumbing to paranoia? Heads or tails, image or object: perhaps the impasse is due to wanting to stick too closely to the lost origin, to mourning some naked face.

Matthias Stomer, The supper at Emmaus. Circa 1640. Oil on canvas. 126 × 229 cm. CHF 300 000 / 500 000.

Stomer, one of the most important Dutch painters active in Italy in the first half of the 17th century, was an early follower of Caravaggio, and the master’s influence is clearly visible in the chiaroscuro and powerful lighting employed in this work. In a private Swiss collection since the early 1990s, it will now be offered for CHF 300 000 / 500 000 (lot 3020). Clara Peeters was a pioneer of the hunting still life and one of the most influential female artists of her time. Her still life with a peregrine falcon and its prey is witness to the popularity that falconry enjoyed among the nobility in the early 17th century, and a magnificent example of Peeter’s work (lot 3027, CHF 300 000 / 500 000).
