In the realm of online bargains, an astute buyer stumbled upon what could be described as the deal of a lifetime in 2021. Initially labeled as a "fake" Degas, a pastel drawing caught the attention of a savvy thrifter. Upon closer examination with the assistance of expert Michel Schulman, it was determined that this masterpiece was likely éloge du maquillage (In praise of cosmetics) (1876), a renowned brothel scene painted by Edgar Degas, which had been missing for several decades.

A Renaissance painting once stolen from a nobleman’s home in southwest England and found at a bus stop in London may sell for $32 million at an art auction next month. Tiziano Vecellio’s early masterpiece “The Rest on the Flight Into Egypt” has had many homes since it was painted, presumably in the first decade of the 16th century, according to the auction house Christie’s. The painting depicts Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus resting while en route to Egypt to seek safety from King Herod, who Joseph dreamed wanted to kill Jesus.

Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Evening auction on June 25 achieved a total north of $105 million after being estimated to fetch between $88 million and $125 million. Amid recent economic and political uncertainties in London, art sales and records have been slowing down. In spite of the softening market, there were some eventful moments on the night, one of which was the sale of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Bouquet de lilas (1878), which was acquired after a ten-minute bidding war, fetching around $8.7 million, doubling its high estimate. The work was hitting the auction block for the first time in nearly four decades.
