Restituted Largillière to Star in Sotheby’s Master Paintings Sale

Following the restitution in early 2021 of Nicolas de Largillière’s 18th century masterwork Madame de Parabère (Portrait présumé, or Vertumne et Pomone) or Portrait of a Lady as Pomona by the Dresden State Art Collections to the heirs of the renowned Jewish collector Jules Strauss, Sotheby’s will offer the painting as a highlight of the upcoming Master Paintings & Sculpture Auction on 27 January in New York, and will mark one of the most significant works by the artist ever offered at auction (estimate $1/1.5 million).
