Hammer highlights
More 19th century art was offered in London when over 120 lots of European and Orientalist pictures went under the hammer at Christie’s.
A private collection of 46 Orientalist works opened the July 13 sale in King Street, contributing £1.67m to the overall £3.91m total. Among the 35 lots from the collection to get away was At Prayer, a meditative and boldly coloured work by the revered Austrian Orientalist, Ludwig Deutsch (1855-1935).
