Bruun Rasmussen is holding a sale of Russian works of art in Copenhagen on June 9 featuring material from various private collections, including that of Norwegian commercial attaché Richard Zeiner- Henriksen (1878-1965).
A keen collector of Russian art, especially icons, he spent two lengthy periods in Russia: from 1900-17 and 1922-31. During the second sojourn he lived in the Saltykov Palace in St Petersburg, where parts of the House of Saltykov’s collection were still preserved.
