Pair of Oil Paintings on Slate, Italy, Early 17th Century

“Christ in the Garden” (Slides 1-5)

This depiction of Christ in the Garden represents the night Jesus Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his arrest and crucifixion. In this painting, Christ is visited in a blaze of heavenly light by an angel carrying a chalice. 
 
Mother of Sorry “Mater Dolorosa” (Slides 6-8)

This depiction of the Virgin Mary as the Mother of Sorrows (Latin: Matera Dolorosa) reflects her spiritual martyrdom and deep maternal grief. She is depicted with a dagger in her heart, against a deeply shadowed, dark background, isolating her figure in the depth of her emotional pain.

Both works are attributed to an Italian master from the early 17th century, likely in the area of Verona. They are exceptionally well preserved and in good condition.

‘Standard’ Floor Lamp by Pierre Jeanneret, India, 1955

Pierre Jeanneret (1896–1967) was a renowned Swiss architect and designer, known for his collaboration with his cousin Le Corbusier. Together, they pioneered modernist architecture and furniture design, creating iconic works defined by functionalism and minimalist aesthetics. Jeanneret is especially celebrated for his innovative use of wood and tubular steel, producing timeless designs that balance industrial materials with organic forms.

This lamp and side table was created as part of Jeanneret’s work for the modernist city of Chandigarh, India, one of his most significant contributions to furniture and urban planning. Designed specifically for the climate and culture of the region, these works emphasized simplicity, durability, and elegance. This design was used in the Supreme Court and the University of Chandigarh.

Jeanneret’s work remains celebrated worldwide for its lasting influence on twentieth-century design and modernism.

Condition: Good. Restored and rewired.

“Chinoise” sculpture, 1913, by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942)

Born into immense privilege as the daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney charted an unconventional path for a woman of her time by pursuing a career as a sculptor. She became one of the foremost patrons of American art in the early twentieth century, her dedication to supporting artists eventually leading to the founding of the Whitney Museum, while her own commissions include the Titanic Memorial in Washington, D.C., a World War I memorial in Brittany, and a monument to Buffalo Bill in Wyoming.

Among her earliest achievements is this marvelous gilded plaster self-portrait, “Chinoise” (1913). This art nouveau work is the original plaster she gilded by hand. In 1914, she had two bronzes and one marble made from the piece — the marble now resides in the Whitney Museum’s permanent collection.

We were recently reunited with this beautiful sculpture of Gertrude after she spent 3 weeks at the guilder where she was repaired, cleaned, and, waxed. We missed her very much but are glad to see that she is looking radiant as ever.

We invite you to marvel at her beauty yourself in our booth on the 10th floor of the !
