Koller's September Auctions Present Old Masters and Historic Texts
Koller's September auctions will feature a diverse array of works spanning from Antiquity to the 19th century, including a Roman torso of Dionysus, Dutch and Flemish Golden Age paintings, and a rare first printing of the French 'Déclaration des droits de l’Homme et du citoyen'. A highlight is Pieter Brueghel the Younger's 'The Swan Inn' (lot 3018, estimate CHF 600,000/900,000), notable as an entirely original creation, unlike many of his compositions based on his father's works. Brueghel departs from his usual style with larger figures, drawing viewers into the lively scene. His brother, Jan Brueghel the Elder, is represented by an oil on copper dated 1606, depicting travellers pausing on their way to market (lot 3025, estimate CHF 350,000/500,000). The auctions offer a wide range of important works, reflecting Koller's commitment to presenting significant art and historical documents.
