The Paul Goute Collection, Modern and Contemporary Masters at Drouot
O n Friday, 20 November 2026, Hôtel Drouot will host an exceptional sale of modern and contemporary art, featuring a distinguished collection assembled by Paul Goute and presented by Mirabaud-Mercier.
Enriched over time through personal encounters, the collection reveals the banker’s discerning eye and refined judgement, as well as the artistic affinities and friendships that shaped his choices. Preserved by his descendants for four generations, it now brings together works by leading figures in French art, including Albert Marquet and Eugène Boudin.
Brittany, with its moorlands, villages and sailing vessels, occupies a prominent place in the collection, featuring paintings by André Dauchez, Lucien Simon, René Quivillic, Willem Van Hasselt and Étienne Bouchaud.
Three works by Albert Marquet, a close friend of Paul Goute for many years, stand out as highlights of the collection. Two of them bear labels from Galerie Druet, a leading Parisian gallery in the early twentieth century.

Among them is La Rhune, vue de Saint-Jean-de-Luz (1928), a striking composition exhibited at Galerie Druet shortly after its creation, as part of the exhibition Albert Marquet, œuvres récentes 1926–1928. This exceptional work is estimated at €60,000–80,000.
The collector’s aesthetic sensibility and particular fondness for the silhouettes of boats and ever-changing light emerge throughout the collection. This is exemplified by L’avant-port de Honfleur (c. 1858–1860), in which Eugène Boudin, a pioneer of plein-air landscape painting and a forerunner of Impressionism, demonstrates his remarkable ability to capture the atmosphere of harbours and the subtle effects of light. The work is estimated at €12,000–15,000.
