HENRI III. P.S. "Henry". St-Maur des Fosséz, June 27, 1586. Piece on oblong vellum (34 x 24.5 cm), titled on verso. Under two-sided glass, modern gilt frame. Very fine document signed by King Henri III, granting a favor to Antoine d'Estrées for the exploitation of part of the Compiègne forest: "(...) ayant esgard aux bons et recommandables services que le Sr d'Estrées chevallier de ses Ordres cons. en son Conseil d'Estat, cappitaine de cinquante hommes d'armes de ses ordonnances et son lieutenant général au gouvernement de Picardye, a des longtemps faict au feuz roys ses prédécesseurs (...); aussy pour luy donner moyen de supporter la despence qu'il est contrainct faire, Sa Majesté luy a accordé et faict don de toutes et chacunes les souches des arbres et tonture des layes qui sont en la forest de Cuise près Compiègne, garde de Jehan Barlet Glorieux et Loys Le Maire, sergens, suivant le bail qui en a été faict des boys vanduz par le Grand M[aître] des Eaux et Forests de France (...)." Son of the Grand Master of Artillery of France and Catherine de Bourbon, Antoine d'Estrées (before 1529-1609) was a gentleman of the Duke of Alençon, when Henri III appointed him governor of Pierrefond (1575), seneschal and then governor of Boulonnais (1575-78). Chevalier de St-Michel, he was created Chevalier du St-Esprit in the 1st promotion at the Order's creation in 1578, and obtained from the King the erection of his seigneury of Cœuvres into a marquisate (1585), as well as the lieutenancy general in Picardy in March 1586. When Henri III was assassinated, he immediately offered his services to the King of Navarre, and settled in his government at La Fère. His defense of Noyon against Mayenne in 1593 led to his appointment as Lieutenant General of Paris and the Ile de France. One of his daughters, Gabrielle, was Henri IV's famous mistress.

John-Franklin Koenig (1924-2008) Porte d'Armor [diptych] 1992 Mixed media on canvas, one signed, titled and dated on back Dimensions of each canvas 150 x 50 cm Overall dimensions 151.50 x 101 cm Condition report: Framed in the same frame John Franklin Koenig, an American artist, discovered France with the Allied Liberation troops during the Second World War. He settled in Paris in 1948 and remained there for over thirty years. In the 1950s, he helped found the Galerie Arnaud, and at the same time edited the magazine Cimaise. Faithful to the practice of non-figurative art, he attracted the attention of art critic Michel Ragon, who considered him a major figure in abstract landscape painting, alongside Martin Barré and James Guitet. According to Pierre Restany, he is one of the few designers of imaginary spaces. His works are now housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Angers and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes. (MLD)

ALFONS BORRELL PALAZÓN (Barcelona, 1931-2020). Untitled. 1998. Mixed media on thick paper. Signed and dated. Measurements: 74 x 112 cm; 82 x 120 cm (frame). Alfons Borrell is considered one of the maximum exponents of the lyrical abstraction in Spain. In this composition the influence of Rothko and his floating color fields can be appreciated. Starting from symmetries and gestural abstractions, his work progressively simplified. With large monochrome surfaces - color has a structural protagonism in Borrell's work - often centered on a single geometric figure or on a graphic sign or dimensioning, the lyricism and austerity of this painting brings it closer to the interior or introspective landscape than to the will of representation. Born in Barcelona but settled in Sabadell since he was a child, Alfons Borrell trained in the fifties with Hermen Anglada Camarasa in Mallorca and at the Escola de Belles Arts in Barcelona. In 1960 he was part of the Grup Gallot, a collective created in Sabadell that practiced actions halfway between action painting and surrealist automatism that questioned the limits of authorship and the pictorial medium. In 1971, he participated in the creation of Sala Tres in Sabadell. A close friend of Joan Brossa and artists such as Perejaume, throughout his extensive career, his pictorial abstraction has been consolidating as an expressive corpus of great intensity and solidity. Since his first solo exhibitions in the late fifties, Borrell has presented his work in prominent art venues in the country and also in France, Germany, the United States and Japan. The art critic Alexandre Cirici invited him to participate in the inaugural exhibition of the first Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona in the dome of the Coliseum Cinema in 1960. In 1978, he was part of the exhibition Seny i rauxa. 11 artistes catalans at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Among the numerous retrospectives of his work, those presented at the Centre Cultural Tecla Sala in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (2006), the Museu d'Art de Sabadell (2007) and the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona (2015) stand out.

EDUARDO ARROYO (Madrid, 1937-2018). Untitled, 2001. Collage and ink on paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 24 x 31,5 cm; 33,5 x 43,5 cm (frame). Eduardo Arroyo is known for his series on bees or bulls in which he adds a folkloric or anthropological component to the image, sometimes even trying to ridicule Spanish clichés. Painter, sculptor and engraver, Arroyo stands out as an important figure within the neo-figurativist movement. After starting his career in journalism, he began to paint in the late fifties, appearing for the first time in the Salón de Pintura Joven in 1960. At the beginning of the sixties his plastic vocabulary moved under the North American influence of pop art, and in 1964 his break with informal art became definitive. In 1982 he was awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts, and anthological exhibitions were dedicated to him at the National Library in Madrid and the Pompidou Center in Paris. Currently, Arroyo is represented at the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C. and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Lille (France), among others.
