  • PRE-RAPHAELITE PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS AT CHRISTIE’S

    Works by Rosetti, Burne-Jones, Poynter and Leighton are among a stellar collection of Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian drawings and paintings at Christie’s in London on June 16.  They are from one of the very best collections in private hands with museum-quality works, some of which have not been seen for decades.

    The collection features 45 works and is expected to realise in the region of £2 million. One of eight works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), Beatrice: A Portrait of Jane Morris (£700,000-1 million) leads the group.  Interest in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood has been stimulated by the 2012 exhibition at The Tate.
