Auction: Fine Art: 19th Century & Early Modernism, Dec 9, 2025
NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle will hold an auction of Fine Art: 19th Century & Early Modernism on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 11am showcasing paintings, prints, and sculpture spanning the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The offerings span Academic and Barbizon works through Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to German Expressionism and early Modernism. With a wide range of artwork at accessible price points, the sale presents exciting opportunities for both seasoned buyers and new collectors alike!
Highlighting the sale was a work by French artist Jean Jules Louis Cavailles (1901-1977) that sailed past its estimate of $5,000-8,000 to achieve an impressive $41,600 amid trans-Atlantic bidding. A particularly delightful scene from The Collection of Lucille Coleman, Fenêtre a Cannes depicted a sunny harbor viewed through colorful flowers before a window. Lucille Coleman was a gracious presence in New York’s philanthropic and cultural circles. Known for her exceptional taste and quiet generosity, she brought elegance to every endeavor—from her thoughtful collecting to her steadfast support of charitable organizations. Among her many philanthropic commitments, she maintained a decades-long relationship with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, which honored her contributions by naming a residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Her collection reflected a life dedicated to beauty, legacy and meaningful engagement with the world around her.
