NEW YORK, NY -- International competition at Doyle’s inaugural auction dedicated to Russian Paintings on June 10, 2025 sent prices soaring, driving the sale total to $1.5 million—more than double the high estimate. Bidders vied for important paintings and works on paper, including 19th century portraiture and landscapes, as well as Impressionist, Modern, and Post-War works.
Petr Konchalovsky - Sold for $540,250
The standout of the sale was Bridge with Horse, 1921, by Petr Konchalovsky (1876–1956), which sparked a trans-Atlantic bidding war. Estimated at $40,000–60,000, the painting ultimately sold to a European buyer for an astonishing $540,250. Bridge with Horse was painted during a pivotal period of the artist's career, turning away from studio painting and instead embracing the energy of the natural world. The painting boasts an impressive exhibition history, having been exhibited at Konchalovsky's solo shows at the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and in Paris in 1922 and 1925 respectively. The work was also one of thirteen paintings that Konchalovsky showed in the Soviet Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1924. Bridge with Horse was consigned to Doyle by the estate of a European collector, having remained in private hands for more than half a century.
Works by other artists also sold far above expectations. Konstantin Alexeevich Korovin’s (1861-1939) View of the River, 1932, estimated at $50,000-70,000 sold for $229,000, Alessio Issupoff’s (1889-1957) The Milliner, 1946, estimated at $40,000-60,000 realized $102,100, and Vassili Dmitrievich Polenov’s (1844-1927) verdant depiction of Spring, 1880, estimated at $15,000-25,000 achieved $95,750.
Impressive results were also achieved for works by Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky, Vassili Dmitrievich Polenov, Alexei Harlamoff, Julius Yulevich Von Klever, and Boris Israelevich Anisfeld, among other artists.
