LA SÉLECTION · No. 48

The Sunday perspectiveLE CERCLE
Few works could better embody the month of August, at least as it is experienced in the art market, than the drawing presented in this week's Private Viewing: beauty suspended in an atmosphere of perfect calm. As auction rooms grow quiet and the pace of the market briefly slows, Henri Lebasque's Reclining Female Nudes with a Parasol offers an image of repose, warmth and unhurried contemplation.
