Camille Claudel (1864–1943) — La Jeunesse et L’Âge mûr, later known as L’Âge mûr, model created in 1899. Illustration from La Sélection no. 51.

This Sunday's Private Viewing presents a refined and unpublished architectural drawing by Jan Goeree, Interior of Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerk, executed around 1724 as a preparatory study for an engraving. Combining red chalk, pen and black ink with delicate grey wash, the sheet captures the soaring Gothic interior with remarkable precision, while the animated figures in the foreground bring the space vividly to life. Alongside it, this edition gathers notable upcoming lots, last week's standout result and the latest museum news.
