Old Master and 19th Century Paintings and Drawings

17th-19th Century European Schools, Studios, Great Artists & Petits Maîtres

We have been staging specialist catalogued sales of Old Master paintings and drawings since  2002.

Our success in this field mirrors the development of pre-20th century art in general at Artcurial, as shown by the exceptional results posted by our Fine Arts department in 2006, when overall sales doubled to reach €13.8m.
