Sotheby's just came out with a new catalog, very little pre-1700 stuff, but lots of other great paintings. Here are my favorites so far.

HENRI CARO-DELVAILLE

FRANÇOIS BRUNERY
1849-1926
THE CONVERSATION
[MM Comment: I imagine the conversation going something like this "You mean he's been sending you love letters too? But... But... How dispicable! How shall we ruin him? Or should we take this outside and have it out?]

LÉON MARIE CONSTANT DANSAERT
1830-1909
THE FINAL HAND
[MM comment: Nothing like leaving a picture of the crime scene for posterity]
