Carlo Maratti (b.1625 - d.1713), three versions of 'Portrait of Maria Maddalena Rospigliosi Panciatichi (b.1645 - d.1695), the niece of Pope Clement IX'; variously attributed circa 1665 to 1711 for the Christies work, c.1667 to 1670 for the Barberini version, to c.1697 for the Louvre version, all oil on canvas, Italian.

The first, from the Louvre, Paris; the second from the Palazzo Barberini, Rome; the third, sold at Christies, London, c.2012, for 79,250 GBP. The Barberini portrait is considered the earliest, according to Christies, with the remainder being by the hand of the studio, but this is unconfirmed.

The Louvre example was acquired amongst multiple pieces for 20,000 francs in 1822, kept at St. Cloud. The Barberini example was recorded in an inventory of the Casa Barberini c.1844, shown in the Galleria Borghese in 1931. The Christies version likely descends from the collection of the Duke Giovanni Battista Rospigliosi, of the Palazzo Rospigliosi, before 1713, whose uncle was Pope Clement IX.

The Huntsmen’s Lunch (1922)

Raffaello Sorbi was a 19th-20th century Florentine painter, specializing in narrative painting.

As a young man, he studied design in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Florence; then painting under professor Antonio Ciseri. By 18 years, he had completed his first major work: Corso Donati mortally wounded is transported by Monks of San Salvi to their Abbey (see gallery). The painting won an award at the Florentine Triennale contest of 1861. He completed commissions for patrons in America and England. In 1863, he won a contest in Rome with the essay piece Savonarola explains the Bible to some friends in the Convent of San Marco. He was unable to make use of the stipend attached to the prize. In Florence, he exhibited a work depicting Piccarda Donati kidnapped from the Convent of Santa Chiara, by her brother Corso. He completed a St Catherine of Siena before an angry Florentine mob after concluding peace with the Pope, by commission for signore marchese Carlo Torrigiani. His painting of Imelda de' Lambertazzi e Bonifazio Geremei (lovers from Donizetti's opera) was sold to Wilhelm Metzler of Frankfort, Germany. In 1869, the sculptor Giovanni Duprè visited his studio, and commissioned a Phidias sculpts the Minerva Statue.

After this work, Sorbi produced mainly small canvases, mostly sold through the Goupil Gallery of Paris. Many are of antique Roman (Neo-Pompeian) or from the historical Tuscan past: Regatta in the Arno: il Girotondo; Il Decamerone; The Florentine Concert : Il Triclinio; The Vestal Virgins exit the Amphitheater after the spectacle: Il venditore di terre cotte; A family scene under a peristyle; Cornelia mother of the Gaius and Tiberius Gracchus. Other paintings are genre scenes in 18th-century dress and finery. Among his works, Lo Corsa delle carrette nel Circo and il serraglio agli sposi, were bought by the Silley of London, and Le Maggiolate bought by Signor Egisto Vannucci of Florence. Many of his works were acquired by English collectors. Among his works are a series of games, including Il Giuoco delle Bocce, delle Carte, del Pallone, della Ruzzola, and della Mora. He painted a Convalesence of Dante. In 1870, at the Mostra of Fine Arts di Parma, he displayed La strada. Sorbi became academician at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts of Florence and resident professor and honorary associate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Urbino.

Sorbi died in Florence on December 19, 1931.

Bacchanal (1896). Raffaello Sorbi (Italian, 1844-1931). Oil on canvas.

Joyous skipping, exuberant dancing and cheerful models are ever present in Sorbi’s high spirted scenes of Easter processions and harvest dances. These were idealised interpretations of country life so sought after by the artist's many admirers and collectors. Such high spirits are translated into a classical setting in the present lot. Ladies skip with tambourines and cymbals and making merry music whilst the bacchanalia ritual gets underway. A garlanded impish Bacchus takes his place a little further back, riding a donkey in the midst of the procession. The raised Thyrsus symbolise hedonism, prosperity and pleasure.
