Womblegrinch's Box of Inspiration
On Saturdays I have a bookstall in Hackney, London, where I sell art auction catalogues. I have thousands and, therefore, hundreds of thousands of images of artworks that are often only found in the catalogues. I plan to share some of them to introduce you to art and artists that you may not be familiar with. Don't forget to look in the archive - there are over 3000 paintings to peruse. P.S. the books are only £1.00 each or less. Come on down to Netil Market, I'm there to be exploited - but, alas, not at the moment while the market is closed!

Franz Xaver Kosler (1864-1905) - A market scene in Cairo
Oil on canvas. 35.6 x 52 inches, 90.5 x 132 cm.
Estimate: €80,000-120,000.
To be sold Dorotheum, Vienna, 25 April 2024.
Dorotheum has catalogued the dome at the back as being part of the Sultaniyya Mausoleum, but I don't think that is correct. There are a lot of mausoleums in Cairo. Mr Google is pointing this to be the dome of the Salihiyya Madrasa - but what do I know.
