Winter Landscapes, Lineage & Modern Expression

On December 30, 2025, Rhoswens presents Modern & Traditional Art Collection, a curated sale of original oils, works on paper, and mixed-media compositions spanning classical and contemporary styles. The auction brings together landscapes, figurative works, and decorative compositions, offering collectors a thoughtful selection that bridges art-historical traditions with modern expression. With accessible price points and a range of visual approaches, the sale is well suited to both emerging and established collectors.

A defining strength of the collection is its exploration of artistic lineage and evolution, particularly through works connected to the Pissarro family. Across generations, these artists have engaged with landscape, movement, and color in ways that reflect both shared heritage and individual interpretation. Complementing these works are contemporary paintings that emphasize mood, texture, and visual presence, creating a balanced and cohesive sale.

Featured Art Highlights:

Paul-Émile Pissarro, Neige at Saint-Rémy (Lot 7500)
This oil on canvas captures a quiet winter scene rendered with sensitivity and depth. Paul-Émile Pissarro, grandson of Camille Pissarro, maintained strong ties to Impressionist principles while developing a refined modern style of his own. In Neige at Saint-Rémy, nuanced tonal transitions and textured brushwork evoke both the stillness of snowfall and the enduring appeal of landscape painting rooted in observation and atmosphere.

Estimate: $8,000 - $10,000

Lélia Pissarro, Winter Season  (Lot 7508)
Lélia Pissarro’s Winter Season offers a contemporary interpretation of the landscape genre, balancing expressive color with compositional harmony. While continuing the family’s long-standing engagement with nature, her work feels distinctly current, emphasizing rhythm, emotion, and painterly intuition. This painting’s approachable subject matter and strong visual presence make it an appealing acquisition for collectors interested in living artists with established international recognition.

Estimate: $8,000 - $10,000

Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro, Les Ballets Russes  (Lot 7509)
Referencing the legendary Ballets Russes, this gouache and watercolor on paper captures movement and theatricality through fluid line and vibrant color. Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro is known for compositions that translate performance into visual form, and this work exemplifies his dynamic approach. Works on paper such as this offer collectors an opportunity to acquire expressive, art-historically informed pieces that are both intimate and visually engaging.

Estimate: $8,000 - $10,000

George Manzana Pissarro, Riverbank (Lot 7517)
Riverbank is a mixed-media work by Georges Manzana Pissarro (1871–1961), son of Camille Pissarro, whose practice bridged Impressionist heritage and early modern experimentation. The composition depicts a riverbank landscape rendered with layered materials, notably incorporating gold and silver leaf that add luminosity and surface complexity to the scene. Riverbank offers collectors an intimate yet visually rich example of Manzana Pissarro’s distinctive approach to landscape; one that emphasizes mood and decorative refinement over literal representation.

Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000

Valentin Vorobiev, Untitled (Lot 7523)
Providing a strong modern counterpoint within the sale, Valentin Vorobiev’s Untitled is an oil on canvas that prioritizes atmosphere and form over narrative. Its restrained yet impactful composition makes it well suited for contemporary interiors, offering versatility alongside visual strength. Vorobiev’s work adds balance to the collection, appealing to collectors seeking modern pieces with lasting aesthetic appeal.

Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000

By bringing together works connected by theme, lineage, and visual resonance rather than strict period boundaries, this sale encourages collectors to explore across styles with confidence. From Impressionist-rooted landscapes to contemporary expressions of form and mood, the collection offers a nuanced perspective on how artistic traditions continue to evolve.

The Modern & Traditional Art Collection will take place on December 30, 2025, offering an inviting opportunity to close the year with a meaningful acquisition; whether building a foundation or adding depth to an existing collection.
