Dutch painter Alexander Gerhard Anton van Rappard’s oil "Cavaliers" highlights the
July estate fine art offerings. The painting depicts a rural maiden and three of her admirers
in a rustic dining area. Van Rappard’s paintings are quite rare due in part to his short life
of only 33 years. During his brief painting career van Rappard studied under Lawrence
Alma-Tadema and befriended Vincent van Gogh. The scarcity and quality of his works have
lead them to be highly prized in the contemporary market. Van Rappard’s "Cavaliers" will be
offered as lot 005 with an estimate of $8,000-12,000.
