GUIDE FOR ABSENTEE
BIDDERS
If you are unable to attend an auction in
person, you may give instructions to the
Bid Department of Sotheby’s (France)
S.A.S. to bid on your behalf by completing
the form overleaf.
This service is free and condential.
Please record accurately the lot
numbers, descriptions and the top
hammer price you are willing to pay for
each lot.
We will endeavour to purchase the lot(s)
of your choice for the lowest price possible
and never for more than the top amount
you indicate.
“Buy”, unlimited bids or “plus one” bids
will not be accepted.
Alternative bids can be placed by using
the word “OR” between lot numbers.
Bids must be placed in the same order
as in the catalogue.
This form should be used for one sale
only - please indicate the sale number, title
and date on the form.
Please place your bids as early as
possible, as in the event of identical bids
the earliest received will take precedence.
To ensure a satisfactory service to bidders,
please ensure that we receive your written
bids at least 24 hours before the sale.
Where appropriate, your bids will be
rounded down to the nearest amount
consistent with the auctioneer’s bidding
increments.
Absentee bids, when placed by
telephone, are accepted only at the
caller’s risk and must be conrmed by
letter or fax to the Bid Department on
+33 (0)1 53 05 5293/5294.
Please note that the execution of
written and telephone bids is oered as an
additional service for no extra charge at the
bidder’s risk and is undertaken subject to
Sotheby’s other commitments at the time
of the auction; Sotheby’s therefore cannot
accept liability for failure to place such bids,
whether through negligence or otherwise.
Telephone bidding will be recorded to
ensure any misunderstanding over bidding
during the auctions.
Successful bidders will receive an
invoice detailing their purchases and giving
instructions for payment and clearance
of goods.
All bids are subject to the Conditions
of Sale applicable to the sale, a copy of
which is available from Sotheby’s oces
or by telephoning +33 (0)1 53 05 53 05.
The Guide for Prospective Buyers is also
set out in the sale catalogue and includes
details of payment methods and shipment.

carefully inspect the lots. Prospective
buyers may contact the experts at the
auction in order to obtain information
on the condition of the lots. No claim
regarding the condition of the lots will be
admissible after the auction.

INFORMATION TO BUYERS
All property is being oered under French
Law and the Conditions of Sale printed in
this catalogue in respect of online bidding
via the internet, the BIDnow Conditions

www.sothebys.com for the most up to
date cataloguing of the property in this
catalogue.
Provenance In certain circumstances,
Sotheby’s may print in the catalogue
the history of ownership of a work of
art if such information contributes to
scholarship or is otherwise well known
and assists in distinguishing the work of
art. However, the identity of the seller or
previous owners may not be disclosed
for a variety of reasons. For example,
such information may be excluded to
accommodate a seller’s request for
condentiality or because the identity of
prior owners is unknown given the age of
the work of art.
Buyer’s Premium According to
Sotheby’s Conditions of Sale printed
in this catalogue, the buyer shall pay to
Sotheby’s and Sotheby’s shall retain
for its own account a buyer’s premium,

total purchase price.
The buyer’s premium is 25% of result of any absentee bids which you

Should lots sold at auction not be
collected by the buyer immediately after
the auction, those lots will, after 30 days
following the auction sale (including the
date of the sale), be stored at the buyer’s
risk and expense and then transferred to
a storage facility designated by Sotheby’s
at the buyer’s risk and expense.
All charges due to the storage facility
shall be met in full by the buyer before
collection of the property by the buyer.
Insurance Sotheby’s accepts liability for
loss or damage to lots for a maximum
period of 30 (thirty) calendar days after
the date of the auction (including the
date of the auction). After that period,
the purchased lots are at the Buyer’s sole
responsibility for insurance.
Export of cultural goods The export of
any property from France or import into
any other country may be subject to one
or more export or import licences being
granted.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain
any relevant export or import licence.
Buyers are reminded that property
purchased must be paid for immediately
after the auction.
The denial of any export or import licence
required or any delay in obtaining such
licence cannot justify the cancellation of
the sale or any delay in making payment
of the total amount due.
Sold property will only be delivered to
the buyer or sent to the buyer at their
expense, following his/her written
instructions, once the export formalities
are complete.
Sotheby’s, upon request, may apply for
a licence to export your property outside
France (a “Passport”). An EU Licence is
necessary to export from the European
Union cultural goods subject to the EU
Regulation on the export of cultural
property (EEC No. 3911/92, Ocial
Journal No. L395 of 31/12/92).
A French Passport is necessary to move
from France to another Member State of
the EU cultural goods valued at or above
the relevant French Passport threshold.
A French Passport may also be
necessary to export outside the
European Union cultural goods valued
at or above the relevant French Passport
limit but below the EU Licence limit.
The following is a selection of some of the
categories and a summary of the limits
above which either an EU licence or a
French Passport is required:
• Watercolours, gouaches and pastels
more than 50 years old €30,000
• Drawings more than 50 years old
€15,000
• Pictures and paintings in any medium
on any material more than 50 years old
(other than watercolours, gouaches
and pastels above mentioned)
€150,000
• Original sculpture or statuary and
copies produced by the same process
as the original more than 50 years old
€50,000
• Books more than 100 years old singly
or in collection €50,000

• Original prints, engravings, serigraphs
and lithographs with their respective
plates and original posters €15,000
• Photographs, lms and negatives there

• Archaeological items more than 100
years old irrespective of value
• Dismembered monuments more than
100 years old irrespective of value
• Archives more than 50 years old
irrespective of value
• Any other antique items more than 50
years old €50,000
Please note that French regulation
n°2004-709 dated 16th July 2004
modifying French regulation n°93-124
dated 29th January 1993, indicates that
«for the delivery of the French passport,
the appendix of the regulation foresees
that for some categories, thresholds will
be dierent depending where the goods
will be sent to, outside or inside the EU».
We recommend that you keep any
document relating to the import and
export of property, including any licences,
as these documents may be required by
the relevant authority.
Please note that when applying for a
certicate of free circulation for the
property, the authority issuing such
certicate may express its intention
to acquire the property within the
conditions provided by law.
Endangered Species Items made of
or incorporating animal material such
as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, etc.,
irrespective of age or value, require a
specic licence from the French Ministry
of the Environment prior to leaving
France. Please note that the ability to
obtain an export licence or certicate
does not ensure the ability to obtain an
import licence or certicate in another
country, and vice versa. For example,
it is illegal to import African elephant
ivory into the United States. Sotheby’s
suggests that buyers check with their
own government regarding wildlife
import requirements prior to placing
a bid. It is the buyer’s responsibility to
obtain any export or import licences
and/or certicates as well as any other
required documentation.
Please note that Sotheby’s is not able
to assist buyers with the shipment of
any lots containing ivory and/or other
restricted materials into the United
States. A buyer’s inability to export or
import these lots cannot justify a delay
in payment or a sale’s cancellation.
Pre-emption right The French state
retains a pre-emption right on certain
works of art and archives which may be
exercised during the auction. In case of
conrmation of the pre-emption right
within fteen (15) days from the date
of the sale, the French state shall be
subrogated in the buyer’s position.
Considered as works of art, for purposes
of pre-emption rights are the following
categories:
(1) Archaeological objects more than 100
years old found during land based and
underwater searches of archaeological
sites and collections;
(2) Pieces of decoration issuing from
dismembered buildings;
(3) Watercolours, gouaches and pastels,
drawings, collages, prints, posters and
their frames;
(4) Photographs, lms and negatives
thereof irrespective of the number;
(5) Films and audio-visual works;
(6) Original sculptures or statuary or
copies obtained by the same process

included in the above categories 3) to 6);
(8) Furniture and decorative works of art;

GLOSSAIRE DES TERMES
Toute indication concernant
l’identication de l’artiste, l’attribution,
l’origine, la date, l’âge, la provenance et
l’état est l’expression d’une opinion et non
pas une constatation de fait. Pour former
son opinion, Sotheby’s se réserve le droit
de consulter tout expert ou autorité qu’elle
estime digne de conance et de suivre le
jugement émis par ce tiers.
Nous vous conseillons de lire
attentivement les Conditions Générales
de Vente publiées sur la Plateforme
Internet avant de prendre part à une
vente, en particulier les Articles III (Etat
des biens vendus), V (Informations sur la
Vente en Ligne) et XVIII (Résolution de la
vente d’un Lot pour défaut d’authenticité
de ce Lot).
Les exemples suivants explicitent la
terminologie utilisée pour la présentation
des lots.
1. « Hubert Robert » :
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre de
l’artiste. Lorsque le(s) prénom(s) est
inconnu, des astérisques suivis du nom
de l’artiste, précédés ou non d’une
initiale, indiquent que, à notre avis,
l’oeuvre est de l’artiste cité.
Le même eet s’attache à l’emploi
du terme « par » ou « de » suivie de la
désignation de l’auteur.
2. « Attribué à … Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, l'oeuvre a été exécutée
pendant la période de production de
l'artiste mentionné et des présomptions
sérieuses désignent celui-ci comme
l'auteur vraisemblable, cependant
la certitude est moindre que dans la
précédente catégorie.
3. « Atelier de … Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre
exécutée par une main inconnue de
l’atelier ou sous la direction de l’artiste.
4. « Entourage de … Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre d’une
main non encore identiée, distincte de
celle de l’artiste cité mais proche de lui,
sans être nécessairement un élève.
5. « Suiveur de … Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre d’un
artiste travaillant dans le style de l’artiste,
contemporain ou proche de son époque,
mais pas nécessairement son élève.
6. « Dans le goût de … A la manière de …
Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre dans
le style de l’artiste mais exécuté à une
date postérieure à la période d’activité
de l’artiste.
7. « D’après … Hubert Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une copie, qu’elle
qu’en soit la date, d’une oeuvre connue
de l’artiste.
8. « Signé … Daté … Inscrit… Hubert
Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre signée
ou datée par l’artiste ou sur laquelle il a
inscrit son nom.
9. « Porte une signature … Porte une
date … Porte une inscription … Hubert
Robert »
A notre avis, il s’agit d’une oeuvre dont la
signature, la date ou l’inscription ont été
portées par une autre main que celle de
l’artiste.
Les dimensions sont données dans l’ordre
suivant : la hauteur précède la largeur.
