Pierre Auguste Renoir’s exuberant oil painting, Le Bouquet, 1910, is expected to bring $500,000+ as the top lot in Heritage Auctions’ American & European Art Signature® Art Auction, being held Nov. 8 at the company’s Design District Annex, 1518 Slocum Street.Le Bouquet, 1910, comes to auction from the family of famed Texas artist Lucien Abrams, who acquired it in September 1933 from Renoir’s dealer, Durand-Ruel, in New York, who obtained it directly from the artist’s family. The still life has been in continuous family ownership to this day and is in an outstanding state of preservation.
