 Bonnard painted Nature Mort Aux Peches in 1931 |
Bonnard was a French artist best known for his role, in the 1880s, as a founding member of Les Nabis - a collective of post-impressionists who laid the foundations for the development of abstraction.
Nature Mort Aux Peches follows on from the fragmentation of the group in the early 1900s and is a prime example of the intimate, quiet themes and vibrant colouration that defined his later period.
His record price at auction was set at Christie's New York in 2011, for Terrasse a Vernon, which sold for $8.4m.
Fernand Leger's composition (Nature Morte) will carry an estimate of $400,000-600,000.
