A painting by Peter Paul Rubens owned by Princess Diana’s family and a J.M.W. Turner landscape are the top lots in Old Master sales that are expected to raise as much as 106.6 million pounds ($161 million) starting today.
The two paintings, not seen at auction for more than a century, will be offered by Christie’s International and Sotheby’s as London moves on from mixed results at sales of Impressionist and contemporary art.
