Sotheby's, New York. A good bid for one of Bakalowicz's best paintings, the subject being taken from the first chapter of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel "La Dame de Monsoreau". The painter chose to illustrate one of the lavish parties organised by King Henri III for the wedding of one of his favourites, Saint Luc. Bussy d'Amboise once came to the Louvre Palace dressed very plainly with twelve valets in gold liveries. When asked why he was dressed so poorly in comparison with his liveries, he responded "When valets dress like gentlemen, the only thing left to do for gentlemen is to dress like valets", a comment directed towards the rest of the favourites who were dressed in their finest garments. Bussy caused another stir during that wedding and was forced into a temporary exile. Bakalowicz studied at the Warsaw Academy before settling in France to establish a career as an artist. He made his debut at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1863, where he was to regularly exhibit his historical paintings and high society portraits. This work carried a pre-sale estimate of US $ 80,000 to 120,000.
