The Arts Council's Private Treaty Sales page has just uploaded a notice of what seems the potential sale of Claude Lorrain's Landscape with Rural Dance. The painting has been part of the collection of the Dukes of Bedford at Woburn Abbey since the mid-eighteenth century. The website explains that 'The following painting is to be sold no sooner than the 1st July 2025', however, no precise details regarding the value of the work have been provided.

More news as and when it appears.
