Sotheby's Old Master Paintings / Evening Including important Turney Watercolours from the Guy and Myriam ULLENS COLLECTION. London 4 July 2007
One of the best art catalogs that I've ever come across. - Size is larger than standard, 11.6 by 9 inches. - 227 official pages (altogether there are slightly more) - Heavy - Good quality paper - Condition is overall okay to good.
