This February’s Master Paintings sale features an exciting assortment of works spanning the late-14th through early-20th centuries. The auction is led by an exceptional oil sketch by Sir Peter Paul Rubens; an early work by the Renaissance virtuoso, Raphael; and Pieter Brueghel the Younger’s Nest Robber, one of his rarest compositions. A superb portrait by Cornelis de Vos and several pristine still lifes from the collection of Hans and Marion König anchor the sale, which concludes with August Strindberg’s 1901 masterpiece, Lighthouse II.&nbsp;
