Sadly I bid more for lot #143 but the only way I have to pay was Paypal and apparently they would not accept this.

Eric,
I tried to find the results of the auction on the http://www.figurines-soldats.com/ website but I can't find it.
Is it too early - so they haven't communicate them - or I sought it on the wrong place?
Thank you.
Best regards-
sandor

Eugène Leliepvre did paint flats, not so many as Douchkine, so they are not easy to find
As he was a great professionnal artist he really painted flats as he painted on canvas and this gives a very particular style
It is part of my hobby to have figures from different painters
Here is an other set I bought painted by Burkhalter who worked before WWII; this set comes from the Felix Keller collection

Wow! those are beautiful sets Eric.
I didn't know Eugene Leliepvr did flats as well, I love and collect his prints, such talent!

A small report from this auction
There where a lot of wonderful figures painted by Douchkine and I could have bought all of them if only my wallet had been big enough
Prices stay rather high but a  less than at the july's auction
Lots were smaller so the final prices were lower
Even my figures kept a good level of price
I met some collectors friends among them some BFFS-IFFS members
I just had the chance to buy the lots I really wanted
Here are some pictures of three of them
The first one (Rome) is from Eugene Leliepvre whose way I like very much, maybe more than Douchkine
The two others are Douchkine's from the 1930-1940 years
One shows Burgundian banners, the other French cavalry standads at the battle of Saint Quentin

Thanks for the kind words, Ray
The owner of the collection was a very important french collector who died recently
He bought a lot of my figures when I sold them in several auctions in the 1980's
A number of his Douchkine's figures are in Alexander Baden's book
