One of the gems of the auction is the "Portrait of an old Jew" painted by Yudel pen, the artist, whose name is primarily associated with Marc Chagall. It pan became the first teacher in the future world-famous painter and had a great influence on him. Over the years, Chagall carried sincere gratitude and love to his teacher. "Know what, despite the fact that our paths in art are different, —, I love you, love You and always grateful", — wrote Chagall in 1933. The works of Yu Peng rarely appear on the art-рынке, and "portrait of an old Jew", the authenticity of which is confirmed by the experts of the National scientific-исследовательского Restoration Center of Ukraine, is of obvious interest.

Among the top-лотов auction deserves attention canvas "Interesting radio" Lyudmila Scuba-Карпас in the works which organically combined the realism of academic painting and of the Wanderers and the experience of the French Impressionists. Known immediately after the creation, the work of Ludmila Scuba-Карпас was exhibited at the exhibition of best diploma works and exhibited in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and other socialist countries of Europe. It is repeatedly reproduced in print, on postcards, on the covers of children's magazines. The author was able to reflect in their work the best side of Soviet reality and continuity with the great picturesque Russian culture. Art historian Elena Sadykova writes: "Children's images in figures L. Skubko-Карпас — is a phenomenon born through the convergence of maternal instinct and artistic flair. She had the rare gift to see the soul of the child to penetrate into the essence of his character." It is worth noting that so finely crafted large format (143 × 119) genre works of the first half of 1950-х years in our days rarely appear on the market.

Not only artistic, but historical value is the work of Igor Radomana "Moscow-столица", which became a sketch for the painting in the antechamber of the Soviet exhibition in Beijing.
