Galerie Tanakaya, Paris, will present Edo Hyakkei - Horikiri No Hanashôbu, 1857, by leading 19th Century Japanese designer Utagawa Hiroshige (Japan, 1797-1858).

Kallos Gallery, London, will showcase Head Fragment of a Polykleitan Youth, 500 AD, attributed to Polykleitos (Greece). The Roman marble head fragment of the Polykleitan youth encapsulates the absolute physical ideal of a young man of mid-5th century BC Greece, the height of Athenian classicism for which Polykleitan sculpture was so revered.
