### Editor’s picks
The influence of Titian can be seen in this 16th-century painting of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel by his pupil, Paris Bordone. It is a fragment of a much larger work, probably depicting Venus reclining in a landscape. Venetian scenes of this kind often included a pet dog curled up in the corner to add a playful note of the everyday to the mythological subject matter Estimate: €15,000-20,000 21‌ November‌, Paris

Moon Over Lake is an evocative nocturne by the Chinese artist and scholar Huang Yongyu, who died in 2023 at the age of 98. The brilliantly atmospheric work, painted in 1985, depicts an island town where clustered wooden buildings, aglow with lanterns, cast reflections on the water, while a pale moon floats over the horizon Estimate: HK$800,000-1,600,000 28‌ November‌, Hong Kong

Spessartine stones like the one in the centre of this Van Cleef & Arpels multi-gem cocktail ring are affectionately nicknamed ‘Mandarin’ or even ‘Fanta’ garnets, thanks to their vivid orange colour. This superb example is set among pear-shaped chrysoprase and marquise-cut coral cabochons, carved turquoise, onyx plaques and both round and square diamonds Estimate: CHF 10,000-15,000 12‌ November‌, Geneva

Georges Valmier had been an exponent of Cubism for more than a decade when he painted La fille de l’artiste, a 1924 portrait of his daughter. But unlike Braque and Picasso, the originators of the movement, Valmier preferred expressive colours to muted tones, and here the bright hues around the sitter contrast dramatically with the black and grey background Estimate: $12,000-18,000 20‌ November‌, New York
