## Caption

Magritte’s 'Le Séducteur'—but make it miniature. At just 6 x 7 inches, this tiny gouache on paper blurs the line between reality and illusion. A ship dissolving into the sea, discovered through what he called “frantic contemplation”—sketching obsessively until the image surfaced, like a dream.

Now on view at #SothebysParis before it leads our Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction on 10 April. Visit 83 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré from 2–9 April. More details via the link in bio. #RenéMagritte
