It is part of a rare series depicting the celebrated Moulin de la Galette, and was painted in 1887 during the two years the Dutch artist spent sharing an apartment in Paris with his brother Theo. It will be exhibited in London, Amsterdam and Paris before being sold by Sotheby’s in March when it is expected to fetch between €5m (£4.3m) and €8m. Read more here.

The City of London merchant who hoped to make it into the upper echelons by marrying his daughter to a decadent aristocrat removes her ring after her suicide back in his miserly home overlooking the grey Thames. Her orphaned child suffers from hereditary syphilis. A dog tugs at a sow’s ear that’s been proverbially exchanged for a silk purse. The art on the walls is Dutch and homely, reflecting the merchant’s dry worldliness. It’s a novel come to life on the gallery wall, by the first artist to capture the laughter and tears of London. • National Gallery, London Don’t forget To follow us on Twitter: @GdnArtandDesign.
