The ultimate source for fine art and antiques images.

Constantly expanding, we have hundreds of thousands of selected images from the world's largest auction house, as well as holding the unique archive of Cecil Beaton photographs.

Our fresh, exciting and highly commercial images range from the 15th to the 20th Century, from Old Masters to Impressionist and Modern art, including oils, drawings, watercolours and prints.

Decorative art images, collectibles and memorabilia are also available.

Our team are very happy to assist with any enquiries or, alternatively, visitors are welcome by appointment.

Please note following an organisational restructure there is no longer a centralized resource to deal with picture library queries. For any image licensing queries please contact the general enquiries desk and they will be able to direct you to the department responsible for any particular image. When looking at a particular image from a sale to licence email addresses of individuals who work with those images will usually also be available on the Sotheby's website.
