| J.C. Leyendecker - Easter - oil on canvas - 20 X 20 in. |
Sotheby's first American sale of the season takes place on April 11th in New York City. Often, these sales of
American Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture can be disappointing – the offerings are a bit eclectic, and much of it is worth passing by – but among the over 200 lots in this auction, there are a few gems. Works by George Inness, Frank Duveneck, and J.C. Leyendecker are among the highlights.
Previews of the auction begin this Thursday, April 4th, and run through the 10th at Sotheby's Auction House at 1334 York Avenue in New York City. The sale itself will take place in one session on April 11th at 10:00 AM.
The entire catalog can also be viewed
online.
