| Sir Alfred James Munnings The Whip (c. 1922) oil on panel 30¼ X 30¼ in. |
On April 29th, Christie's Auction House in New York City will be holding its spring sale of 19th Century European Art, and although the number of offerings is modest with only 76 lots, there are several excellent works up for bid. The high estimate piece in the sale is William Adolphe Bouguereau's Les deux soeurs which is expected to fetch between 1.8 and 2.8 million dollars (USD). A second painting by Bouguereau, the recently rediscovered Rêverie sur le seuil, is also expected to do well with an auction estimate of between 1 and 1.5 million dollars. Other artists in the auction include Sir Alfred James Munnings, Léon-Auguste Lhermitte, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet, Joaquín Sorolla, Henri Fantin-Latour, Alfred Stevens, Raimundo de Madrazo, Sir William Russell Flint, Peder Mørk Mønsted, and Anders Zorn, who has two fine portraits available for sale.
Christie's Auction House is located at 20 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. The auction of 19th Century European Art will take place at 2:00 PM on April 29th, with open viewing of the lots beginning on April 26th. All of the lots are also available for viewing online at the Christie's website.
