The oil on board painting by Clementine Hunter (La., 1887-1987), titled Fish Fry, is a wonderful example of the artist's work. The 16 inch by 24 inch work is signed lower right and is expected to bring $4,000-$8,000. Ms. Hunter was a self-taught artist who worked as a farm laborer when young and only began painting in her 50's. She sold her first paintings for as little as 25 cents.
Clocks in the sale will feature an unusual three-piece French gilt brass and copper porcelain plaque clock set from the late 19th century (clock and two garnitures) that carries a pre-sale estimate of $1,000-$2,000; and a 19th century M. T. Kaltenberger gilt bronze and porcelain mantel clock, 17 inches tall, estimated to gavel for $800-$1,200. The estate jewelry includes emeralds, sapphires, tanzanites, diamonds and South Seas pearls.
The Portrait of Mrs. Ford attributed to Sir William Beechey (British, 1753-1839) dates to the 19th century and is unsigned. The 30 inch by 25 ½ inch work should realize $1,000-$2,000. The 19th century unsigned oil on canvas portrait after Guido Reni (Italian, 1575-1642), is titled Portrait of Beatrice Cenci. The 23 ½ inch by 19 ½ inch work has an estimate of $1,000-$2,000.
