The painting by Clementine Hunter – often referred to as "the black Grandma Moses," as both artists lived to be 100 years old and were famous for their iconic folk art renderings – is titled Picking Cotton. It's a fine representation of her work and should command $4,000-$8,000.
The oil on canvas laid to artist board by Louis Emile Villa is titled Portrait of a Lady. It is expected to change hands for $2,000-$4,000. Villa was known for his depictions of beautiful women wrapped in the elegance of the 18th century, often inside luxurious scenes of the epoch.
The mid-19th century American late classical mahogany tester bed, possibly retailed by Prudent Mallard (active 1838-1874), has an estimate of $1,500-$2,500. Mallard's New Orleans shop was known for huge armoires in the revival styles of the Victorian era, massive tester beds with carved cabochons on the head and footboards, and delicate parlor furniture in the French taste.
The rest of the catalog has items ranging from a wonderful selection of fine estate jewelry; to a group of World War II era, antique and reproduction black powder guns; to two copper eagle weathervanes (the largest with an estimate of $500-$900); to an A. Hays Town (La./Baton Rouge, 1903-2005) cast stone figure of St. Francis holding a dove (estimate: $800-$1,200).
Decorative accessories will be led by a Fortuny "Scudo Saraceno" metal and glass chandelier, Venetia Stadium, Venice, Italy (estimate: $1,500-$2,500); and a pair of 20th century Maison Bagues iron and brass single light sconces, the iron back plates mounted with large rock crystal birds (estimate: $1,000-$2,000).
