A grandiose composition by John White Alexander, titled Her Birthday (1913), towers at almost 7 feet tall. Done late in his career, the work is a detailed example of the artist's mature style, picturing three vignettes of women arranging a vase of flowers. This piece is being offered at an estimated price of $300,000-$500,000.
In addition to the Alexander, other Gilded Age portraiture includes a William Merritt Chase of Miss Mary Shepherd Lukens, titled Lady with a Rose. Offered at $80,000-$120,000, this large-format, 48 inch by 36 inch canvas depicts a woman in a ruffled white dress holding a pink rose. Chase won a prestigious Temple Gold Medal for this work when he exhibited it at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1901.
A rare Victorian sculpture bust of Beatrice Cenci by Harriet Hosmer will be included at an estimate of $30,000-$50,000. Hosmer became the first professional American female sculptor of the 19th Century. Most of her works are in museum collections, including a celebrated full-length sculpture of the same subject. Of her work, Susan B. Anthony commented, "Harriet Hosmer has done more to ennoble and elevate women than she possibly could have done by mere words."
