The sale will also feature works by American Impressionists, including John Singer Sargent’s In a Gondola (Jane de Glehn), also from the Horchow Collection (est. $1.5/2.5 million). The watercolor depicts Sargent’s friend Jane de Glehn leisurely floating along a canal and seen from Sargent’s ‘floating studio’ as he sketches her from the opposite end of their gondola. A rare 1889 salon picture by George Hitchcock, Tulip Culture (est. $700/900,000) showcases the artist’s skill as a colorist and his life-long interest in Holland’s brilliant flower blooms. Highlights by Mary Cassatt include Margot in White, circa 1903-04 (est. $800,000/1.2 million), which embodies Cassatt’s mature portrait style, and Mother and Child, circa 1898-99 (est. $500/700,000).
