Bessie Potter Vonnoh Sculpture and John Constable Landscape to Star in Timed 500 Gallery Event

500 Gallery’s Autumn Fine Art Timed Sale, held this October, presents a wide variety of fine paintings, prints, multiples, sculptures, and more. Leading the auction is a bronze garden sculpture signed by Bessie Potter Vonnoh. The artist’s genre statuettes often graced the private gardens of wealthy families in the Midwest. Vonnoh trained at the Art Institute of Chicago. She often depicted quiet, feminine scenes. The offered work is dated 1906 and depicts a baby girl on a swing. Another notable lot in the catalog is a painting attributed to English Romantic landscape painter John Constable. He spent most of his career capturing the serene, bucolic lands of his native Dedham Vale. Available in this event from 500 Gallery is Blackberry Paysage, an oil on paper mounted on board. 

Paintings attributed to the likes of Paul Gauguin, Georges Braque, and Sam Francis are available as well. A portion of the auction catalog is dedicated to prints, multiples, and sketches. This includes a selection of sketches attributed to Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Depictions of iconic characters like the Lorax, the Grinch, and Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose are available. Rounding out the catalog are works attributed to Clementine Hunter, Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita, and Pablo Picasso.
