Miami Estate Jewelry & Fine Art

Elite Auctioneers will present the upcoming Miami Estate and Fine Art event in early April. Among the highlighted lots is a painting by Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School art movement. Portrait of the Monk, Alexander was regularly exhibited before coming to auction. The lot also includes a photocopied letter by a relative of Cole, verifying its authenticity. The Hudson River School sought to capture the American landscape and began with Cole’s steamboat trips down the Hudson River in the 1820s.

From Cuba, bidders will find Loló Soldevilla’s Retratode Poncito. Soldevilla traveled to Europe in 1949, where she was exposed to European Abstract art. Seven years later, she returned to Cuba and opened a gallery specifically for that aesthetic. Jewelry collectors can consider several pieces in this auction, including a gold and sapphire necklace. The piece features a two-inch citrine gem in the middle with round sapphires sprinkled within it. Those interested in this or any other piece can register to bid on Bidsquare.
