Georgia OKeeffes (American 1887-1986) Untitled (Banana Flower) (Lot 225, estimate: $100,000-150,000) demonstrates the artists dedication to line and composition with this elegant charcoal on paper, circa 1934.

Blue Opus II (Lot 235, estimate: $40,000-60,000), an exemplary, vibrant acrylic on canvas by DC artist Alma Woodsey Thomas (American 1891-1978) and the colorful watercolor and ink on paper Untitled (Lot 234, estimate: $20,000-30,000) are sure to pique the interest of collectors and dealers alike.
