Shannon's fall Fine Art Auction is shaping up to be an exciting sale, with consigned works by Eric Sloane, Blanche Lazzell, Priscilla Roberts, Samuel Colman, Rockstraw Downes, Charles Courtney Curran and others already confirmed, and new lots being added to the roster regularly.
Roughly 200 paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture are expected to be featured in the October 24 sale, with historical American art figuring prominently.
From 1870, a seascape by Francis A. Silva, Cape Ann, depicts the waves crashing against the rocky shoreline, with soft pastel hues characteristic of the artist's Luminist style. Measuring 20 by 40 inches and with a provenance that stretches across the last century, the piece is expected to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000.

Recently hosted at the Norman Rockwell Museum, closing in June, was the exhibition Mystery and Wonder: Highlights from the Illustration Collection. Within the collection was the museum’s highlight, and the most recently acquired piece, Whig and Tory, executed in 1938 by the famous American painter and illustrator, Norman Rockwell (18941978). This oil on canvas illustration is quite significant in that it remained unpublished in any magazines the artist was known for working with—most famously The Saturday Evening Post.
