The late Massachusetts-based painter Charles Herbert Woodbury (1864-1940) will be among the leading lots in James D Julia's August Antique & Fine Art Auction, on August 25-27.
Entitled Boats, Perkins Cove, the work is an outstanding oil on canvas scene depicting five colourful dories moored in a calm cove, beneath a blue and white cloud sky. In the image's foreground are shoreline rocks and water.
According to James D Julia, the work is unsigned on the front but autographed by the artist on the back of the canvas, which could add to its collectability and investment value.
