The auction house’s description

Step into The August Fine Art Salon, a curated auction celebrating the depth and diversity of the painted canvas. This late summer sale brings together original oils, watercolors, and acrylics from American, European, and Latin American artists working across three centuries. Highlights include an 1864 Adolf Charlemagne Imperial Academy oil painting, a late 19th century Andean landscape by Rafael Salas, and a 1746 enamel icon of St. Luke set in an ornate French silver frame. Mid century and contemporary voices are well represented, with abstract expressionist works by Brian Jerome, vibrant garden and floral compositions by Sandy Welch, and impressionist figurative paintings by Diane Buffington. Collectors will also find a Leon Dusso diptych, a 1940s industrial scene by John Fraser, and a chromatic Fauvist portrait by Percy Rivera. Landscape lovers can browse Swiss lakeside views of Chateau de Chillon, Spanish vistas of Toledo and Cordova, English coastal dunes, and desert watercolors from 1941. Realist portraiture, still life studies, and expressionist views round out the offering, alongside a rare Paul Wonner and William Theophilus Brown drawing. Whether you collect fine art for investment, gallery walls, or heirloom value, this auction offers original paintings and drawings at every price point. Each lot is chosen for authenticity, craftsmanship, and lasting visual impact, making this salon an essential stop for serious collectors and design conscious buyers alike as summer draws to a close. Bid now to secure original works that bring color, history, and artistry into any interior.
