A selection of remarkable illustrations were offered in the sale including, ‘It Was Such a Warm Little House, There,’ Said She, Huskily by Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945) (estimate: $70,000-100,000). Originally featured in a 1905 Harper’s Magazine piece entitled, “Back to Indiana,” the oil on canvas depicts a man and woman seated beside one another in front of a covered wagon and gazing at a camp fire. The painting has been consigned by The Farnsworth Art Museum to benefit The Andrew Wyeth Endowment Fund.
