The first gavel will come down promptly at 1 pm (EST), with a healthy live turnout expected and online bidding also available.

The stunning work is signed on the front lower right corner "Maurice Utrillo" and depicts the subtle shades, shadowed streets and sunlit sky that are characteristic of the artist in the 1940s.
