PETERBOROUGH, N.H. -- A painting entitled "Mountain Aspens,
Taos" by E. Martin Hennings elicited active bidding at Cobbs
Auctioneers art and antiques sale this past Saturday, October 11,
followed by a strong price paid for a Phillip R. Goodwin oil sold
during the sporting session on Sunday.
The Hennings, measuring 291/2 by 293/4 inches, depicted a
landscape with a man and two pack animals traversing a trail
surrounded by tall aspen trees. Bidding on the lot was brisk with
the painting selling at $74,750.
The Goodwin oil, entitled "The Right of Way," depicted a bear and
a porcupine facing each other while trying to cross a stream via
a fallen log that spanned the banks. The desirable piece of
illustrative art also attracted strong bids with it selling for
$34,500.
A complete review of the sale will appear in a future issue.
