A highlight is a series of limited edition lithographs by contemporary American artist Peter Sculthorpe (b. 1948), featuring his signature rural landscapes and winter scenes. These numbered prints include titles such as "Evening Sun," "Christmas at the Forge," and "Borderlands," each professionally framed.

Jane Wooster Scott's (b. 1920) folk art style is well-represented through multiple lithographs depicting Americana scenes. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, with subjects ranging from rural landscapes to city scenes like "Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge" and "Pride of Pennsylvania."

The auction includes several original oils on canvas and board by various artists. Notable works include pieces by James Guilford Swinnerton (1875-1974), known for his desert landscapes, and Adolf Sehring (1930-2015), featuring a meadow scene with children at play.

European artists are represented through works by Louis Icart (1888-1950), whose art deco lithograph "La Tosca" showcases his characteristic style. The collection also includes pieces by Manuel Robbe (1872-1936) and Emanuel Oberhauser (1854-1919).

Modern and contemporary artists featured include Yaacov Agam (b. 1928), represented by a signed exhibition poster, and Graciela Rodo Boulanger (b. 1935), whose lithograph "Melee" demonstrates her distinctive style.

The auction encompasses various artistic styles and movements, from traditional landscapes to modern abstracts. Media include oils, watercolors, lithographs, etchings, and mixed media works. Many pieces feature pastoral scenes, urban landscapes, portraits, and still lifes.

Several works come from notable private collections, including pieces from the Estate of Jim Sittig, Collector and Art Conservator. The collection includes multiple artist proof prints and limited editions, many hand-signed by the artists.

Japanese art is represented through works including a woodcut by Utagawa Kunisada III (1848-1920) and pieces by other Asian artists. The auction also features contemporary Asian-influenced works and traditional themes.
