Mysterious Sargent Painting on Auction September 23

Often the "name" paintings go to the bigger auction houses like Christies and Sothebys but this lovely lady is being auctioned off at Gallery 63 in Atlanta on September 23. And she comes with a bit of mystery.The painting is an original oil-on-canvas portrait of Jenny Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill), by John Singer Sargent. The problem is that no record of the finished portrait exists, making provenance hard to establish. [from luxist]
