The famous ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware‘ painting, which hung in the White House from the 1970s to 2014, is coming up for auction next month, when it is estimated to fetch about $20million.
The 1851 oil painting is one of three versions painted by Emanuel Leutze of the man who was to be the first U.S. president leading troops during a key moment of the American revolution. Only two survive.
The first version was destroyed during a World War Two air raid in Germany, said American Art specialist Paige Kestenman at Christie’s New York. More

Yep, most of America is for sale by order of the dumb-fuck party.
PedocRATz!
Wonder how much off the top Joe and his wife, and Hunter are skimming off the top? The rest, if there is any, will be going to the DNC!
20 million dollars, shoot I was going to bid but I think it’s out of my price range.
I heard they’re going to replace it with a Hunter Biden piece.
800 million to Ukraine…
I wish President Trump would buy it and put it back in the White House when he returns, and then take it with him when he leaves.
Who presently owns the painting?
If it is the US Government, why is it being sold?
Are all Nation Treasures to be auctioned off like Biden’s influence?
Will it too be bought by China?
Why isn’t it going to the Smithsonian?

This will help shed some light on why it is being sold.
It is on loan from a private collector.
Geoff, It appears as though it is being sold, as to prevent it from falling into
the Current Regimes Grubby Hands.
…just imagine how the future will regard OUR political art.
…somehow, I don’t think the Hunter spit art on black velvet of “Mike Pence Crossing The Aisle” will be NEARLY as well regarded.
To be replaced by Obama drawing a red line?

Wow, that is so sad. We went to the Met several times, when the boys were young, to see it. It’s breath taking when you see it from afar and getting closer and closer. It’s truly a masterpiece.
You know, I’m not worried anymore. I feel it.
Everything will work out. Patience.
But you need to say your prayers everyday!
God Bless us all!

I hope you’re right. I’m going to keep loading mags.
