This powerful, instantly recognizable picture is smaller, yet nearly identical to the 21-foot-wide work of art of the same name and by the same artist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. |
We’ve all seen the iconic painting “Washington Crossing the Deleware” by Emanuel Leutze, but many of us didn’t know the German-American artist painted more than one version of General George Washington's attack on the Hessians at Trenton on December 25, 1776.
Recently, a smaller [privately held] version is set to be auctioned off by Christie’s in New York for an estimated $15 million (plus) next month.
