BRG is pleased to offer this collection of fine paintings hailing from the estate of William A. Drake Canadian/American expressionist painter and his son, William L. Drake, an artist in his own right. This is an excellent opportunity for bidders to own fresh-to-the-market, never-before-offered fine art from well-known and respected artists. The paintings in this collection were uncirculated and painted for the artists’ own pleasure. These works have been stored in a closet within his son's home for 70-90 years (give or take). Although William Drake's works were sometimes exhibited, these particular works were never sold -- until now. Happy bidding!
