Waterhouse painting owned by Cdn couple to go on auction block ...
TORONTO (CP) - A rare Edwardian-era painting that belongs to a Canadian couple is expected to fetch up to US$2.5 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York on Wednesday. The oil-on-canvas piece, called "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May," was painted by well-known British artist John William Waterhouse in 1909 and depicts young women picking flowers in a meadow. The composition comes from the Robert Herrick poem of the same name. The painting was obtained by the unidentified Canadian couple in the early 1970s when they bought an Ontario estate and its entire contents - including the artwork. Sotheby's believes the painting wound up in the house after the previous home owners purchased it from a private Canadian collection. The original owner was Sir Brodie Haldane Henderson in Hertfordshire, England.
