Swann notes that Beauford rarely painted still lifes and that most of his works of this type date from the 1940s.
This makes Untitled (Still Life), which Beauford created in 1932, even more unique and valuable.
The current owner of this pastel on paper acquired it directly from Beauford's brother, Joseph. Beauford moved to 22 Downing Street in Greenwich Village, just a few doors away from Joseph, in 1932, so it is possible that he created this work and gave it to Joseph that same year.
The estimated sale price of Untitled (Still Life) is $15,000 - $25,000.
