It's being offered May 1 at Christie's. The work was rediscovered this year in the collection of the late Dr. Heinz Eichenwald, a well-known pediatrics expert from Texas. It's a study for one of the French Post-impressionist's paintings in the series "Card Players," created between 1890 and 1896. The five-painting series was recently part of a traveling exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and London's Courtauld Gallery. It depicts a card player wearing a hat and jacket, rendered in hues of blue and ochre. It was previously known only from a black-and-white photograph.
