A painting by Winston Churchill of a Moroccan sunset -- a view he loved so much that he invited President Franklin D. Roosevelt to see it -- has sold for $350,000, an auction company says.
“Sunset Over the Atlas Mountains,” a vibrant landscape painted in 1935 from Churchill’s balcony at the Mamounia Hotel in Marrakech, had been expected to bring at least $600,000 at the Bonhams New York auction house on Wednesday. The company’s website announced the sale but didn’t say who bought the 20-by-24-inch oil painting.
