Estimated at $200,000 to $300,000, a Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington, desirably unrestored, goes under the gavel at Cottone Auctions in Geneseo, New York, on March 27. The great-great-great-great-grandson of John Jacob Astor is selling this work by the first American president's most famous portraitist.
