Description

Everybody who drives has a first car. Some are unforgettable (while others you may wish to forget).


Imagine the image of that first car in a setting that was memorable, like a city neighborhood in which you lived. Now you can commission a portrait of that car done from photos, sketches and memories by PS 75 parent and award-winning artist, Robert Seyffert. Robert's work resides in many institutional and private collections, including his portrait of James Michener at the National Portrait Gallery. Robert Seyffert's work has also been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and his cityscapes, depicting the streets of New York and Baltimore and featuring vintage automobiles, are frequently compared to the works of Edward Hopper.

The painting you commission will be a 16" X 20" oil on canvas of the car of your choice. Bid on this totally unique item for yourself or as a gift for the person who is still in love with his 1967 Ford Mercury. It will be a keepsake for posterity.

This is a Live Event Item.
