Looking for something to grace the walls of your North Fork home? For an estimated bid of $80,000 to $120,000, you might be able to snag “The Dock,” a circa-1927 oil painting by Irving Ramsey Wiles, created at “The Mooring,” his summer home and studio in Indian Neck, Peconic.
Wiles summered at the home from 1895 on, and many of his paintings took inspiration from the scenery there. This work depicts the artist’s daughter Gladys on the family dock overlooking Peconic Bay, with Shelter Island in the distance. The painting is part of Doyle New York’s American Art Auction on May 20.
