1 of 2. Fordham University’s John Trumbull drawing of Major General "Mad" Anthony deserves to be seen. All it takes is a click to see the sketch that Trumbull used in "Surrender of Lord Cornwallis" that hangs in the Capitol Rotunda (2).

"One of our theories," said fifth generation art dealer Robert C. Vose in 1987, "[is] that the styles, fashions, and taste in paintings goes in waves of 30 or 40 years. — the kids get sick of what they’ve grown up with in their house; they put in the attic; and their grandchildren find it in the attic and think it’s great and bring it down."
Vose used Albert Bierstadt as an example. "Here he was in the mid-1850s and 1860s actually riding the crest of the wave. He lived until 1902, but by 1900 he was absolutely forgotten and he was practically broke. And then in another 30 years, he’s back again. And this picture really typifies it, because in the early…my father sold it for $250. And it hung it what then was the Metropolitan Theatre downtown for years; then it became the Music Hall; now it’s the Wang Center. But in its change over to the Music Hall, they sold all the pictures, so we bought it back and we sold it to the New Britain Museum for $5,000." (Smithsonian Archivs of American Art)
That theory rings true for representational portraits. Auction prices are abysmal now, but in less than 20 years, their prices may rise again.
