This Charles White lithograph conveys the artistic sensitivity and emotional power that
millions revere him for. “Awaiting His Return, 1946” depicts a forlorn woman, pensively
staring to the side while resting her palm upon her chin. She is a solitary presence,
sitting at a table with a lone picture behind her left shoulder. White successfully translates
a wistful sadness while showing an incredible mastery of skilled draftsmanship. White’s
artistic expertise has been universally praised as he has received numerous honors and awards
and been exhibited in some of the finest institutions in the world. “Awaiting His Return, 1946”
will be offered in the June Fine Sale at an estimate of $6,000-9,000.
