A portrait by New Zealand artist Charles Goldie that has been missing from public view for more than a century is due to go on auction in Christchurch this weekend. The work, titled “Lost in Thought, Ngāheke, An Arawa Chieftain,” is listed as being created in 1917. All reports say the painting has not been widely seen for over 100 years and is now being offered for sale through an auction scheduled for 19 July. One outlet reports a pre-sale estimate of about $420,000, while others focus on the listing date and the portrait’s title and attribution. The painting’s expected sale price and the auction timing are presented as the main details across the coverage. The artwork is described and illustrated with a supplied image credited to NZ artbroker, with no additional claims about provenance or how it was rediscovered included in the provided summaries. The auction’s outcome will determine the final price after competitive bidding.
