Alderfer Auction’s December Fine Arts Auction will be led by a newly discovered portrait by celebrated American artist Alice Neel. Never publicly exhibited or published, the painting descended through the family of the sitter, Dr. William Hanaway Jr., and was originally gifted by Neel to his mother and her friend, Nell Prince Hanaway. The auction will also offer a curated selection of American and European paintings, sculpture, fine jewelry, silver, furniture and decorative arts. Special previews and events surrounding the auction will provide additional opportunities to view select highlights and learn more about the collections and artists represented.
Unveiling a Masterpiece: Alice Neel’s Portrait of Dr. William Hanaway Jr.

Alderfer Auction is privileged to present a major fresh-to-market discovery as the centerpiece of our Fine Art and Mid-Century Modern Auction on December 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST. For the first time since its creation, Alice Neel’s (1900–1984) portrait of Dr. William Hanaway Jr.—a distinguished scholar, professor, and champion sailor—emerges from a private family collection. Originally gifted by Neel to the sitter’s mother and close friend, Nell Prince Hanaway, this raw, psychologically insightful masterpiece has descended strictly through the family and has never before been publicly exhibited, published, or offered at auction. Representing an extraordinary acquisition opportunity for museum curators, institutional collections, and discerning fine art collectors, this unrecorded work combines Neel’s signature candid humanism with unbroken provenance. Prospective bidders are invited to inspect this exceptional painting in person during our Special Preview Events on December 7, 8, and 9 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM EST at the Alderfer Auction Center in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, with private consultations available upon request.
