The painting is expected to bring $200,000+ and is part of a special Custer grouping in the auction.“John Mulvany had his proverbial 15 minutes of fame when he unveiled his masterwork, Custer's Last Rally, in March of 1881,” said Tom Slater, Director of Americana Auctions at Heritage. “His trajectory might well be compared with that of another one-hit wonder, Archibald MacNeil Willard, who created one of the most iconic American paintings, Spirit of '76, for the 1876 Centennial Celebration.”For some years Mulvany scratched out a living as an artist, mainly doing portraits. In 1879, he was inspired to paint a definitive scene of the Little Bighorn battle, in which George Armstrong Custer perished with his entire command. Custer is strong and determined as the focal point with all of his adjutants, facing death bravely, with defiance, and hopeless surrounded by scores of attacking Indians.It took two years to complete and immediately achieved wide recognition. The first major exhibition of the work occurred in New York City, where it created a sensation.“There were no movies back then, certainly, and no pictures of the battle,” said Slater, “and yet Little Bighorn loomed huge in the recent memory of the nation. People were simply clambering to see this painting as it brought to life all the frantic combat which the public had envisioned at Little Bighorn.”Large crowds paid an admission price of 50 cents (25 cents for children) – no small sum in its day – to gaze, mesmerized, at the painting. Walt Whitman waxed poetic about it in a published review; Custer's widow, Libbie, was said to have swooned at the sight of it. A popular print of the painting was made and sold and, for a decade, periodic additional exhibitions helped provide Mulvany with a livelihood.Over the years it has had periods of exhibition interspersed with long years in storage. In 1926, it was on display at the Heinz Ocean City Pier in Ocean City, New Jersey. In the 1950s it was shown for several years at the Memphis Pink Palace Museum and, most notably, in 1967 at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth.In 2009, eminent art appraiser Paul Rossi, former director of the Gilcrease Museum, declared the work to be “an invaluable collector's piece in American Western art and a true national treasure.”“Like Archibald MacNeil Williams, John Mulvany produced only one masterwork,” said Slater. “He became a drunken derelict and committed suicide by jumping into New York's East River in 1906. Although he painted for years, little of his work has survived. This one shining moment, however, was enough to ensure his place in the pantheon of American historical painters. It’s a magnificent historical work that will be known and admired for generations.”
