      <h1>Monk in the Wine Cellar</h1>
      <img class="lot-detail__img" src="/images/monk-wine-cellar.jpg" alt="Monk in the Wine Cellar">
      <p>A warmly lit oil painting of a monk savoring the quiet of the cellar, in the
old European tradition of wine-loving clergy. Signed R. Schwarz and dated
1991, it came to me from a Bucks County estate connected to the artist's own
family. Housed in its original gold frame — ready to hang over a bar, a wine
rack, or anywhere that could use a little old-world glow.</p>
