Christie's is holding an online auction of personal items from President Jimmy Carter's estate that runs through January 27. The sale includes the upholstered armchairs from the viral 2021 photograph of Joe and Jill Biden visiting Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, two peanut scarves worn by Rosalynn, a group of ties worn by President Carter, and a handwritten birthday note from Jimmy to Rosalynn. Several Carter paintings, including Mountain Waterfall, have attracted multiple bids and are expected to exceed their $6,000–$8,000 estimates. Bidding for each item starts at $100, a 27 percent buyer's premium applies, and public registration is open with activity expected to surge in the final 48 hours.
