A painting by Norman Rockwell that depicts the undecided voter sentiment during the 1944 presidential election - much like the 2016 race - will be the highlight of an auction of American art in New York.

"Which One? (Undecided; Man in Voting Booth)" shows a man standing in a voting booth clutching a newspaper while pondering the choice between Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Republican Thomas E Dewey.

The painting comes from the estate of horse racing executive Ogden Mills Phipps, who acquired it in 1985. Sotheby's will offer it on November 21 with a pre-sale estimate of USD 4 million to USD 6 million.
 

Rockwell is best known for his covers of The Saturday Evening Post that capture the spirit and popular culture of everyday American life.
