A simple black marker sketch of the Empire State Building drawn by President Donald Trump — initially auctioned off for less than $100 — is back up for bid at an estimated price of $8,000 to $12,000.
Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions says the 12-inch-by-9-inch depiction of New York City's iconic skyscraper was created by Trump for a charity auction in Florida around the time he opened Mar-a-Lago as a private club in 1995, The Associated Press reported.
A portion of the proceeds of any sale will benefit National Public Radio.
Trump's sketch is part of Julien's "Street, Contemporary & Celebrity Art" event taking place in Los Angeles and online Aug. 9.
It's the second auction of a Trump sketch work this year; in July, his depiction of the New York City skyline fetched $29,184.
