A sketch of the Empire State Building drawn by Donald Trump is going up for bid at a Los Angeles auction house.

Julien’s Auctions says the 12in by 9in black marker depiction of the New York City skyscraper was created by Trump for a charity auction in Florida during the time he opened his Mar-a-Lago estate as a private club in 1995.

Julien’s says the piece signed by Trump went for less than $100 the first time it was sold and is now estimated at $8,000 to $12,000. The auction house says a portion of the proceeds of any sale will benefit National Public Radio.

The artwork is part of Julien’s Street Contemporary and Celebrity Art auction, which takes place in Los Angeles and online on 19 October.
