WINNIPEG - A watercolour sketch drawn by Justin Trudeau months before he became prime minister is up for auction.

Trudeau drew the image of the Canadian Museum For Human Rights after visiting the Winnipeg building last spring.

Postcard prints of the image were given recently to Liberal party donors, and museum officials approached Trudeau about getting the original for a museum fundraiser.

The framed and signed 41 centimetre-by-31-centimetre image is up for bids on eBay for 10 days.

A spokesperson for the museum's fundraising arm says the picture has been appraised at $2,000, but a bidding war would be welcomed.

The drawing depicts the museum, along with its glass tower, with trees and greenery in front.
