This painting depicts Thomas Mitchell, a Pomo Indian and lifelong friend of Grace Carpenter Hudson. According to Boynton’s narrative, the painting “The Quail Hunter” introduced Thomas Mitchell to the Hudson gallery. Like many of her other subjects, a lifetime friendship developed between the artist and the Mitchells. Tom, his wives, his children and even his grandchildren became the subjects for more than 100 other Hudson paintings, easily the most numerous representation of any Indian family.

McCracken, “The Frank Tenney Johnson Book: A Master Painter of the Old West,” Doubleday and Co., New York, NY, 1974, p. 171, no. 719, as oil study for ‘Dust Stained Riders’.

A label affixed to the stretcher states, ‘This picture I authenticate as having been painted by F. Tenney Johnson, N.A.’ signed by W.P. Krehm and Frank Panter. William P. Krehm worked as a framer for the Biltmore Art Salon in the Ambassdor Hotel, Los Angeles, of which Johnson was a founding member, in the 1930’s. He continued his friendship with Mrs. Johnson after Johnson died in 1939 and in the 1940’s he helped her clean out the artist’s studio and repair and restore the paintings and their frames. In partial payment for services, Mrs. Johnson gave Krehm 72 field sketches by the artist including the present work. Copies of a letter from Krehm describing his relationship with the Johnsons dated April 26, 1963 and another statement dated April 23, 1968 signed by Frank Panter accompany the lot. In addition, a copy of a letter dated August 12, 1963 from the artist James Swinnerton to William Riffle, one of the purchasers of the sketches from Krehm, accompanies the lot. Swinnerton writes: I am sincerely pleased to find that you have become the owner of these original field sketches of Frank Tenney Johnson’s. Frank and myself used to agree that the field sketches had the quality of ‘’feeling’’ of the subject that was somewhat missing in the following finished painting which followed it or them -- I knew of these sketches of his that ‘’Vinnie’’ (Frank’s wife) had turned over to Bill Krehm and wondered what he was going to do with them and now, I find you have obtained them -- They should be shown especially now in the way art is gathering interest of so many persons. Again - I congratulate you on unveiling them. Sincerely your friend, Jim Swinnerton.

W. Herbert Dunton

(1878-1936 Taos, NM) Mexican Vaqueros Roping Brown Bears Oil on canvas laid to board Signed and inscribed lower right: W. Herbert Dunton, Hacienda San Jose de Babicora, Mexico 34” H x 50.5” W $300,000-500,000 Literature: Charles Scribner’s Sons New York, “Scribner’s Magazine”, Volume L1 January-June, 1912, p. 179, fig. 173A, illustrated.

T

aos founder William Herbert “Buck” Dunton’s early masterwork featuring Mexican vaquero brothers on horseback in the midst of roping two Mexican grizzly bears (now an extinct species), showcases the artist’s lifelong parallel interests in animals and hunting, and his skill and talent at capturing Western action in painting.

Foremost Dunton scholar Michael R. Grauer writes in a March 2019 letter about the artist’s early interest in the painting’s subject, “Dunton began hunting and fishing with his grandfather while still a youngster in the Maine woods, often carrying a sketchpad along with his rod or rifle. He practiced amateur taxidermy and skinned animals whose pelts he hung on the wall of his “den”. He wrote and illustrated hunting articles for The Amateur Sportsman, American Rifleman, and National Sportsman magazines, and three unpublished stories on hunting and wildlifeÖDuring his first trip west in 1896, he hunted for nearly two yeas supplying meat for ranches” (Grauer, p. 1). That 1896 trip to Montana occurred when Dunton was just 18 years old, and Dunton continued to make a number of trips West between 1896 and 1911, including a first visit to northern Mexico in 1909 and the Chihuahua, Mexico trip in 1910 to Phoebe Apperson Hearst’s Babicora Ranch during which the present work was executed.

According to Grauer, the execution and style of the vaquero painting shows clear influences of important Western artists Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell. Grauer notes, “Remington depicted Mexican vaqueros as early as 1890. Russell painted a number of scenes of cowboys roping grizzly bears. Moreover, Russell and his close friend painter Philip R. Goodwin often created ‘predicament paintings’ in which the outcome remains uncertain for the scene depicted. Their mutual friend Dunton also shared their delight in ‘predicament paintings’” as seen in the present work (Grauer, p. 1).

Dunton explored the subject of vaqueros a number of times in addition to the present painting, even before actually visiting Mexico, and his vaquero subjects appeared on the covers of The Cavalier magazine in March 1909, The Popular Magazine in March 1911, and Collier’s Magazine in May 1911 (Grauer, 2). In a 1916 New York Herald article by Gustav Kobbe titled “Down by the Rio Grande - Types of Vaqueros, Peons, Indians, and Sheep Herders as Seen and Painted by American Artists in Mexico,” Dunton is quoted describing vaqueros as “marvelously proficient as ropers and riders” (as quoted in J. Schimmel, The Art and Life of W. Herbert Dunton, 1878-1936, University of Texas Press, 1984, p. 23). The present painting was illustrated in color in the February 1912 issue of Scribner’s Magazine in F. Warner Robinson’s article The New Cattle Country, p. 181, and was captioned, “Fernando roped one of the bears and his brother caught another” (Schimmel, p. 195).

Set in high desert country in the Northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, the hazy and muted, painterly background focuses the viewer’s attention fully on the central action. Two vaquero brothers demonstrate their significant roping skill as each work to lasso two grizzly bears. The background rider’s arm is raised in mid-swing about to rope one grizzly, while the central foreground rider has just successfully heeled his grizzly.

The figures’ dress and the horse tack and blanket are historically accurate. “[The foreground figure’s] saddle shows typical Northern Mexico tapaderos and the same vaquero sports Chihuahua spurs, with their distinctive thick heel band and large, multi-toothed rowel. Both vaqueros wear fairly typical sombreros and the foremost vaquero wears Mexican-style shotgun chaperreras” (Grauer, p. 2). Additionally, the positions and gestures of the foreground figure and his mount emphasize the artist’s keen awareness of how a mounted figure might actually heel a bear. “[T]he vaquero on the bay horse has dallied his reata around his saddle horn, thus allowing him to ‘play’ the rope and now allow him and his horse to be pulled down by the grizzly” (Grauer, p. 2). The forward leaning figure and his rearing horse work in tandem to pull the bear off balance onto his back.

This exceptionally rare museum-quality painting, with its ambitious size and forceful subject, has remained in the family of Texas General Homer I. Lewis for many years. It was, by repute, likely purchased directly from the estate of Phoebe Apperson Hearst.

G

ranville Redmond is widely accepted as California's foremost early Impressionist and is considered a master at capturing the native natural landscape phenomena. Redmond was drawn to the Southern California landscape, light and climate, and in 1898, settled in Los Angeles after extensive study at the California School of Design, and various art schools in Paris. Deafened by scarlet fever in early childhood, Redmond's ability to channel, absorb and convey the majesty of nature in his canvases is what set him apart from other artists.

Even in his lifetime, Redmond was celebrated for his faithful and resplendent depictions of the local flora, such as the present painting.

His friend, collaborator and patron, Charlie Chaplin wrote about these blooming landscapes: "There's such a wonderful joyousness about them all. Look at the gladness in that sky, the riot of color in those flowers. Sometimes I think that the silence in which he lives has developed in him some sense, some great capacity for happiness in which we others are lacking."

Grace Hortense Tower notes that, "no visitor to California feels his visit complete till he has sought the foothills or the mesas and reveled in the joy of wading into the yellow sea of bloom to his heart's content." Early travelers wrote letters home attempting to describe the overwhelming natural fireworks display, while artists set up easels realizing they could sell paintings to awestruck clients, and gallerists in New York, Chicago, and in the burgeoning Los Angeles art scene encouraged them.

Redmond painted with a heightened sense of the unique light and atmosphere of California, often compared by artists of the period to the Mediterranean. Punctuating the present works' sweeping landscape with a scattering of oak trees, are a blanket of bold orange and blue blooms of the native poppies and lupine. Truly a masterwork by the artist, the present painting showcases Redmond's ability to articulate precise and painterly brushwork, and his skill at conveying distance and atmosphere.

This wildflower landscape has a clear history of ownership extending back to the artist that ties into the rich history of bartering paintings for services and rent during the Depression. Redmond used Abbey Picture Framing of Hollywood, and the present painting was used to pay for framing services. Abbey Picture Framing in turn rented their Hollywood storefront from their landlord Henry Ruff, and shortly after acquiring the present work, Abbey exchanged it for six months of rental payments. The landscape remained in the family from that time, passing down three generations to the present owner. The present work is accompanied by a frame that retains the Abbey Picture Framing of Hollywood stamp.

The following work was inspired and titled after the following poem by Sir Walter Scott.

"I Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!

Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d, As home his footsteps he hath turn’d, From wandering on a foreign strand!

If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonour’d, and unsung.

II O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child!

Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e’er untie the filial band, That knits me to thy rugged strand!

Still as I view each well-known scene, Think what is now, and what hath been, Seems as, to me of all bereft, Sole friends thy woods and streams were left; And thus I love them better still, Even in extremity of ill.

By Yarrow’s streams still let me stray, Though none should guide my feeble way; Still feel the breeze down Ettrick break, Although it chill my wither’d cheek; Still lay my head by Teviot Stone, Though there, forgotten and alone, The Bard may draw his parting groan."

Conditions of Sale AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated, John Moran Auctioneers Moran's) acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer.

BEFORE THE AUCTION (a) Public Preview: All property is available for inspection by public preview during the day of auction. In many cases, particular lots can be examined in advance by private appointment. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to personally examine any property in which they are interested. (b) Buyer's Responsibility: Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction. (c) Property Sold 'As Is': Neither Moran's nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property, or to any errors or omissions in the catalogue or supplemental material apart from the Limited Warranty stated below. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply than an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others.

AT THE AUCTION (a) Admission: The auction is open to the public, though Moran's reserves the right to refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auctioneer may be recorded (visually, aurally or otherwise) and all participants consent to such recording. (b) Buyer Registration: Prospective buyers must register with Moran's before bidding. Moran's may require identification and financial references in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium plus all applicable charges, unless Moran's agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Moran's. In such case, Moran's will look to the third party for payment. (c) Bidding Guidelines: Bidding, whether in person, by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder's acceptance of these conditions. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid, to withdraw, pass or divide any lots, to combine multiple lots, to advance the bidding at his or her absolute discretion and (in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale) to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, cancel the sale or to re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are the consignors' or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their consignment. In the event of any dispute after the auction Moran's sale record shall be conclusive. (d) Absentee, Telephone and Internet Bidding: Moran's offers absentee, telephone and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute such bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran's prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received

by Moran's shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure. (e) Reserves: Unless indicated otherwise, lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve for any lot shall not exceed its published estimate. Moran's shall act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer, who may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on the seller's behalf. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Lots without reserves are typically opened for bidding at 50% of their low estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his discretion or deem the lot unsold if a bid is not recognized.

AFTER THE AUCTION (a) Payment and Title Transfer: The buyer agrees to pay the sum of the hammer price plus Buyer's Premium, plus any applicable sales tax. Buyer's Premium is calculated as follows: 25% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 18% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers platform will be charged a Buyer’s Premium of: 30% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 23% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer.

Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3.5% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. Buyers outside the United States must submit payment via wire transfer. Credit cards are not an accepted form of payment for buyers outside the United States. Buyers are strongly encouraged to provide full payment at the auction. Payment must be received by Moran's within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer shall not acquire title or take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium and applicable taxes) due to Moran's have been paid in full. (b) Collection: Buyers are strongly encouraged to collect purchased items from the sale site at the time of the auction. Packing material and labor are provided free of charge at the sale site during the auction. Packing and handling of purchased lot is undertaken by Moran's solely as a convenience to customers. Moran's is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause, in connection with this courtesy service (c) Storage: Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran's warehouse. Moran's shall retain possession of all purchases until full payment has been received from the buyer. Lots remaining uncollected after the fifth business day following the sale, regardless of payment status, are subject to a per-lot daily storage charge of $10.00. In addition to other remedies available by law, Moran's reserves the right to impose upon delinquent buyers a separate 1% monthly charge (of the

86

purchase price, or the maximum permitted by law) commencing on the sixth business day after the sale date. (d) Shipping: Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran's in our discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, can arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense and risk of the buyer. Moran's assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran's. Nor does Moran's assume any responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. In circumstances where Moran's arranges for such third-party services, Moran's may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee. (e) All Sales Final: Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds shall be given at Moran's sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 days of the auction and accompanied by a supporting written statement from a recognized authority (defined as a person who has authored, edited, or substantially contributed to a monograph on the artist, a person who has curated, organized or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist, a person who has represented the artist's estate or someone who represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the above instances physically handled works of the period, medium and subject matter in question during the course of their duties) stating that the object sold is incorrect or not the work of the artist. Dealers, appraisers and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with that artist's work, as specified above, in addition to their daily duties. Refunded lots must be returned to Moran's in the same condition as when sold. Moran's does not grant extensions to refund considerations based upon authenticity due to shipping delays. There are no exceptions to this refund policy.

LIABILITY AND LIMITED WARRANTY (a) Liability: The buyer expressly agrees that (i) neither Moran's nor the seller shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits and (ii) the buyer's damages, if any, are limited exclusively to the original purchase price paid for the lot. (b) Limited Warranty: All property is sold as is. Neither Moran's nor the consignor or our associates make any representation, express or implied warranty (including merchantability and fitness) or guarantee in condition, age, size, provenance, medium, signature, inscription, exhibition history, importance, rarity, country of origin, genuineness, historical relevance, monetary or other value, framing or lack thereof, mounting, conservation, coloring, palette, inscription, edition, style, label or other descriptor. No statement in the catalogue, brochures, website, bill of sale or invoice, any supplementary material, or statements by any Moran's employee shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. (c) Descriptions: No warranty, whether express or implied, is made with respect to any description contained in this auction or any second opinion. Any description of the items or second opinion is for the courtesy of identifying the items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots in person, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the transaction or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. (d) Estimates: All estimates provided are carefully considered opinions of Moran's specialists, and are merely suggested guidelines for interested buyers. Buyers must be aware that all property sold is subject to fluctuating values depending on the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices above, within, or below estimate. (e) Regulated Species: Lots with a "◊" symbol in the printed or digital catalog, or noted within the condition report of a lot, may contain regulated plant or animal materials and could be subject to certain import or export restrictions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and obtain any required import or export permits / licenses. The inability to obtain any such document(s) is not grounds for requesting a refund nor does it negate the buyer from making full payment for their purchase. (f) Notices, Demands and Refunds: Any demands for refunds, problems with the lot(s) sold or notices of any kind concerning the auction shall be in writing and addressed to John Moran Auctioneers, Inc, 145 East Walnut Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016.

ADDITIONAL MATTERS (a) Copyright: The copyright on all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Moran's for this auction is and shall remain at all times the property of Moran's. Moran's and the seller make no representation or warranty that the buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to a purchased lot. (b) Buyer's Breach of Conditions: If a buyer fails to comply with any of these conditions, Moran's may, in addition to asserting all remedies available by law, including the right to hold that buyer liable for the purchase price, (i) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer, (ii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately upon notice to the buyer, or (iii) take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate. If Moran's resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the original sale price and any subsequent mitigation sale, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorney's fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a portion of the purchase price for any property, Moran's shall apply the payment received to such property that Moran's in our sole discretion, deems appropriate. Moran's shall have the benefit of all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code adopted in the State of California. (c) Severability: Should any of these conditions be deemed unenforceable, invalid or illegal in any court having jurisdiction, that part shall be discounted and shall have no effect on the enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, which shall remain valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. (d) Jurisdiction: The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these conditions and the conduct of the auction shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of California. By bidding, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer shall be deemed to have consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of California or, if applicable, the federal courts sitting in this state. Further, the buyer agrees that the venue for any action arising out of the failure to abide by these conditions, or any conduct related to or arising out of the auction, shall be the Los Angeles Superior Court, North East Branch located at 600 Olive Street, Burbank, California.
