101. Frédérick Charles Vipont Ede (Canadian, 1865-1943) - French Pastoral Landscape oil on canvas 32 x 38.5 in. (framed); 18 x 24 in. (sight) 1891 ESTIMATE $2000 - $3000 PROVENANCE Private Collection, New Brunswick This painting depicts cows amid a green field with a French village and rolling hills in the background. There is a fresh and rich application of the paint, following the French plein air tradition.

The painting’s intricate frame was professionally restored by conservationist Alena Macalasdair, Moncton, NB. Frédérick Charles Vipont Ede (Canadian, 1865-1943) spent his early life in Canada, and later studied with Tony Robert-Fleury and William Adolphe Bouguereau in France. Ede settled in Paris and established most of his career in France, but also received professional recognition for his work in the United States and Canada. Common themes in Ede’s work include the farmlands, valleys, forests and canals of the Paris environs.

102. George Horne Russell (Canadian, 18611933) - The Clansman oil on canvas 22.5 x 19.5 in. (framed); 22.5 x 19.5 in. (sight) ESTIMATE $3000 - $4000 PROVENANCE Private Collection, New Brunswick George Horne Russell (Canadian,1861-1933) was born in Banff, Scotland and studied at the Aberdeen School of Art and the South Kensington School of Art. A trained and talented portraitist, Rusell moved to Montreal in 1889 to establish an art practice. He worked as a portrait painter in Canada in the late 1800s, expanding his repertoire to include landscape in the early 1900s. He executed a number of large scale landscape paintings of the Rockies and British Columbia at the request of Canadian railway companies.

Russell was a personal acquaintance of the Canadian railway magnate William Van Horne. Van Horne vacationed annually at St. Andrews, NB. It is possibly through this connection that Russell came to locate a summer home and studio in the province. Russell died in 1933 in St. Stephen, NB. Russell became president of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1922. His work is found in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the National Gallery of Canada.

105. Maud Lewis (Canadian, 1903-1970) The Blacksmith Shop oil on board 21.5 x 26.5 in. (framed); 12.25 x 17 in. (sight) 1960s ESTIMATE $25,000 - $30,000 PROVENANCE Private Collection, New Brunswick This painting has been authenticated by Ian Muncaster, Zwicker’s Gallery, Halifax NS. Letter of authenticity is included with the lot. A pigment analysis has been conducted with the Research and Productivity Council, Fredericton NB, confirming the appropriate composition of the paint. This work has been professionally framed by Janet Chang, Framing Factory, Saint John NB, with Italian birch and UV glass.

This scene is a recurrent theme in the artist’s work. There is clarity and cohesion to the component parts of this painting: the horse tethered to a post in the centre of the composition has been unhitched from the black carriage on the right and awaits the work of the blacksmith in the upper right. Fields of green grass and white flowers and a leafy tree frame these components and draw our eye back to the centre of the composition.

This painting is one of the largest of Lewis’ works to appear at auction in recent years.
