Dorothy Wadham (1534/4-1618), the daughter of Sir William Petre, co-founded Wadham College at Oxford University with her husband, Nicholas Wadham. A similar portrait of her is in the collection of Petworth House, in Petworth, West Sussex, England, where it is accompanied by a companion portrait of her husband.
Edward Hastings, Baron Hastings of Loughborough (1512/15-1572) served as a privy to Queen Mary I. He was elected to the Order of the Garter in 1555, and is pictured here wearing the Order’s collar around his neck. The inscription surrounding his coat of arms, “Honi soit qui mal y pense” refers to the Order’s motto. This picture was exhibited at the First Special Exhibition of National Portraits in April 1866 at the South Kensington Museum in London, England, which was organized to display portraits of significant people in the history of England.

14 David Johnson (American, 1827-1908) Sunset on the Unadilla River, New York, 1856 Signed and dated lower left, “D Johnson 1856” Inscribed and titled on a label affixed to the frame Oil on Canvas Retains the original frame 19 x 28 1/8 inches
$50,000-80,000
Johnson claimed to be self-taught, but records show he studied at the National Academy of Design, and with Hudson River artist Jasper Cropsey (a student of Frederic Edwin Church). Johnson exhibited at the National Academy of Design regularly and became an associate in 1860 and a full academician the following year. His works also appeared in exhibitions at other major American art centers, including Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, and Scenery on the Housatonic was shown at the Paris Salon of 1877. Johnson’s Sunset on the Unadilla River from 1856 has the influence of Frederic Edwin Church in use of brilliant salmon colored ground in the sky, and meticulous detail in the foliage. This work is not only a classic painting of the Hudson River School, characteristic of the very best of Johnson’s work, but has an engaging subtle narrative which leads the viewer through the landscape from the figure on the bridge to the homestead beyond.

William Trost Richards returned from Germany in the spring of 1866. He traveled to Mount Desert Island, Maine, perhaps encouraged by fellow artists, Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Jervis McEntee and William Stanley Haseltine. This is one of the few paintings extant from that trip. It signifies an important transition from pure landscape painting to his atmospheric coastal scenes, a subject that would occupy him for the rest of his prolific career.

22 George Henry Hall (American, 1825-1913) A Plea for Peace, 1861 Signed and dated lower left “G.H. Hall / 1861” Oil on board 18 3/4 x 15 inches
$25,000-45,000
Provenance: The Late Ms. Delia P. Frissora of Watertown, Mass. This work was purportedly loaned to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1972. George Henry Hall’s A Plea for Peace called into question the feminine qualities generally associated with floral still-lifes. Hall, who earlier in his career painted historical and allegorical subjects, managed to reflect the political turbulence of the times by depicting flowers in patriotic colors sitting in a rifle. In doing so Hall juxtaposed the fragility and vibrancy of the flowers with a sense of impending destruction. Painted in 1861 at the beginning of the American Civil War, A Plea for Peace sent a clear message of what was at stake for a country newly at war.

$20,000-40,000
Hamilton Hamilton was largely self-taught, however, in 1870; he traveled to Europe, studying in Paris. After two years, he returned home opening a portrait studio in 1872. In 1873 he made a sketching trip west to Colorado and spent much of the summer and winter there, completing forty-seven paintings. Filled with brilliant and luminous color, few of these works are known to exist today. His Colorado paintings were chosen for exhibition in the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, PA. He later turned to impressionism, but his Western Landscapes have stood the test of time being his most sought after works.

$30,000-60,000
Literature: This painting will be included in Stuart P. Feld’s and Kathleen M. Burnside’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist’s works. Frederick Childe Hassam was born in 1859, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He married in 1884 and moved to Paris two years later. Hassam moved to New York in 1889 where he lived until his death on 1935. Hassam, noted for his urban scenes, chronicled the constant flux of Boston, Paris and New York. While he was known to paint in a variety of art colonies outside of the cities, his best works are that of the streets and the many types of people that inhabit them. City life was an endless inspiration for him, from the fluttering of leaves as a carriage passes to the swoosh of skirts of the ladies as they cross the streets; he captures the bustle of the city. This work is particularly successful, even in its small scale, as it bursts with energy.

38 Jean Francois Raffaelli (French, 1850-1924) Shoreline with a Fisherman in the Foreground Signed lower left “JF. Raffaelli” Oil on board 25 x 30 inches
$25,000-50,000
Jean Francois Raffaelli was born in Paris on April 20, 1850. He was accepted at the Paris Salon of 1870 despite his lack of formal training. He was known for picturesque views of quaint Paris neighborhoods and focused on scenes of middle-class life. He was associated with the Realists as well as the Impressionists, yet his work does not fall into either category. While in his earlier work was characterized by a somber palette, which was contradiction to the Impressionists; their influence is felt in his later work with a lighter palette. The Shoreline with a Fisherman is a classic subject for Raffaelli, with the expanding middle class and the growth of the suburbs around Paris, the artist had innumerable subjects from which to paint. This work is representative of the Raffaelli’s mature style. Lighter in color, but a broad brush, and small but strong energetic figures.

39 Hendrik Willem Mesdag (Dutch, 1831-1915) Morning Fishing Boats at Anchor Signed lower right “H W Mesdag” Oil on canvas Inscribed with title on a label affixed to the stretcher 24 x 51 inches
$40,000-80,000 Provenance: Purchased by Eliza Hall Park McCullough and John G. McCullough circa 1900; And by descent in the family; The Park McCullough House Association, 1975
Hendrik Willem Mesdag was the first of the artists to move to The Hague in 1869, followed by Maris, Israels Mauve and Weissenbruch, amongst many others. The group became known as “The Hague School” and was characterized by paintings with muted tones in warm greys. The critic Jacob van Stanten Kolff described the work as “intent to convey mood, tone takes precedence over color… almost exclusive preference for so-called…gray mood.” This work Morning: Fishing Boats at Anchor, is one of Mesdag’s masterpieces, with its grand scale, and rhythmic arrangement of figures and boats. The subtle tonal quality of the greys, pinks and blues are visible even under 100 years of surface grime and aged varnish.

50 John LaFarge (American, 1835-1910) Study on the Reef at Tautira, Tahiti, 1891 Unsigned Watercolor and gouache on paper 8 x 9 inches (sight)
LaFarge painted just two watercolors of the reefs, this being the crisper more detailed of the two. Lafarge wrote in his Record of Travel, “to go to the reef which runs along exactly like a great coastway… and to see the great waves break against this wall, then run in innumerable ripples over the edge in to the quiet water inside the reef.”

$12,000-18,000 Provenance: Durlacher Brothers, New York New York, The Museum of Modern Art, Charles Demuth A Retrospective Exhibition, 1950, no. 10 Charles Demuth was born in 1883 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to a prosperous family in the tobacco business, who encouraged his artistic pursuits. He studied at the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia from 1903 to 1905. He traveled to Paris frequently from 1904 till 1914, living the bohemian life and associating with Gertrude and Leo Stein in Paris and absorbing the many aspects of Modernism. By 1914, he became one of the modernist artists associated with Alfred Stieglitz. He was friends with Marcel Duchamp; they spent time together in Harlem jazz clubs and Greenwich Village bars, which became the subject of many of his watercolors. Demuth’s works, primarily, in watercolor are characterized with an economy of sinuous line, and controlled application of watercolor. Two Men and a Woman on the Beach, from 1912 is typical of his offbeat world view and humor, with a woman fully clothed in a fox stole conversing with male bathers.

Matta left Chile as a young man, for Paris to study, New York to work and Rome to live his mature years. He did not like to be thought of as a “Latin American” artist. He was one of the few Surrealist artists to take on political, social, and spiritual themes directly and without abandoning the biomorphic mutations for which he was known. His most characteristic works border on abstraction and evoke fantastic subjective landscapes. This work Topologie de Illusion from 1990 has an otherworldly fantastic aura which is the hallmark of his work.

Literature: Michel Waldberg, Yseult Riopelle, Monique Brunet-Weinmann, François Odermatt (Editor), Jean Paul Riopelle: catalogue raisonné, Montreal: Hibou Éditeurs, 1999, Cat No. 1957-059, illustrated Riopelle was a member of the group Les Automatistes (founded by Montreal artist Paul-Emile Bourduas, the group was influenced by Surrealism and its theory of automatism). This movement was seen as the beginning of Canadian Modern Art. Many of this group worked in Paris and New York. In Paris in the early 1950s he was known as the ‘Wild Canadian’, not only because of his exuberant artistic style, but also because of his lifestyle. In the 1960s-80, he had a relationship with Joan Mitchell, who had a great influence on his work. Affiliated with the post war modernists, he created works of heavy impasto and quite often squeezed paint directly from the tube onto the canvas. In the 50s and 60s, he frequently used a palette knife; this work Foltâre is emblematic of that which is considered his best period.

Conditions of Sale
Bidding Increments
Participation in this auction is subject to and governed by the following contractual terms. Each prospective buyer is deemed to have reviewed, understood and accepted these conditions of sale and participation in the auction in any manner (in person, by telephone, by written bid or on-line) constitute an acceptance of these conditions of sale by the participant.
The auctioneer will commence the bidding at any level and in increments considered appropriate. Bids will be sought in increments selected by the auctioneer who will have the absolute discretion to select any increments for any lot (and the discretion to vary the increments in the course of the bidding for any lot). However, generally speaking, the increments will depend upon the low estimate for the lot. Thus for example, for lots having a low estimate below $1,000, bids will be sought at increments of $50. The normal pattern for bidding increments will be as follows:
BEFORE THE SALE Condition Every item offered for sale will be sold subject to the actual condition of the property at the time of the sale (generally referred to as ‘as is’). Prospective buyers are permitted and strongly encouraged to thoroughly examine any property before the auction with the understanding that there is no representation or warranty of any kind concerning the condition or any of the physical aspects of any items offered for sale. Catalogue descriptions or verbal statements are offered as opinion and shall not constitute a representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any nature whatsoever.
Registration before Bidding Prospective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom can register online in advance of the sale, or can come to the saleroom approximately 30 minutes before the start of the sale to register in person. A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification (including a check acceptance form) before bidding.
Absentee Bidding Reasonable efforts will be used to carry out written bids delivered to us before the sale for the convenience of prospective purchasers who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. If written bids for identical amounts are submitted for the same lot and are the highest bids on this lot at the auction, the property will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and there shall be no liability for failing to execute any written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with any written bid.
Telephone Bidding Telephone bids will be accepted on lots with a low estimate of more than $2,500, no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the commencement of the sale and only if capacity allows. Arrangements to bid in languages other than English must be made well in advance of the sale. We will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective purchasers to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone as a free service, however there will be no liability for any failure or for any errors or omissions in connection with telephone bidding.
Low Estimate < 999 $1,000 – 1,999 $2,000 – 4,999 $5,000 – 9,999 $10,000 – 29,999 $30,000 – 49,999 $50,000 – 99,999 > $100,000
Increments $50s $100s $250s $500s $1,000s $2,500s $5,000s at auctioneer’s discretion
These increments may vary during the course of the auction at the discretion of the auctioneer.
Estimates Pre-sale estimates are provided to encourage competitive bidding. These estimates may not be relied upon as any predictions of the selling price and may not be considered to be any opinion or representation regarding the value of the property. Keno Auctions shall not be responsible or liable for any difference between a pre-sale estimate and the actual selling price for any lot.
Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price set by the seller below which the lot will be not be sold. The reserve will not exceed a given low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction. Regardless of whether there is a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid and withdraw any lot for any reason. In order to comply with the seller’s reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may open bidding by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of the seller (i.e. a bid from the book held by the auctioneer) up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that fact (normally by stating that the lot has been unsold or passed).
