After Hyacinthe Rigaud (French, 1659-1743), “A Pair of State Portraits: King Philip V of Spain and his consort Queen Elizabeth Farnese of Parma”, 18th c., oils on canvas, unsigned, with “D. B. Butler & Co., New York” (c. 1900-1935), labels en verso with client’s name “Jackson” and no. 62630, 48 in. x 38 1/2 in. and 47 in. x 38 in. respectively, framed, each with Spanish-language plaques giving sitters’ and artist’s names. $6000/8000 Note: Rigaud, court painter to King Louis XIV of France, painted the monarch’s grandson, Philip V of Spain, in 1700; that famous painting is still at Versailles. Philip’s second marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of Odouardo Farnese of Parma, occurred in December 1714, so the engraved prints on which these dramatic portraits were evidently based (prints which issued in the multiples from the Rigaud studio) were probably of two different dates.

There is also a possibility that the 19th-century maker of the plaques on the present frames may have been mistaken about the original artist(s) of the prints, and that both these images may perhaps reflect the work of Jean Ranc (1674-1735), Rigaud’s apprentice and protégé, who in fact painted both the King and Queen in 1722/1723 (both paintings now in the Prado, Madrid). This possibility is credible when one considers that the style and handling of these pictures is much closer to Ranc’s typically drier, almost enamel-embossed emphasis on drapery and jewelry.

237. Follower of Severo da Ravenna (Italian, c. 1465/75before 1538), “A Pair of Nude Male Figures Supporting Inkwells”, probably mid-16th c., bronze statuettes with russet alloys, chestnut patinas, and black lacquers, heights 6 1/2 in., on variegated black marble plinths. $3000/5000 Provenance: Collection of a Gentleman, purchased 1968 from Manheim Antique Galleries (in B.H. Latrobe’s Louisiana State Bank Building), corner of Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans.

Note: Severo di Domenico Calzetta, known from the city of his birth and death as Severo da Ravenna, where he was enrolled as a Master in 1496 (though his principal works were executed in Padua, from 1500 to 1511), is an exceptional artist who was particularly celebrated in the writings of the Paduan humanist Pomponio Gaurico—especially in his treatise De Sculptura (1504)— but was subsequently forgotten, and only “rediscovered” in the 20th century. Over the last fifty years Severo has been acknowledged as one of the most inventive and prolific of all Renaissance bronzecasters: something approaching 200 casts, of at least 35 or 40 different small bronze designs, have been recognized as issuing from his shop. Even within such an enormous oeuvre, the present figures may well represent a yet-unidentified model: their closest counterparts are apparently the three similarly sized and posed Male Nudes on the topmost of the six figural registers of a colossal Bronze Candlestick in the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco (61.35), in which trios of similar and larger figures (with upraised arms) support the successive platforms and of which the Female Nudes on the bottom tier are also idiosyncratic variants of Severo’s Cleopatra. The possibility that these remarkably handsome figures may in fact derive from such a source, is reinforced (first) by their highly unusual preservation in the form of an exact pair, probably confirming their derivation from just such a multi-figured utensil; and (second) by the fact that their absolutely standard Severan inkwells—life casts from a real seashell, such as that of the galeodea echinophora of Linnaeus—are here present in the form of aftercasts (implying their replication from other, identical specimens closer to the natural models). These shell-inkwells are each attached to their figures’ backs by two early screws: one above their shoulders, and with a second, running diagonally (and most unusually) into the backs of their heads.

$1500/2500

Note: Falinski was an accomplished portrait and history painter, who emigrated from Poland after the Polish-Prussian War in 1832. Between the late 1830s and mid 1840s, he exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City and painted many prominent New England figures, such as Rachel Evans Ellicott, wife of the New York real estate tycoon Joseph Ellicott. In 1844, Falinski moved to Paris where he lived the rest of his life, exhibiting portraits and history scenes at the Paris Salon through the late 1850s.

In this superb portrait, Falinski captures the dignified composure of a statesman, who appears to be congressman John Bell, the seminal 19th century Tennessee politician, who served as Secretary of War under William Henry Harrison (1841) and ran against Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 election. Bell served in both the House of Representatives and Senate for Tennessee (1827-1841, 1847-1859), and was a key figure in the Whig Party.

The portrait may have been painted between 1840- 1841 when Bell was nominated Secretary of War. The tentative age of the sitter, his dress, and the bound volumes of Joseph Story’s 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution in the background are consistent with an 1840 date, chronologically placing this portrait between the two other well known portraits of Bell by William Cooper c. 1835 (Tennessee State Museum) and Willie Betty Newman’s 1911 posthumous portrait of Bell in his early 50s (U.S. House of Representatives Collection).

In 1880, the U.S. Treasury Department commissioned a copy of the painting to be made by Caroline Ormes Ransom (18261910), a student of Asher B. Durand. The portrait of Hamilton on the $10 note was later printed after Ransom’s copy. Two other Hamilton portraits by Trumbull, which bear a close resemblance to the one auctioned here, were painted in 1791 and 1806. The former can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (through joint ownership) and the latter at the Washington University Law School in St. Louis, MO.

$15000/25000 Note: This rare and likely unique Shearwater Pottery jardinière is remarkable not only for its monumental size and form, but for the fact that it has survived to this day. Made by special order only, this pot was hand pressed by Peter Anderson into a mold which was then fired in the ground. Due to the large size of the piece, this was a difficult process hence these jardinières were only made on commission. The main mold used for this vase was destroyed in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina which devastated the Shearwater Pottery.

$7000/9000 Note: This beautifully modeled vase is similar to one illustrated in The Arts & Crafts of Newcomb Pottery, plate 146, p.

This visually stunning piece decorated by James McConnell “Mac” Anderson incorporates scrolling vertical forms that bring to mind clouds, waterspouts or mermaids purses. The design certainly references his brother Walter Anderson’s linocuts of Clouds and Waterspouts.

He was born in Elmore County, a rural area north of Montgomery. Fitzpatrick initially enrolled in the University of Alabama to study journalism, but soon left to attend the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied for a year. After serving in Europe in the military in WWI, Fitzpatrick returned to Alabama and worked as a landscape and genre painter. In 1926, he traveled to Europe once again, spending several months in Paris at the Académie Julian where he was inspired by the work of the Fauves and the Post-Impressionists. When he returned to Alabama the following year he incorporated bright colors and exaggerated lines into his depictions of the Southern landscape.

In Alabama, Fitzpatrick became a leading figure in promoting the arts of his home state. Prior to 1930, artists had very few venues to display their work, so Fitzpatrick led a small group of artists, known as the Morningview Painters, and founded the Alabama Art League with the intent of finding places to hold exhibitions. The success of the resulting exhibitions led to the formation of the Montgomery Museum of Art in 1930. Fitzpatrick served on the original board of directors and the exhibition committee for the newly opened museum.

In 1933, Fitzpatrick and his friends Sallie B. Carmichael, Warree Carmichael LeBron, and Frank Applebee founded the Dixie Art Colony, also known as Poka-Hutchi, a Creek Indian expression meaning the “gathering of picture writers.” It was located on the banks of Lake Jordan near Wetumpka, Alabama. Guest artists to the colony included Anne Goldthwaite, an Alabama native who taught at the Art Students League in New York, and Lamar Dodd, head of the art department at the University of Georgia.

Illustrated: Marshall, Keith, John McCrady, 1911-1968, New Orleans Museum of Art, 1975, cat. no. 34, p. 70.

Note: John McCrady wrote the following related to the painting offered here.

A favorite month for visiting Grand Isle was that of August.

Mary and Kalma walk, contemplating, along the water’s

102

edge; and I wonder what they are thinking. They seem to enjoy this August spell, the last month in the year when one can on a vacation dwell…

For my still life the material I use is furnished by the earth, the sea and myself. The generous earth donated the wood as well as the flowers and leaves for the living color. The sea, who is sometimes co-operative, has shaped the wood and created a patina that completes the sculpture. It has also contributed moisture, used by the clouds to nourish the flowers. I furnished, on loan, the drawings of angels, a result of a most delightful association.

McCrady said “I see in a still life set-up an opportunity to reflect something of my inner-self.” In characteristic McCrady style, the curving, undulating clouds resemble the angels he often includes in his paintings, in this instance with one of his own sketches depicted in the tableau. The driftwood is indicative of the human form and looks like a figure reaching towards the heavens.

The colorful and expressive composition seen here is a lovely example of McCrady’s mature and unique style of painting.

$10000/15000

As with most of Persac’s paintings, there are unusual elements which challenge identification; in this image the curious conically draped objects in the left foreground are examples. Nearby is a delightful blue and white tent with a scalloped border and gilt tassels on a raised stone foundation. Or is it an open market draped with canvas sides? Or is it even a building painted to look like a tent? The three openings facing the river are made by pushing cloth to either side. What was the purpose of this attractive confection?

Note: This view of an as-yet-unknown river harbor is the first unknown Persac painting to be discovered since a cache of fourteen small watercolors, also done in France, appeared in England in 2000. The picture gives evidence of being an early work painted in France before the artist made his first trip to the United States around 1842. This early French harbor scene affords collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a Persac. Of the seventy-six known Persacs, fifty-four are in public collections.

The watercolor being offered here, invites comparison with Persac’s later view of the “Port of New Orleans” owned by The Historic New Orleans Collection. Like it, this view obviously represents a river port near the sea lanes , as is attested by a vast number of ocean-going sailing ships docked on both banks and one sailing midstream. Another similarity is that both images feature a broad bend—a crescent—in their respective rivers. Not surprisingly, the two-to-four story buildings of the town sport iron balconies reminiscent of the Vieux Carre, New Orleans.

While St. Louis Cathedral appears at center right in Persac’s “Port of New Orleans”, what appear to be the twin Gothic towers of a cathedral or large church can be seen through the cross trees of

Persac was trained in France. He enjoyed success as an architect, civil engineer and cartographer, and added photography to his skills after his arrival in the United States. He always had the soul of an artist and the charm that pervades his Louisiana work, including his slightly skewed perspective, is attractively present in this harbor scene.

Note: Philomé Obin (1892-1986) is considered by many to be the greatest of all Haitian artists. Born in Cap-Haitien, Obin took drawing lessons as a child. Many of his early paintings were on cardboard or masonite and were unappreciated by the general public who looked more to the ‘sophisticated’ art of France. By 1944, the artist was desperate because of his commitment to art and the lack of response he was receiving. However, the next year, he got the attention of Dewitt Peters, an American artist who was a Quaker and pacifist, and who had established the Centre d’Art in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital, as an alternative to doing military service for the American government. Obin sent Peters a painting depicting Franklin D. Roosevelt and was immediately invited to join the Centre.

Obin subsequently founded and directed the Branche Capois de Centre d’Art in his home city of Cap-Haitien, where he grew to become universally considered the father of the “Cap-Haitien style’” of painting. His brother Seneque and many of Philomé’s children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren eventually took up painting resulting in an impressive body of work reflecting the creations of many subsequent generations, a vibrant family legacy that continues to this day.

Sometimes called a “sophisticated naif,” Philomé had a unique sense of perspective. His work ranges from enchanting views of life in Haiti to allegories with strong messages. One of Obin’s significant contributions was to the mural project in the Episcopal Cathedral of Sainte Trinite in Port-auPrince where he painted “The Crucifixion” and “The Last Supper”. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, the Musee d’Art Haitien du College Saint Pierre in Portau-Prince, the Figge Art Museum in Iowa, the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT, and the Yale University Art Gallery.

$800/1200 Note: In 1898 the New Orleans Daily States newspaper proclaimed Julia M. Massie to be one of the city’s leading artists whose work was praised “both at home and abroad”.

As a promising young artist, Massie studied art with local artists Paul Poincy, Andres Molinary and Bror Anders Wikstrom at the Artists’ Association of New Orleans.

1159. Attributed to Henrietta Johnston (American/Charleston, c. 1670/75- c. 1729), “Pair of Female Portraits, Said to Represent the Williams Sisters”, early 18th c., two pastels on laid paper, unsigned, each 8 3/8 in. x 6 1/4 in., matching molded giltwood frames. $1000/1500 Provenance: Earle Williams Newton II (1917-2012): his autograph inscription en verso of one back board states, “Miss Williams/ from a Williams family estate / which also included a silver can[n] / of Colonial origin / attributed to Henrietta Johnston [signed] Earle Williams Newton”; [in his hand, on newer adhesive labels] “Purchased for/ Norton Asner/ Baltimore”, as well as “Accepted as by/ H. Johnston/ by Director of/ Charleston Museum/ biographer of Johnston.”

Note: Unfortunately the previous owner failed to note the name or exact institution of the ‘Charleston museum director’ who accepted these portraits as possible works by Henrietta Johnston, America’s first woman artist, as well as its first artist in pastels. The historical Henrietta Johnston almost always employed sheets of paper of 12 inches by 9 inches, from which standard the present sheets are only about two-thirds as large in each direction; the historical artist specialized in rather stiff figures shown to the full half-figure length, and apparently always with exaggeratedly long necks. The present smaller, shorter, and more compact figures do, however, share certain of the idiosyncrasies of Henrietta Johnston’s characteristic costumes and coiffures. On balance, there may exist a preponderance of evidence in favor, at least, of a tentative ascription of these portraits to the shop, circle, or following of Henrietta Johnston.

Note: A native of Hahnville, Millet came to New Orleans in 1917 to work with Robert Grafton and Louis Oscar Griffith, who were painting their celebrated murals in the lobby of the St. Charles Hotel. From 1922 to 1924 Millet studied at the Art Students’ League in New York City, before returning in the latter year to New Orleans, where he worked for the rest of his life. The combination of these facts, with the Gimbels Department Store stencil on the reverse of this canvas board, very strongly supports the hypothesis that this bold and innovative painting was executed in New York during those formative years. Indeed the depicted cityscape seems to bear this out, with the broad “avenue” at left intersected by a typically narrower “side street” in the foreground. The unassuming commercial scene itself appears to fit this interpretation: the size and character of the buildings, their awnings and signage, the flickering images of fast-moving traffic, with a few rain-lashed pedestrians under a lurid night sky, all suggest the strong effect on this 26-year-old artist of the bombshell of European Expressionism, which had burst on the American scene through New York’s notorious Armory Show of 1913, just ten years before.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale.

1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.”

B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale.

C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery.

F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief.

2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same.

4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item.

5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction.
