77. An Important Suite of Eight French Restauration Brass-Inlaid Rosewood Chaises, c. 1830, Georges-Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter (1799-1870), each stamped on underside “Jacob” with lozenge preceding the J. and with the capital letter “A” denoting The Château or Royal Commission; scrolled crest rail, padded back, square seat, saber legs. $14000/16000 Provenance: Sold in these rooms, April 18, 2009, as lot 296.

Note: Georges-Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter, the grandson of Georges Jacob (1739-1814) and the son of François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841), inherited his family’s furniture workshop in 1825, under the reign of King Charles X. Like his father and grandfather before him, George-Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter created furniture for the King and the Royal Family of France. The letter “A” stamp under the seat rails is likely an inventory stamp for the Château d’Arc-en-Barrois in the Haute-Marne. The Château d’Arcen-Barrois was owned by Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre; and was inherited by King Louis-Philippe through his mother, Louise Marie Adélaïde de BourbonPenthièvre, daughter of the duc de Penthièvre.

These chairs are quite similar in design to those designed by François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter for the bedchambers of Napoleon I at the Château de Malmaison and the Château de Compiègne. All three suites of chairs depict a curvilinear, Empire-style, upholstered back. However, while the Malmaison and Compiègne suites both have saberform back legs and intricately carved, straight front legs, the suite illustrated here employs curved back and front legs, which act together with the curved back to create a more flowing and coherent form.

157. A Large Continental Specimen Marble Octastyle Circular Tempietto of the Tuscan Order, late 18th/early 19th c., height 17 1/2 in., diameter 14 in. $12000/18000 Note: This superb invention is ultimately based on the monumental Tempietto at S. Pietro in Montorio, Rome (1502) by the great Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante, erected in the courtyard of the Spanish National Church by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, as an offering for the 10 year anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of America. From that very celebrated prototype - often taken as the paradigmatic structure of the High Renaissance in Italy - the large table-top “model”, lot 157, takes the forms of the S. Pietro external and internal steps, its Doric (or more properly “Tuscan”) Order, and its general proportions. Elements more characteristic of this tempietto’s Grand Tour pedigree, however, are its inlaid marbles (Bramante’s Tempietto is uniform greystone), its removable saucer dome, and its open colonnade (the Roman Tempietto is a functioning chapel, and has an internal wall). These last characteristics are also shared by a grander and somewhat later prototype, the colossal “Mausoleum” at Castle Howard, North Yorkshire, the last work by the famous English baroque architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (1662-1736). Castle Howard’s immense Mausoleum for the Carlisle family was begun by Hawksmoor in 1729, but only completed after his death, in 1742. It is very much larger than Bramante’s Tempietto, and has many more columns (also of Tuscan order), but its proportions are somewhat closer to the present work here.

That catalogue listed lamps ranging in size from thirteen to twenty-five inches.

Stylistically related to ancient Roman motifs, the Neoclassical designs were the height of fashion in the Empire style from 1800 to 1830. The popularity of these fixtures, especially in the United States, is reflected in the presence of a tôleware annular lamp in Henry Sargent’s 1821 work, “The Dinner Party”.

Note: The firm of Herter Brothers is one of the few American cabinetmaking establishments known to have incorporated pietra dura into its furniture. The firm’s use of the material is confirmed by a recorded dispute over the Port of New York’s inappropriate classification and taxation of “Florentine Mosaics” imported from Italy by Herter Brothers in August 1869. Panels of pietra dura are found on Herter Brothers furniture such as a cabinet made c.18721873 for a Mr. Kemp. Standing prominently in the foreground of a c.1870 photograph of the music room of the Legrand Lockwood residence, built c.1868-1870 in Norwalk, Connecticut, is a table with a pietra dura top. The Herter Brothers firm supplied the decoration and furniture for the music room as well as for the drawing room and rotunda of Lockwood’s large an opulent house.

Note: This highly important Early American portrait bears fragments of two crucial labels in early “copperplate handwriting” en verso of its stretcher: one reads “Henry Howell Williams / Eldest Son of Joseph & Martha Howell [Williams]”, with a third line (evidently the sitter’s life dates) worn off; the second label luckily supplies them: “[Henry] Howell Williams /…/ [Born] October 23rd 1736, Died Dec. 26th 1802.” This name and these dates, accurately preserved in the sitter’s family (the labels themselves probably date from soon after his death), coincide with a host of independent sources to identify this

The lithograph of 1858 by John Henry Buford

prominent personage as the affluent Boston merchant and landowner who served as Commissary Sergeant of the Continental Army, and whose extensive estate on Noddle’s Island in Boston Harbor was the site of ‘the second battle of the Revolutionary War,’ on 27-28 May 1775. This painting itself was published in a lithograph by J. H. Bufford to illustrate Sumner’s History of East Boston of 1858: that print was the basis for Lawrence Park’s mistaken attribution of this painting (which he had not seen) to “Gilbert Stuart.” The more accurate attribution to John Johnston of Boston—a

with twelve buttons from sitter’s coat

This fine and highly characteristic painting is exactly the same size as Johnston’s portrait of Judge David Sewall, dated 1790, at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art (inv. no.

1870.8). The two sitters are identically placed on the canvas, in the same pose; their right arms occupy both foregrounds, with the same curiously wide, ruffled white cuffs; their faces are precisely similar, both exhibiting high foreheads, thin white hair, bold eyebrows, and wide mouths. Three further and more idiosyncratic physiognomic traits that characterize this image also appear in several of Johnston’s cognate portraits (most notably in his superb Man in a Gray Coat of c. 1788 in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, inv. no.

29.893): namely the artist’s propensity to show his male sitters with dimpled chins, incipient smiles throwing into relief the muscles of their cheeks, and a strong line of shadow behind a prominently long nose. The Boston portrait also shares these identical buttons, as well as the frilled shirt; such details feature again in several of Johnston’s excellent portraits of the Harvard University collection (inv. nos. 1957.2, H 104, H 647). The characteristic devices of this painting’s corner curtain, and the right hand resting on a document (as well as the same waistcoat, largebuttoned coat, and wide-ruffled cuffs) are all exactly paralleled in Johnston’s ambitious portrait of Samuel Adams, 1797, now known through two related engravings: a “close-up” print by Henry Bryan Hall in the New York Public Library, and a larger “wideangle” view of the same sitter by George Graham, in the Harvard Art Museums. Virtually every one of these enumerated details further characterizes Johnston’s very fine portrait of John Peck, c. 1795, at the National Gallery of Art in Washington (inv. no. 1947.17.65)—though its somewhat reduced size omits the hands. The present sitter, Henry Howell Williams, turned fifty in the year that Johnston first began painting portraits; to judge from his evidently not much further-advanced age, this historic image is very likely to be one of the artist’s earliest, as well as one of his most characteristic works.

186. Allan Ramsay (British, 17131784), “Sarah Metcalfe Affleck”, 1739, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, later title label in gold capitals lower left, 30 3/8 in. x 25 3/8 in., original carved giltwood frame. $12000/18000 Provenance: Albert du Vannes (1882-1962), dealer; born Alberto di Giovanni in Naples, took this name c. 1925, as recorded on contemporary printed and handwritten label on central rail of stretcher: “No. 107 / Albert du Vannes / 39 East 57th Street / New York / Artist Allan Ramsay / Title Portrait of Sarah Metcalfe”; Robert Ernst Dismukes (1877-1943) and his wife Lenora Swift Dismukes (1884-1965), of Columbus GA, mid-1920s; R. E. Dismukes Jr. and his wife, c. 1965; R. E. Dismukes III and his wife Laura D. Ogburn Dismukes; Estate of Mildred E. Dismukes.

Note: Over the past half-century it has become increasingly acknowledged that the Scottish-born artist Allan Ramsay, a somewhat older contemporary of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), “certainly ranks among the major figures” in British painting, and indeed that the introduction “of the Italian grand style to British portraiture was primarily the achievement of Ramsay” (Waterhouse, 1953 et seq.).

After an unusually thorough intellectual and artistic training in Edinburgh, and four years in the early 1730s divided between the Scottish capital and London (where he studied with minor masters), Ramsay spent 1736-1738 in Italy, where he worked in Rome with the fashionable portrait painter Francesco Imperiali (1679-1740)—in whose studio he became a close friend of Pompeo Battoni (17081787)—and even with the elderly Francesco Solimena (1657-1747) in Naples.

These experiences so far matured his style that upon his return to London his assured draftsmanship, his natural gracility, and the suavity of the ‘grand manner’ he had learned in Italy (to which he was to return periodically in 1754-57, 1775-77, and 1782-84) established Ramsay without question as the leading British portrait painter, with immediate and exalted patronage. In his first year of

52

independent practice (1738-39), for example, he painted the dukes of Argyll and Buccleuch, the duchess of Montrose—and the present enchantingly beautiful noble likeness. Ramsay went on to become Principal Painter in 186 Ordinary to King George III (who acceded to the throne in 1760), in which capacity he and his studio produced vast numbers of replicas based on his official court portraits. He personally ceased painting after an accident to his arm in 1773, and devoted himself to literary pursuits.

This historically highly significant picture is proudly signed, in a large and flourishing hand, “A. Ramsay Pinx. / 1739”; it is also prominently labeled “SARAH METCALFE / MARRIED JOHN AFFLECK Esq.” The sitter (c. 1710-1776) was the daughter of James Metcalfe of Roxton Hall, Bedfordshire; in this year she had just married John Affleck (1710-1774) of Dalham Hall, Suffolk, a graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, who was shortly to commence a quarter-century of service in Parliament. Their first son Sir Gilbert (1740-1808) became a Baronet, on the death of his uncle Sir Edmund Affleck; their second son John (1744-1781), an MA from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, was ordained in the Anglican church, and became a rector in Cornwall; their third son William (c. 1750-1792) served as a Captain in the Royal Navy (and a monument to his memory is in the porch of St. Mary’s, Bryanston Square, London). Sarah Affleck’s wonderful costume in this portrait is independently worthy of note: the enormous ruby that she wears as a pin or brooch on her bodice, and the copious ropes of pearls which ornament every element of her dress and coiffure are perhaps even more opulent. She represents the very last word in fashion—as well as showing, through her likeness, a highly precocious forerunner of Ramsay’s resolved maturation of a personal painterly style.

An American Federal Brass Mounted and Inlaid Mahogany Tall Case Clock, early 19th c., dial signed by Ephraim Willard (1755-1832), Boston, pierced fretwork crest and ball finials surmounting arched cornice, astragal-shaped glazed door flanked by 203 stop-fluted columns, painted and gilt dial signed “E. Willard” and inscribed “Babcock”, plate behind dial marked “Wilson”, waisted case flanked by stop-fluted quarter columns, molded base with quarter fans, ogee bracket feet, height 95 1/2 in., width 20 1/4 in., depth 9 1/2 in. $40000/80000 Note: With its elaborately painted dial and expertly crafted Federal case featuring stop-fluted columns and inlays of quarter fans, this tall-case clock, bearing the signature of Ephraim Willard (1755-1832), is a masterwork of Boston clock making. Ephraim Willard was born in Grafton, Massachusetts, on March 18, 1755. His parents, Benjamin Willard and Sarah Brooks, had twelve children, four of whom became clockmakers. Nothing is known of Ephraim’s early life in Grafton, where he most likely learned clock making from his elder brothers, Benjamin and Simon Willard.

Both Simon and Aaron Willard, the fourth brother to adopt the craft, are considered the most significant clockmakers in the United States. In 1777, Ephraim took up residence in Medford, Massachusetts, where he was listed as a clock and watchmaker. A lawsuit from 1784 identifies him as a trader residing in Boston. Roxbury tax records from 1795 to 1801 list Ephraim as a resident of Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 1801, he moved to Boston and purchased a house on Sheaf’s Lane. Boston tax records for 1804 list Ephraim as a clockmaker on Elliot Street. In 1805, he relocated to New York City where he was listed occasionally as a watchmaker until 1832.

Documentary evidence suggests that Ephraim was a wanderer, and consequently produced a smaller number of tall-case clocks than his more prolific brothers, Aaron and Simon. Surviving tallcase clocks made by Ephraim Willard are exceedingly rare.

On the dial, above the signature of Ephraim Willard, appears the name “Babcock.” Presumably the name refers to the gentleman for whom Willard made the tall-case clock. While the identity of this individual is unknown, there is a possibility that it is Adam Babcock (1740-1817), a successful Boston merchant who conducted a shipping trade with the West Indies and other foreign ports. In 1789, Adam Babcock was the only Babcock listed in the Boston City Directory that year. The Boston directory for 1802, published about the time the tall-case clock was made, listed only two Babcocks, one of which was Adam Babcock. Adam Babcock’s social stature and economic standing in the city of Boston are reflected in the portraits he commissioned from renowned artists such as John Singleton Copley and Gilbert Stuart. Babcock owned a townhouse in Boston, located on a lot that later became the site of the famous Tremont Hotel, and a country house in Brookline, Massachusetts . As a socially and financially prominent resident of Boston, Adam Babcock is potentially the individual identified simply as “Babcock” on the dial of the clock.

433. The Belin Family Federal Mahogany Armoire, early 19th c., Philadelphia, interior drawer bearing paper label with ink inscription “Mr. Henry Belin/ Wilmington, Del./(care of Messrs. du Pont)”, cavetto cornice over plain frieze, two paneled doors enclosing interior with shelves and medial belt of drawers, paneled sides, turned feet, height 80 in., width 47 1/4 in., depth 20 in. $6000/8000 Note: A number of construction details in addition to the primary and secondary woods indicate that this armoire was most likely made by a Haitian émigré cabinetmaker working in the city of Philadelphia. The influence of French furniture is seen in the pegged mortise-and-tenon joints and in the panels at the back. The use of mahogany for the back as well as the front and sides of the armoire and the thickness of the panels are indicative of West Indian cabinetmaking traditions.

Secondary woods such as white pine, used in the top and bottom of the case and in the construction of the cornice, and tulip poplar, found in the drawers, suggest that the armoire was most likely made in Philadelphia.

All these features relate the armoire to a small group of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Philadelphia furniture made by immigrant craftsmen from the island of Haiti. Three well-documented examples are part of the Stephen Girard Collection in Philadelphia. The turned legs of the present lot bear distinct similarity to the legs on one of the pieces in the Girard collection, a mahogany buffet, made c.1797, by Jean-Baptiste Laurent and Charles Domballe.

The armoire has a history of ownership in the Belin family, as indicated by the

102

provenance and confirmed by the paper label with ink inscription. In all likelihood, the armoire was made for 433 Augustus Belin (1774-1845), a French colonial planter, who sought refuge in Philadelphia after fleeing Haiti during the slave uprising of 1791. Belin became a member of a community of French émigrés who settled in Philadelphia in the 1790s to escape the horrors and chaos of the 1789 revolution in France and the slave rebellion in Haiti. This group of refugees included affluent planters and aristocrats as well as merchants and craftsmen. Augustus was an active member of a Masonic lodge that consisted of émigrés from both France and Haiti. Like Stephen Girard, Belin would have patronized the craftsmen who were part of this community of French immigrants.

The armoire passed to Augustus’ son, Henry Hedrick Belin (1804-1891), who is most likely the “Henry Belin” identified on the paper label. It later descended to his son, Henry Belin, Jr. (1843-1917). All three Belins served as head bookkeeper for the gunpowder works of Eleuthere Irenee Du Pont in Wilmington, Delaware.

A house on the grounds of the powder mills was occupied successively by Augustus Belin, Henry Hedrick Belin, and Henry Belin, Jr. between approximately 1826 and 1870. The inscription on the paper label implies that the armoire was delivered to the Du Pont gunpowder works. It is, therefore, quite probable that the armoire was used in the Belin family house.

434. A Very Rare American Classical Carved Mahogany Bergère, c.

1815, possibly Charles-Honoré Lannuier, New York, scrolled crest rail over rectangular padded back, reeded stiles above downswept arms, columnar ring-turned arm supports, bowed front seat rail, paneled saber legs. $5000/7500 Note: The earliest examples of American chairs that closely follow the French seating form identified as the bergère were produced in New York City in the early nineteenth century. One of the most significant examples, attributed to Duncan Phyfe, was made about 1833 for New York merchant Luman Reed. In the first quarter of the nineteenth century, French immigrant cabinetmakers such as CharlesHonoré Lannuier established shops in New York City. In all likelihood, French seating forms such as the bergère were introduced to the United States by these foreign craftsmen. The bergère offered here is undoubtedly of New York origin, as the front, back and side seat rails are ash, a secondary wood that occurs frequently in chairs produced in New York City in the early nineteenth century.

French immigrant cabinetmakers practicing in New York combined French and English design features to create furniture that was distinctly American. The present lot features columnar arm supports with rings, derived from French Directoire furniture, and stiles with reeding associated with English models. A pair of card tables bearing the label of Charles-Honoré Lannuier is distinguished by acanthuscarved saber legs, a distinctly English element, and Frenchinspired columnar supports with rings that relate to the arm supports of the bergère. Like the card tables made by Lannuier, the bergère represents a synthesis of French and English design elements.

451. Charles Giroux (France/Louisiana, c. 1828-1885, active New Orleans, 1868-1885), “View from Spanish Fort: Lake Pontchartrain near Bayou St. John”, c. 1870s, oil on canvas, signed lower right, hand-written title on old card tacked en verso of frame, 14 in. x 24 in., original stenciled and gilded frame.

in 1871-1881). He is mentioned—apparently for the last time—in the Daily Picayune for 25 October 1885, as well as in a list of the New Orleans Artists’ Association for the same year. His works are distinguished by their bright palette and smooth brushwork, their luminous skies, and the powerful recession of their compositions.

$30000/50000

All those characteristics are prominent in this enchanting picture, a new addition to Giroux’s restricted oeuvre. A similarly-signed painting (Rural Louisiana Landscape) in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art is almost precisely this same size (14 x 23 inches), and has an equivalent body of water to the right, as well as a shoreline crossing the picture diagonally. As one of the most radiant and appealing of the artist’s few works, and with a provenance (by unbroken family tradition) from the painter himself, this work is a highly significant addition to his oeuvre.

Provenance: Gift of the artist to his friend Jean-Alcée Augustin (1838-1888) and his wife Émilie Dupré Augustin (1842-1929); their son Charles Dupré Augustin (b.

1874) and his wife (marr. 1899) Josephine Antonia Rouse; their daughter Isabel Jesse Augustin (1901-1991) and her husband (marr. 1918) William Joseph Aicklen; Isabel Virginia Aicklen (b. 1923) and her husband Hays Hutchinson Clemens Jr. (1918-2001), parents of the present consignor.

Note: Though little has been discovered about Charles Giroux, his first picture known to have been painted in Louisiana is a work formerly in the W. E. Grove collection dated 1868, Marsh Scene with Heron on a Log; but since that canvas is manifestly the work of an already experienced painter, a date of c. 1828 for his birth in France has been inferred (though a Louisiana surveyor of the same name is known in 1853, and a “C. Giroux” is also listed as a cotton broker in New Orleans

452 452. Edward Everard Arnold (German/New Orleans, c.

1824-1866), “The Sternwheeler Antonia on a Louisiana Waterway”, 1864, oil on canvas, signed, dated and inscribed “New Orleans” lower right, “The Parker Gallery, London” label en verso, 21 in. x 29 1/2 in., period gilt frame. $15000/25000 Note: This historic picture represents the second of the riverboats named Antonia that saw service in the waterways of Louisiana during the Civil War, and were owned by the produce importer Angelo Lanata of New Orleans (who also owned another half-dozen such vessels during the war). The first Antonia was a much smaller ship—just over half this length—rigged as a two-masted schooner, and dependent completely on its sails. Its length was 70 feet, beam 21 feet, draft 5 ft.

6 in., with a burden of 70 tons; it had “one deck, two masts, a square stern, no galleries, and a plain head.” It had been built in Jackson County, MS (probably in Pascagoula) and completed on 19 March 1859: it was ‘enrolled’ for local service on March 25th in New Orleans, and had three successive ‘registrations’ (for wider regional service), on July 23rd, the following March 31st (both under Angelo Lanata’s ownership), and on 28 June 1861, this time under lease/charter to the State of Louisiana, for service in the Confederate Navy to “search all Bays, Bayous, Canals, creeks, inlets [and] Islands between the river Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, from Barrell Keys to the State of Texas.” It saw its most dramatic engagement on 12-13 February 1862, when it contested near Fort Livingston with the Union’s USS De Soto for the fate of the steamer Victoria, one of the first large ships to pass through the Federal blockade, out of the Mississippi (and which the first Antonia succeeded in rescuing). New Orleans fell to Admiral David Farragut on 25 April 1862, and the schooner was evidently captured: its Captain, A. Oscar Murphy, became a prisoner-of-war, from which status he was exchanged—at the Governor’s request—on 21 September 1862.

Angelo Lanata’s wealth, optimism, and persistence are all abundantly demonstrated in this extraordinary image of the second Antonia, ‘reborn’ as a steam sternwheeler of some 130 feet, with a single tall smokestack amidships,

108

and a trio of small chimneys aft. (Its design is in fact quite exactly paralleled by the related sternwheelers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as for example such as those still preserved in the Pacific Northwest.). In this painting the second Antonia flies a very large flag of the Kingdom of Italy (of which Angelo’s brother Francesco Lanata was the local Consul), presumably affording a convincing enough ‘foreign’ registration for it to ply undisturbed to and from the occupied city of New Orleans—where, indeed, Arnold’s inscription specifically localizes this wonderful painting. He depicts the steamer with a planter family or two on the upper deck, above a cargo of cotton bales, tended by the crew; in addition to the conspicuous European flag, the ship’s Italian name (which may perhaps have been that of Lanata’s wife) is prominently displayed both on the stern wheel-housing, and especially on an enormous pennant fluttering from the bow. This splendid image may perhaps be the best surviving documentation for the ‘second’ Antonia, since its very existence was unknown to the scholarly author who wrote a carefully researched article on the earlier schooner just twenty years ago (see references).

As a compelling visual document for the status of Louisiana coastal commerce during the War Between the States, this dramatic painting may quite possibly be unparalleled in historical importance.

Edward Everard Arnold was born in Württemberg in Germany, came to New Orleans around 1846, and specialized in marine, landscape, and portrait paintings; he died in the city on 14 October 1866. He is known to have proposed an ambitious but unexecuted cityscape (1850) to be painted with his older partner James Guy Evans, apparently as an extensive panorama of New Orleans from St. Patrick’s Church—the public result of which was to be an enormous print, to be issued in conjunction with the professional lithographer R. W. Fishbourne. That plan foundered for lack of public support, and Fishbourne transferred to San Francisco, also in c.1850.

(oval), period frame. $15000/25000 Provenance: From the sitter to her daughter, Anna Jeanne de la Villebeuvre Hyman; thence by descent in the family.

Note: Jeanne Roman de la Villebeuvre (1836-1889) is shown in all her finery at age 22 in this exquisite portrait by Francois Bernard. Noted for his realistic style of portraiture, Bernard had a special skill painting elaborate lace collars and overlays.

In the portrait offered here Madame de la Villebeuvre wears a teal dress with ornate lace embellishments throughout. She is adorned with bright red coral jewelry very much in vogue in 1858 when this work was painted. It should be noted that the bracelet she is wearing in the portrait is offered in the subsequent lot, 456.

Jeanne’s demure expression is strikingly similar to the one in the c. 1840-42 Jacques Amans portrait of her as a young girl, sold in these rooms on November 17, 2012, lot 100. The soft, almond eyes and slightly pursed lips have matured from those of a young girl to those of the elegant young lady depicted here.

Jeanne Roman de la Villebeuvre was the daughter of André Bienvenu Roman (1795-1866), the ninth Governor of Louisiana, and Aimée Françoise Parent (b.

1797). Raised at Cabahanoce Plantation on the Mississippi River in St. James Parish, Jeanne Roman was one of five children. Her father was a successful sugar plantation owner and served two terms as Governor of Louisiana (1831-35 and 1839-43). On December 20, 1852, Jeanne married Elie Victor Farault de la Villebeuvre (1829-1889) in New Orleans. De la Villebeuvre’s father was the owner of the Hurst-De la Villebeuvre Plantation house. Built by Cornelius Hurst, a wealthy businessman, in 1832, the house was originally sited at what is presently the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Joseph Streets. Hurst went bankrupt in 1837 and sold the plantation to Jean Ursin de la Villebeuvre II (1802-1881) who owned the property until 1859. The house was moved in 1922 to No. 3 Garden Lane where it stands today in a beautifully restored state of preservation.

Reproduced: Frick Art Reference Library, New York (negative/ photograph no. 19726) Note: This very significant painting is a heretofore unpublished masterwork fully signed and dated by the very first professional painter of the Gulf South, which has had an unbroken descent in the same family since its creation. It represents one of the most pivotal figures in American history; and its extraordinarily detailed military uniform offers new evidence, also unsuspected and unpublished, about exceptional items of regalia worn by the officers of the early republic.

variants of a single half-figure type, and all show this same badge in the same position: the primary version of that final painting (of c.

1820, once attributed to Gilbert Stuart) is in the National Portrait Gallery: variants of it are in the Historical Society of Frederick Co. MD; the Filson Society in Louisville; and the Historic New Orleans Collection; two modern copies of it (by Alaux and Levy, c. 1900) are in the Louisiana State Museum. Since Salazar’s ceremonial painting first introduces this important motif, that thus recurs in at least six of the later portraits representing Wilkinson, it is necessary to explain the origins and character of this badge.

In actual fact (though the circumstance has apparently never before been noted), General Wilkinson’s large enameled plaque is a speciallymade example—evidently in embossed silver, elaborately surfaced in blue enamel and with its relief elements gilded, though the originals were only in engraved silver—of the reverse of one of the United States President’s “Indian Peace Medals” issued by both George Washington and John Adams to influential Native American chiefs, for securing the allegiance of their nations. The practice had been begun earlier by Britain, France, and Spain, for the same purpose; but the native leaders uniformly wished to exchange their badges from previous powers for examples issued by the United States. The first such large silver ovals are dated 1789: they were presented to the Creeks at the Treaty of New York in 1790. Subsequent versions are dated 1792, 1793, and 1795; their finest specimens—now excessively rare— are by the Philadelphia silversmith Joseph Richardson Jr. (1752-1831), whom George Washington esteemed highly enough to appoint to the Philadelphia Mint.

James Wilkinson had married the wealthy Quaker heiress Ann “Nancy” The first secure fact in the history of this Biddle of Philadelphia in 1778, and much noteworthy canvas is that it was on loan of their time was spent in that city to the Smithsonian Institution in (though she devotedly followed all his Washington at the moment when that postings to the western frontier).

466. Barthélémy Lafon (French/American, 1769-1820), “Plan de l’Habitation de Mr. Michel Dragon arpentee par ordre de B. Lafon Ing., le mois de decembre, 1815”, watercolor and ink manuscript map, 13 1/2 in. x 29 in., matted, cypress frame, with descriptive brass plaque. $25000/35000 Provenance: Descended in the New Orleans family of Michel Dragon (1739-1821).

Note: French-born architect, surveyor, and engineer Barthélémy Lafon (1769-1820) created this detailed map of a 23,000 acre tract fronting on Bay St. Louis for owner Michel Dragon in 1815.

Lafon, who settled in New Orleans about 1789, was an accomplished cartographer serving as Deputy for the Surveyor General for Orleans County between 1805 and 1809.

His most well-known map, completed in 1806, included the Territory of Orleans, as well as West Florida and a portion of the Mississippi territory, Carte Générale du Territoire d’Orleans Comorenant Aussi la Floride occidentale et une Portion du Territoire du Mississippi. Working for both public and private clients, he detailed forts from Mobile, Alabama, to La Balize at the mouth of the Mississippi River, planned the subdivision of plantations to create new faubourgs in the city, and helped provide Andrew Jackson with topographic information that led

114

to victory at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815.

This survey is distinguished by a wealth of detail and visual clues about the landscape: a stag leaps through the green-washed trees, cattle stand on the lands suitable for grazing, and a wild boar roams through a thicket of shrubs. Paths, bayous, and prairies are shown, along with a village, perhaps home to Native Americans. The vast tract stretched along the Wolfe River for 14 miles inland from the bay and was bordered by Baie St. Louis, Bayou de L’isle and Bayou du Portage.

The much smaller tracts of neighbors are detailed in the lower right.

Michel Dragon (1739-1821) was a Greek native who arrived in New Orleans about 1760 as a soldier in the French Army. After 1764, he served in the Spanish Militia and fought the British at Pensacola with Bernardo de Galvez. By the time of the survey, he was 70 years of age and had amassed a fortune. The same year, 1815, he married his long-time consort Françoise Monplasir. Six years later, he died and was buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. A handsome portrait of him from the school of José Salazar was donated to the Louisiana State Museum in 1914, along with a portrait of his only child, Marianne Celeste Dragon (Dimitry) (1777-1846).

The scalloped and spurred skirt on this armoire relates to that noted on many of the 18th and 19th century cabriole leg armoires.

491

$3000/5000 Note: This rare architectural design by Garnaud is 1 of 81 original entries for the “Retour de Cendres” competition (restitution of Napoleon’s remains), sponsored by the French Chamber of Deputies. The Exposition was held at the École des Beaux-Arts and juried by celebrated French artists: Ingres, David d’Angers, and Pierre Fontaine. Though no winning entry emerged from the competition, Garnaud’s grisaille watercolor and pencil design of an aedicular mausoleum with a Greco-Roman urn mounted on an octagonal pedestal represents the Neoclassical/ Empire design favored by the jury; the fluted Corinthian style pilasters and sculptural frieze along the base, that recount the historical battles and accomplishments of Napoleon, draws upon Augustus Caesar’s Altar of Peace and the Arc de Triomphe. Designs for Napoleon’s tomb were particularly problematic, because they were commissioned under the strict censorship laws of King Louis-Philippe that suppressed republican/ democratic expression from the arts, and Napoleon came to power under the democratic ideologies of the French Revolution. In this architectural design, Garnaud cleverly combines the Neoclassical/ Empire style of the aristocracy with democratic allegories of fraternity/ equality, and liberty, evidenced by the winged victory that subdues the lion and the Declaration of the Rights of Man tablet the Eagle (a symbol of Napoleon) grasps on the lower left. Garnaud was one of the most renowned French architects of the 19th century. He designed several churches in France, published a book on Christian architecture, Etudes d’Architecture chrétienne (1857), and received the prestigious Legion of Honor in 1859.

511. Attributed to David Martin, FSA (British, 1737-1797), “Lieutenant John Ross of the 34th Foot (Cumberland) Company”, c.

1769, oil on canvas, 49 1/2 in. x 40 in., antique frame. $40000/60000 Note: Captain John Ross was a decorated Scotsman in the British Army, who served in the French and Indian War as a lieutenant in the 34th “Regiment of Foot.” His first commission was the Battle of Havana, Cuba (1762). After the British seized Fort Morro from the Spanish, the 34th and 43rd regiments secured the city until peace was declared with the Spanish, and Cuba was exchanged for Florida and later Louisiana. Following the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in which France ceded Illinois and most of its U.S. territories, Ross was sent from New Orleans to Fort de Chartres (Illinois) to negotiate peace with the Ottawa Indians, who resisted British rule. During this expedition, he made a map of the route up the Mississippi River from Louisiana to Fort de Chartres, which was later published in Thomas Jefferys, The American Atlas (London, 1778).

This magnificent, 3/4 length portrait depicts Ross’ status as an elite officer: the cap and cartridge pouch on the upholstered chair are distinctive of his company, and the framed landscape painting of a river scene behind him is believed to be representative of his Mississippi River explorations.

This portrait was commissioned shortly after Ross’ return to London, and may have been exhibited in 1770 at the Society of Artists, where Martin held the office of treasurer and exhibited multiple works annually.

David Martin studied under fellow Scottish artist Allan Ramsay, Sir Joshua Reynold’s chief rival portraitist of the London elite. By the 1760s, he was Ramsay’s chief assistant, and in 1767, he had set up his own lucrative practice in London, later relocating to Edinburgh. Martin was the leading portrait artist working in the Scottish capital until his retirement in the early 1780s. The Ross portrait, when purchased by a North Carolina tobacco baron in the 1880s, was identified as an original work by Reynolds, but was recently reattributed to Martin. It remained in the same North Carolina family until 2006, when purchased by the present consignor.

Lieutenant Henley served much of the War of 1812 on the New Orleans station. He was promoted to Commander, July 24, 1813. Henley commanded the schooner USS Carolina during the Battle of New Orleans. Though his ship was ultimately destroyed by fire from British batteries, he was recognized as a pivotal contributor to the greatest American land victory of the War of 1812, perhaps most importantly protecting General Jackson’s flank on the Mississippi River.

Note: A fine, proof state for an early engraving of the monumental portrait of Major General Andrew Jackson by John Vanderlyn, commissioned by the city of New York and completed during 1819-1820. No other example of this print has been located, nor is it mentioned in James G. Barber’s Andrew Jackson: A Portrait Study, Wash., DC: National Portrait Gallery, 1991. The publishing of this print may have never proceeded beyond the proof state and this example may be unique. ‘Smith scul.’ likely refers to John Rubens Smith (1775-1849), the noted, English-born artist and engraver who is known to have been working in Brooklyn and Manhattan from c. 1814-1820s, before relocating to Philadelphia in the 1830s.

skills in drawing and painting under the tutelage of John Thomas Serres, drawing instructor at the school and noted marine artist.These rare watercolors and logbooks afford the viewer a rare glimpse of life aboard a British manof-war during the War of 1812 and include striking visualizations of naval events previously unrecorded-including the blockade of the USS Constellation at Hampton Roads, chasing privateers off Charleston and Savannah, and the amphibious actions against Cumberland Island and Point Peter, Georgia. The Head drawings are an important new addition to the contemporary visual record of the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake Bay and Southeastern coastline of the United States.

She was recaptured, along with Venus, by a British squadron, subsequently participating in the reduction of Ile de France the following year. In 1812 she was laid up in ordinary at Chatham and the following year, she was refitted as a troop transport serving in this capacity during 1814-15 with Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane’s fleet on the North American station (including the Chesapeake, New Orleans, and Georgia campaigns).

Note: Kendall was in Texas as a reporter when he heard the news of the Mexican War. As a war correspondent with Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, he captured a cavalry flag, was wounded in the knee, and earned widespread praise for devising methods for swift transmission of his war dispatches to the Picayune. He fitted a steamer as a press ship and took the news to New Orleans where the Picayune rushed it to press. From there it was dispatched by horseback to other newspapers in the country. Nebel, originally from Germany, traveled to America and lived in Mexico from 1829 until 1834. His plates for this folio are considered the very best American battle scenes made.

A contemporary reviewer described the work as follows: “We have never seen anything to equal the artistic skill, perfection of design, marvellous beauty of execution, delicacy of truth of coloring, and lifelike animation of figures ... They present the most exquisite specimens ever exhibited in this country of the art of colored lithography; and we think that great praise ought to be awarded to Mr. Kendall for having secured such brilliant and beautiful and costly illustrations for the faithful record of the victories of the American army” (New Orleans Picayune, 15 July 1850).

540. William Henry Rinehart (American, 18251874), “Portrait Bust of a Woman”, 1874, marble, signed and dated on back support, socle base, height 26 3/4 in., width 20 in., depth 9 in. $7000/10000 Note: William Henry Rinehart was an established 19th century sculptor, who specialized in marble and bronze portraits in the Classical style. Rinehart was born in Maryland and studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, before pursuing his studies in Rome under the support of his leading patron William T. Walters, after whom the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore was founded. In 1858, he established a workshop in Rome and became one of the preeminent portrait sculptors of the New England elite. By the 1860s, he was so successful that “patrons had to wait two or three years for completion of portrait busts.” Rinehart left his estate in trust of MICA to later establish the Rinehart School of Sculpture (1890) and a Rinehart fellowship in his honor.

This rare “portrait of a woman” is believed to be one of the five women he sculpted in 1874 before his death. The portrait bears a striking resemblance to the plaster and marble busts of Mrs. Thomas Alexander Scott, and may possibly be the portrait of her sister Betsy Riddle. In a letter dated October 3, 1872, Rinehart wrote to Walters, while staying with the Scott family in Philadelphia, that he “was making three busts” that he intended to finish up and ship back to his studio in Rome after another “two or three sittings.” The other possible sitter is Ms. Lillie Conrad Perrie, who appears in the inventory of one of the three executors of Rinehart’s will. The Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) currently holds the plaster models of the five women Rinehart sculpted in 1874.

$6000/8000 Provenance: Descended in the family of Étienne Achille Guibet (1840, France – 1878, New Orleans) Note: This beautifully inscribed saber made by Thomas, Griswold & Co. was presented to Capt. E.A. Guibet for his role in the civic battles in Reconstruction Era New Orleans.

Captain Étienne Achille Guibet, a French émigré to Louisiana, first distinguished himself as an officer in the Confederate Army. Following the end of the Civil War, he returned to New Orleans and joined the White League, a paramilitary group which fought to overturn the control of the Republican Party in state government and militia. Capt.

Guibet played a crucial role in the Battle of Liberty Place on September 14, 1874, which was one of the White League’s most noted rebellions.

Upon his death, the officers and members of his command, from the White League, the Washington Artillery, and of other military organizations in the city, assembled in full uniform and attended his funeral.

555. A Rare British Officer’s Saber of the 43rd (Monmouthshire) Regiment of Foot, c. 1803-1818, gilt brass unfullered saber with double-edged point, fishskin hilt, lionhead pommel, circular langets and bugle horn relief in crossguard with Royal Arms and Regimental insigne etched on blade, overall length 35 in. $6000/9000

Note: This beautiful saber is unique to the 43rd (Monmouthshire) Regiment of Foot (1741-1881). The 43rd has an illustrious history: it fought in the American Revolution at the battles of Lexington (1775) and Bunkerhill (1775) and in the French and Indian Wars (1754-1763) joining Lieutenant Ross and the 34th at the Battle of Havana (1762). See lot # 511. In 1815, the Regiment fought against General Andrew Jackson under the command of Edward Pakenham in the Battle of New Orleans (1815), before being deployed to Belgium to fight in the Battle of Waterloo (1815). The curved blade on the saber was inspired by the eastern scimitar that officers encountered in the Egyptian campaigns, which became quite popular by the late 1790s. In 1803, the British Army officially adopted the curved saber for its light infantry. The 43rd (Monmouthshire) Regiment of Foot, however, resisted 555 (detail) army regulations, preferring a more embellished unfullered blade. Notable differences include the absence of the royal cipher on a pierced knuckle-bow with the crown and GR insignia of King George III, and the elaborate fishskin grip studded with gilt rosettes. Standard issue sabers also lacked the ornate engraving and gilding on the blade that are still visible on this sword: the Royal Arms and Regimental Insigne and Number XLIII on blade.

556. Achille Perelli (Italian/New Orleans, 1822-1891), “Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard”, 1861, plaster bust, signed and dated on reverse, height 13 1/2 in., width 6 5/8 in., depth 6 1/2 in. $800/1200 Note: According to the New Orleans’ Times- Picayune (Sept. 24, 1861), this rare bust of the Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was sculpted after Beauregard’s triumphal defeat of the Union Army at the First Battle of Bull Run (July 21, 1861) — the first major land battle of the American Civil War, and the reason for Beauregard’s subsequent promotion to full General (Aug. 31, 1861). This celebratory bust, designed to rally patriotism for the Confederacy, was made available to the public at Mr. Lafergne’s [sic] store at the corners of Toulouse and Royal streets. Achille Perelli’s bust was so popular that copies were acquired by the Louisiana State and the Delgado Museums, becoming a formative part of their American sculpture collection through the 1960s. In 1966, the Delgado museum (now NOMA) featured the Beauregard bust in a “Rediscovered Treasures” exhibit that paid tribute to the pioneering works of early Louisiana artists. Perelli’s portraits comprised a central portion of the exhibit, because as one of “Louisiana’s first sculptors” he captured the spirit of his times with “a directness and sincerity that lift them above any banality.”

Achille Perelli was an Italian/New Orleans sculptor classically trained at the Academy of Art in Milan. He joined forces with the revolutionary Giuseppi Garibaldi in 1848, and was forced to flee Italy after the nascent Republic was defeated in 1849. Perelli settled in New Orleans in 1850. By 1851, Perelli was a well established sculptor and crayon portraitist, receiving many busts and statue commissions, including a portrait bust of Abraham Lincoln, and a statue of Stonewall Jackson for the Army of Northern Virginia Monument in Metairie Cemetery, Metairie, LA (1880). Perelli was also one of the founding fathers and drawing instructors of the Southern Art Union and Artist Association of New Orleans.

$1000/1500 Note: Gatteaux was a sculptor and medallist. Among his accomplishments was the invention of a machine for duplicating sculpture. He also designed and engraved paper money, lottery tickets, tax stamps and other official and legal paper, of the sort represented here. This amusing engraving of a sans-culottes (beggar), a symbolic warning to those who would put their trust in such ephemeral guarantors of wealth, typifies the satirical iconography of the early French Republic.

The engraver could be any of several members of the Tardieu family, which spread over three generations of French 18th century printmaking and were active in all areas of the industry. The most likely choices are: Jean Baptiste Tardieu (1768-1837), Jean Baptiste Pierre Tardieu (1746-1816) and Pierre Alexandre Tardieu (1756-1844).

In the 1840s, Davis designed for industrialist Joel Rathbone a country house named “Kenwood,” which was built south of Albany, New York. The influential landscape architect and theorist Andrew Jackson Downing featured in his book The Architecture of Country Houses (1850) an illustration of the drawing room at Kenwood. Visible in the view of the room is a center table that was possibly designed by Davis. It is known that Davis supplied Rathbone with furniture designs for his Gothic Revival villa. A center table that descended in the Rathbone family bears similarity to the table depicted in the engraved illustration of the Kenwood drawing room. The lot offered here exhibits features that echo those on the Rathbone center table and shares details with similar center tables that have come to light in the past few decades. Like the Gothic Revival center tables based on the design attributed to Davis, the recently discovered table offered here was possibly made by a leading New York cabinetmaker such as Alexander Roux (active 1837-1881) or Charles A. Baudouine (active 1829-1855).

Meeks, New York, dodecagonal Egyptian marble top over conforming molded frieze, incurvate standard with round arches and engaged columns, plinth base, scrolled feet, casters, height 29 3/4 in., diameter 37 in. $6000/8000 Note: The lot offered here is identical in form, decoration, and proportions to a Late Classical mahogany center table labeled by the New York City cabinetmaking firm of John and Joseph W. Meeks, sold in these rooms on September 14, 2013. The printed paper label on the latter table bears the addresses of the company’s wareroom and manufactory at 43 & 45 Broad Street in New York City and at 23 Chartres Street in New Orleans. In 1821, Joseph W. Meeks, founder of the firm, opened a warehouse in New Orleans. New Orleans city directories list the Meeks branch at 29 Chartres Street in 1830, 29 Chartres Street and 39 Royal Street in 1834, and 23 Chartres Street in 1838.

While center tables in a variety of designs are illustrated in the famous Meeks broadside of 1833, none exhibit the bold architectural quality of the currently offered table, distinguished by the complexly molded frieze and substantial concave-sided standard with round arches springing from engaged columns. A nearly identical table with an octagonal top, bearing the stamp of J. and J.W. Meeks, sold in these rooms on September 15, 2012. The collection of the New York State Museum in Albany includes a very similar center table with a Meeks paper label bearing the addresses of No. 14 Vesey Street, New York, and 23 Chartres Street, New Orleans.

This table exhibits the same base and standard as the lot in the current sale, but differs from the latter center table in the plain, unmolded frieze and round top.

Werner’s Fine Furniture and Antique Shop, 250 South 22nd Street, Philadelphia, PA. $1500/2500 Note: The eccentric combination of Rococo motifs and the style of carving exhibited by this innovative reclining chair relate it to the work of the Philadelphia cabinetmaking firm of Klauder, Deginther & Co.

In manner of execution, the female term figures at the ends of the arms on the present lot relate to the male term figures surmounting the legs of a Rococo Revival carved rosewood center table attributed to Klauder & Deginther, now part of the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA. 605.

Albert Eugene Gallatin (American, 1882-1952), “Composition”, oil on canvas, initialed lower right, titled on gallery inventory label en verso, 23 3/8 in. x 15 1/2 in., original frame. $10000/15000 Note: Albert Eugene Gallatin (1882- 1952), often referred to as the “Park Avenue Cubist,” was a pioneering collector and painter of Modern American art. He was a member of the American Abstract Artist Group, and he founded the Gallery of Living Art in 1927—the first modern art museum in the United States. The early success of modern art following the Armory Show (1913), and the subsequent rise of Abstract Expressionism are largely attributed to Gallatin’s patronage. Gallatin’s own paintings reflect his commitment to modern abstract art; the monochromatic colors and bold geometric shapes in “Composition” offered here draw upon synthetic cubism and notions of the sublime that New York artists popularized, such Ad Reinhardt and Barnett Newman.

“Reputedly quiet and self-effacing about his own art, Gallatin considered his painting an activity that enhanced his understanding of the work he collected. Believing that the more separated art was from life, the more it represented aesthetic truth, he avoided descriptive titles for his works, preferring instead to give them the unspecific title “Composition.”

Illustrated: Robert Hinckley, ed. William Woodward, American Impressionist. New Orleans: MPress, 2009, p. 19, pl. 8.

Note: In 1914, New Orleans philanthropist Sara Lavinia Hyams died, bequeathing her jewelry collection to be sold with the proceeds used to construct a fountain and wading pool in Audubon Park and City Park for the children of the city. In 1920-21, two identical fountains and pools were created by the sculptor Isidore Konti (1862-1938) and the Albert Weiblen Marble & Granite Works. The Sara Lavinia Hyams Memorial Fountain in City Park is part of the Carousel Garden while the one in Audubon Park is located on the river side of Magazine Street. Robert Mayfield, the art critic for The Times-Picayune, commented on the life-like qualities of Konti’s sculptures in the summer of 1921: “…the many children splashing in the park are so much like the bronze figures that it is almost impossible to distinguish the real from the artificial. They are on such perfect terms of intimacy already that one is almost certain to see some boy or girl with an arm about one of the bronze children or petting the bronze dog quite as though they were all there together in real life enjoying the shade, the cool water and the delightful and picturesque surroundings.”

677

Noted New Orleans artist William Woodward painted this lovely, impressionistic view of the Hyams fountain and wading pool in City Park on May 24, 1921, shortly after the fountain was completed in March of that year.

Children frolic and splash in the shallow pool while their parents and charges, in brightly colored dresses, sit on the benches that flank the pool. Woodward is known for his views of the French Quarter, Newcomb College campus and the environs of Uptown New Orleans near his home; sites in City Park are a rare subject matter for him.

Butler worked as a pottery decorator and in the metalwork program at Newcomb. She joined the faculty in 1904 as an Instructor in Drawing and Design, achieving a full professorship in 1934. The vase offered here is a beautiful example of the use of bold line and the skillful juxtaposition of colors close in value to create a symmetrical floral pattern that typifies the Newcomb Pottery created during the early period.

Illustrated: Jean Bragg and Dr. Susan Saward, Painting the Town: The Woodward Brothers Come to New Orleans, New Orleans: Jean Bragg Gallery, 2004, p. 248.

Note: Painted during a visit to the family homestead in Seekonk, MA in 1927, “Rock Ribbed (New England),” is a lovely example of Ellsworth Woodward’s mature Impressionist style. In his remarks for a Tulane exhibition catalogue, William Cullison writes: “The influence of Impressionism upon the Woodwards is to be seen in the beautiful effects of light and atmosphere which characterize their work generally, and, in oil paintings, in their exuberant brushwork and vibrant colorism.” In this landscape, Woodward employs softly rendered explosive color juxtaposed against the dark stand of pine trees in the background. His title for the work refers to the gray line of rocks which grade the hilly field and provide compositional structure.

Involved with both the Arts & Crafts Club of New Orleans and the New Orleans Art School, Heldner maintained a studio at 732 St. Peter Street beginning in 1935. He painted views of the French Quarter – from its hidden courtyards to its grand public spaces and rooftop vistas. The 1945 work offered here is a rare example of a large exhibition size canvas of a Vieux Carré garden and courtyard. This vivid composition of the courtyard adjacent to Heldner’s studio depicts a variety of flora and fauna in full summer bloom.

Acquired by Leigh Barrett Latimer during an exhibition at the legendary Edgewater Gulf Hotel in Biloxi, MS. Leigh Barrett Latimer was a pioneer woman in the oil industry as well as a supporter and advocate of the arts which included the Jackson Symphony League, Mississippi Museum of Art, and the Woodland Garden Club. She was also one of the organizers of Allison’s Art Colony at Allison’s Wells Hotel in Way, MS. Note: In the 1950s and 1960s, educated artists in Mississippi were influenced by Abstract Expressionism. Mildred Wolfe was among the many artists who chose to stay true to her vision and paint in a representational fashion. Working in a distinct, personal style, Wolfe painted moments and places that she wanted to remember. In this very rare view of a nun walking down Royal Street in the French Quarter, Wolfe used the effect of light and shadow to create a composition that fully captures the time of day.

Note: After Mac Anderson completed his studies at Tulane University School of Architecture, he joined his brothers Walter and Peter Anderson in Ocean Springs, MS, developing a series of small figurine sets at Shearwater Pottery. From these early collaborative works, Mac’s mature style emerged: an affinity for the flora, fauna, and people of the Gulf Coast that he beautifully captures through “reticulated floral designs” woven into exquisite patterns of daily life that are clearly visible in the previous lot, “Soft Shelling” (1989), “Skiff Panel” (1989), “Pelican Nest” (1990), and in “Oyster Tonging,” the painting offered here.

718

186

The lasting legacy of the Andersons’ works is ubiquitous throughout the South.

Mac’s pottery toured the U.S. and Europe in the late 1930s with the Robineaux Exhibition, and the brothers were commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) to execute murals and ceramic tile panels for the Ocean Springs High School. According to Anne Craton, the field coordinator of the Public Works of Art Project, the Anderson commission was the “most significant and interesting works of art done under the auspice of the program.” Other famous paintings by Mac, such as Scene of the Singing River and Pitcher Plants and Pine Trees, can be seen at the Jackson County Courthouse, Pascagoula and the Ocean Springs Women’s Club.

The proportion of the side panels are close to that of late 18th century Louisiana armoires, albeit the upper section of this garde manger uses an upper panel with two screens and the central panel with a single screen; (see Holden figs. 28, 30 & 31, pp.150152).

The turned legs which continue from the stiles are often found on Louisiana armoires of the 19th century, c. 1815-35; (see Holden figs. 45-48, pp.

160-1).

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.

D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable.

E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate.

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.

6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.
