25. LouisFrançois, Baron Lejeune (French, 17751848), “A Noble Napoleonic Cadet”, c. 1805, oil on canvas, signed “F. Lejune” on edge of the table at left center, with Atlantic Transports, Paris, and Davies, Turner & Co., Ltd., London labels en verso of frame, the latter inscribed “Rothschild”; inscribed in pencil “signé F. Lejune” en verso of stretcher, 36 3/4 in. x 29 in., in a very good period frame. $4000/6000 Provenance: With the collector, Wayne Francis Palmer (1895-1983), Springlake Plantation, Mobile, AL; thence by descent in the Palmer Family.

Wayne Francis Palmer was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover; Dartmouth College; and the U.S. Naval Academy. Palmer is noted for his many accomplishments in the field of engineering, which include the design and construction of the Bankhead and George Wallace subaqueous Tunnels in Mobile, AL, and the publications Developments in Trench-Type Tunnel Construction, 1975, and Men of Ships and Steel, 1935.

An avid art and antiques collector, Palmer was equally philanthropic. As a supporter of the Mobile Museum of Art, Palmer donated numerous works to that institution throughout the years, including: “View of Girgenti, Sicily” by Camille Jean Baptiste Corot (G73.17.02); “Woman Reading” by Pablo Picasso (G77.40.01); “Vase of Flowers” by Pierre August Renoir (G71.24.01); “Morning,” “Noon”, and “Night” by Dominique Serres (G75.16.01 - .03); and “Grand Bank - East Hampton” by Thomas Moran (G74.22.01), among others.

Note: This evocative picture perfectly catches the understated mood and quiet sensuality of Lejeune’s earliest manner. His subject--perhaps one of the aides-decamp of Marshal Berthier, whose uniforms and accoutrements he collectively painted in an extended series from 1800 to 1812--is depicted as the young scion of a noble house (his family’s shield of arms, with a princely or ducal coronet, is shown in the upper corner), at the delicate stage of transition from adolescence to manhood.

His direct gaze, tender expression, and overlarge hands make it clear that Lejeune responded directly to the dreaming appeal of this handsome young cadet. The

10

most striking thing about the image is the nonchalant way in which a high officer’s sword is being disengaged from its sheath: the blade is prominently inscribed “SA MA...”, which could even be a reference to “HIS MA[jesty] (the Emperor). It may be that the eventual identification of the armorial blazon (whose coronet is capped with a cross, and whose charges are “party, silver with three sable bars barry, surmounted by a bend gules; and a Cross of Jerusalem, gules”) will perhaps be traced to a knightly 25 or clerical family which might have won the latter element in the Crusades. Or it may be that details of the uniform, helmet, sword, or arms might reveal a closer link with Napoleon himself.

Baron Lejeune was born in Strasbourg and studied in the Parisian studio of PierreHenri de Valençiennes (1750-1819), but enlisted in the army in 1792. Until his retirement 32 years later, he had a brilliant career with the engineers and artillery, and as aide-de-camp to General Jacob, then Marshal Berthier, and chief of staff to General Davout, then Marshal Oudinot. He became a sergeant in 1793, a lieutenant in 1794, a captain in 1798, a colonel in 1808, and a general in 1812; he rose successively through three ranks to become a commander of the Légion d’Honneur, and was also a commander of the Order of Maximilian, a member of the Order of Leopold, and a Knight of Saint-Louis. He was ennobled as a Baron d’Empire in 1810. He was married in 1821 to the sister of General Clary, a niece of the Queen of Sweden; in 1824 the King of Sweden conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Order of the Sword. Throughout his career he kept his artistic materials close to hand, and became celebrated for the truth and vigor of his battle-pictures, some of the grandest of which are at Versailles. He was a precocious pioneer in the introduction of lithography to France: in 1806 he drew and printed an edition of his Cossack on the Munich press of Alois Senefelder (1771-1834), the inventor of the technique, and that same week presented a print of it to Napoleon in Paris. His windblown and richly colored Self-Portrait of 1813, in which he is shown sketching on his helmet, in full uniform, is one of the principal icons of Romantic art. He became director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse in 1837, and mayor of that city in 1841; he died there of a heart attack at 73.

50. Sir Martin Archer Shee, P.R.A. (Irish/British, 17691850), “Master George Finch (1794-1870)”, c. 1805, oil on canvas, unsigned, titled lower right, 42 5/8 in. x 30 3/4 in., in the very good original carved, gessoed, and giltwood frame. $5000/7500 Provenance: With the collector, Wayne Francis Palmer (1895-1983), Springlake Plantation, Mobile, AL; thence by descent in the Palmer Family.

Note: Master Finch was the illegitimate son of the ninth Earl of Winchilsea (4 November 1752-2 August 1826), who was a lieutenant colonel with the British forces during the American Revolutionary War, and became a celebrated batsman and patron of cricket; he never married. Young George is shown here just preceding or during his years at Harrow School, after which he went up to Cambridge. He became successively a Member of Parliament for Lymington (182021), Stamford (1832-37), and Rutland (1846-47); on his father’s death he inherited the family estates, including Burley House, Rutland. By his second wife, Lady Louisa Somerset (daughter of the sixth Duke of Beaufort), he had a son, George Henry Finch (1835-1907). The latter published a guide to Burley House, which however lists only one portrait of our sitter, as an adult, “presented to him by his tenants” who chose Samuel Laurence of London (1812-1884) to draw the likeness. From this we can infer that this painting was separated from the family collection by the middle of the 19th century, though it does bear a

16

contemporaneous “butler’s inscription,” as is typical of paintings exhibited in the picture galleries of the great English country houses (his father’s portrait from Burley does, as well).

Martin Archer Shee was an exact contemporary of Sir Thomas Lawrence (17691830), who preceded him from 1820 to 1830 as President of the Royal Academy.

Shee left his native Dublin in 1788, and was introduced in that year to Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792), the first President of the R. A. (1768). Shee was made an Associate in 1798, and an Academician in 1800. He married and moved into the house in Cavendish Square vacated at the death of George Romney, setting himself up as Romney’s successor (though he had early competition from his older contemporaries Hoppner and Raeburn, and especially Lawrence). This exceptional portrait is of the large size that Shee reserved for his best three-quarter-length figures--or seated full figures--and is remarkably precocious in its inspired composition. The winsome schoolboy is shown seated on a rock, as it were in one of the glens of Burley Park, with a glint of water below, and one of the typical hills of Rutland in the distance; Shee used this identical composition (and a slight modification of this same costume) some 15 years later, in his smaller painting of his own son William, in c. 1820 (Royal Academy Collection). This picture brilliantly reflects the crisp and confident delineation of Shee’s best early manner; its autumnal foliage naturally sets off the variegated browns of the sitter’s hair and draperies, resulting in an image that may well be ranked as one of the painter’s quintessential masterpieces.

School of Melchior d’Hondecoeter (Dutch, 1636-1695), “A Family of Fowl with a Turkey in a Farmyard” and “Two Cocks Fighting Amid Chickens and Peacocks in the Garden of a Domed Villa”, c. 1700, oil on wood panel, both unsigned, each with 19th c. framer labels of “Alexander Cooper/ 32 Constitution St./ Leith [Scotland]” en verso of frames, each 12 in. x 15 in., the first in a foliate giltwood frame, the second in a 19th c. cove-molded giltwood frame. $30000/50000 Provenance: With the collector, Wayne Francis Palmer (1895-1983), Springlake Plantation, Mobile, AL; thence by descent in the Palmer Family.

Note: These very beautiful paintings have a jewel-like precision, both of pictorial form and of preservation; they show only widely scattered, small patches of inpaint, as for example three tiny areas on the turkey and a random few in the foliage. They perfectly exemplify a compositional pattern which Hondecoeter used from about 1670 through the remaining quarter-century of his life (and which proved still widely appealing for years after his death): “birds … seen close up in the centre of the [design], others entering from left or right, their bodies

sometimes cropped by the frame, the middle ground blocked by a … tree or architectural ruins across one half of the [composition], the remaining side opening to a distant vista [of] an Italianate mansion … or a farmhouse” (Richard C. Mühlberger, The Dictionary of Art, 34 vols., Jane Turner, ed., London 1996, 14:706). Such was the popularity of this ‘Raphael of bird painters’ that his compositional formulas were very widely repeated for well over a century after his death, though very rarely with the skill and assurance seen in this remarkable pair of paintings (and evidently not by either of the identified followers specifically named by Mühlberger, that is Adriaen van Oolen or Aert Schouman). As one eminent authority on Dutch art has observed, “The broad highlighting of the feathers appears to be unique to the artist of the Palmer paintings.” A highly diagnostic change from Hondecoeter’s personal technique is the execution of these splendid pictures on wood panels: the originator of the classic pattern painted exclusively on canvas, and at somewhat larger size; this artist’s choice of small panels as his pictorial supports insures an even more lustrous finish, and a concentration of the images into the perfect size for ‘cabinet pictures.’

chop on the shallow water. Many of these same similarities of pictorial size and motifs are shared by other pictures of Bakhuizen’s; and—apart from a more tempestuous setting—the shape of the sails here closely mirrors those in the National Gallery of Art’s early masterpiece of Ships Off a Rocky Coast, signed in 1667.

$75000/125000

Though born on the far side of the Ems estuary and first trained as a clerk in his native East Friesian town of Emden, Bakhuizen moved with his family to Amsterdam in 1649, where he came under the influence of Willem Van de Velde the Elder, and practiced the same style of fine marine drawing that emphasized his naturally superior calligraphy. He is reliably said to have learned to paint marine subjects in oils from Hendrik Dubbels (1620/1-1676?) and Allart van Everdingen (1621-1675), and was already recognized for that specialty by 1658—though he did not join the Amsterdam guild of painters until 1663, and did not declare his profession as a painter until his third marriage in 1664 (to a lady who left him a considerable fortune on her death in 1678, after which he married again). His fame brought European recognition: the Grand-Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de’ Medici, the Elector of Saxony, Frederick I of Prussia, and the Tsar of Russia, Peter the Great, all frequented his studio (where the latter is said to have taken drawing lessons). His concentration on the sea around Amsterdam, and the shipping that made it great, is beautifully epitomized in this fine picture of East Indiamen at anchor before their mercantile warehouses, and the harbor traffic between them.

Provenance: With the collector, Wayne Francis Palmer (1895-1983), Springlake Plantation, Mobile, AL; thence by descent in the Palmer Family.

Note: This fine picture is a work in Bakhuizen’s most characteristic manner, well representing his status as the leading marine painter in Holland for the 35 years following the departure of the Van de Veldes for England in 1672/73. Its composition and details are nearly identical with a signed picture of 1701 differing only marginally in size (27 3/4 x 37 1/8 in.), representing Men O’ War with a Galley and Other Shipping (Sotheby’s London, 12 December 2002, lot 30): the banners and pennant—as in this painting signifying command by an Admiral of the Main—with the billowing sails on the near vessel, and the furled rigging on the farther, the glimpse of another ship (in this case a fluyt, or flute) at the left margin, and the loaded ferry, are all in essentially the same positions, and oriented in the same sense, as in this picture. Another very close parallel is a prominently signed smaller painting of Shipping on the Ij of the 1680s (Sotheby’s London, 7 July 2010, lot 33), in which the proportions of the various masts to the height of the picture are even more analogous, as is the medium

72. Willem Van de Velde the Younger (Dutch, 1633-1707), “Dutch Coastal Craft Colliding in a Stiff Breeze, with other Shipping Beyond”, c. 1670s, oil on wood panel, signed lower right, label from early 20th c. auction catalogue en verso “Van der Cappelle, lot 275” with black stencil “99KJ” and white chalk inscription, “Detwiler / + St Georges Galls” [London?] also en verso, 16 5/8 in. x 24 in., in a late 18th or early 19th c. carved and gilt-washed wood frame. $7000/10000 Provenance: With the collector, Wayne Francis Palmer (1895-1983), Springlake Plantation, Mobile, AL; thence by descent in the Palmer Family.

Note: This wonderful picture, with its sense of high drama and movement under a spectacular sky, is a quintessentially characteristic “cabinet painting” by the younger Van de Velde. It may well have been painted in England, to which both Willem Van de Veldes, father and son, transferred in 1672/73 at the invitation of King Charles II (Willem the Younger’s salary being £100), to studios in the Queen’s House, Greenwich Palace. A slightly earlier panel painting by Michiel van Musscher (1645-1705) shows Willem the Younger in the process of painting in oils from his father’s grisaille sketches, spread out on the floor of his Amsterdam studio (Lord Northbrook private collection); this was his preferred method of composition throughout his long life, in which he became perhaps the most prominent marine painter in Europe.

24

This painting (partly affected by crackled varnish on the sails, though with the underlying paint layers apparently unchanged) shows greater than usual dynamism and coloristic variety. The craft colliding in the foreground—a motif almost unknown in 17th-c. marine paintings—are probably kaags, though possibly the slightly more elaborate vessels called smalschips; the medium-sized boat heading toward them is apparently a hoeker, and the larger ship in the distance is probably a brig, or a snow. The splendid silhouette of the far shore, with its distant town, hilltop castle, and conical mountain, is remarkable; the closest foreground object is apparently a buoy. The seamen converging at the point of contact, attempting to ward off the impact, are painted with a profusion of gesture, color, and chiaroscuro; the boats themselves are beautifully differentiated; the eruptions of spray, and especially the sail of the near vessel torn by the wind, are typical Van de Velde features that are handled here with sureness, vigor, and precision. Panel pictures ascribed to this artist are rare on the market and signed examples are highly unusual (compare those at Christie’s South Kensington, 11 November 2009, lot 5; Christie’s London, 6 December 2007, lot 6; and Christie’s Amsterdam, 11 May 2005, lot 66).

The handling and the physiognomy also recall this artist’s work, and make it plausible that this fine painting should be a slightly later work by a closely related hand. The beautifully shaped frame implies that the picture may have been made for a monastic or conventual setting

251. Lilly Martin Spencer (British/New York, 1822-1902), “The Centennial”, 18951902, oil on canvas, unsigned, 54 1/4 in. x 72 1/2 in., in an attractive giltwood frame. $12000/18000 Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist, Highland, NY, and Ocean Grove, NJ; acquired by a Florida collector.

Note: The final masterwork by “the finest American female painter of the mid-nineteenth century”, this impressive canvas was found still on the artist’s easel at the time of her death, having been worked on for seven years. It represents the 100th birthday celebration of “Aunt Mary” (the sister of the artist’s father), surrounded by a large assembly of her family and friends (of whom the figure found in green is probably a self-portrait). Its ambitious scale and pictorial complexity reflect the traditions of mid-Victorian monumental painting, epitomized for example in George Edgar Hick’s equally large “Changing Home” of 1862 in The Geffrye Museum, London (a parallel pointed out in Robin Bolton Smith and William H. Truettner, Lilly Martin Spencer: The Joys of Sentiment, (Washington, D.C., 1973).

Born Angelique Marie Martin in Exeter, England (of professional French parents who kept a school there), Lilly Martin and her family moved in 1830 to Ohio. Her first exhibition in Cincinnati in 1841 attracted favorable notice, and after half-a-dozen years there (during which she married Benjamin Rush Spencer, who gave up his career in favor of hers) she moved with her husband to New York, where she exhibited at the National Academy and other venues. She had 13 children, but remains an icon as one of the first female professional painters in the history of American art.

In terms of the costume and style, the miniature is closest to the “Edward Pennington portrait” of the same design, of 1796-1803, now in the Senate Collection in the U.S. Capitol building. This inscription seems probably to be contemporaneous, though the handling lacks the vitality and forcefulness which would qualify the miniature as an autograph work of Stuart’s (he was far less likely to have painted one of the numerous replicas of this design in miniature format in any case). The coloring is restrained and sober, in keeping with the General’s reputation; the fine case suggests that it may have been framed contemporaneously.

Dr. Pelzer was one of several Charleston gentlemen who recorded weather observations to study linkages between weather and diseases, particularly yellow fever. The practice began in the late 18th century under the auspices of the Medical Society of South Carolina and later the Charleston Board of Health, and continued until approximately 1870.

A highly successful and well-trained opera singer, in 1920 Berthelsen moved to New York City where he achieved rapid success in his musical career. As an avocation he created pastels and watercolors of New York scenes. During the Depression, he began to paint large-scale oil paintings to support his family. His most distinctive and popular works depicted New York snow scenes.

As shown in the work offered here, these snow scenes portray the flickering snowfall and city’s massive architecture. The spire of the Empire State Building disappears into the wintry clouds. His works rejoice in the snow that turns the city into a wonderland. Though Berthelsen was exclusively selftaught, he completely mastered his craft and technique.

309. William Henry Buck (American/New Orleans, 1840-1888), “Live Oak along the Bayou”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 18 in. x 30 in., later gilt frame, accompanied by a small collection of books used by Wilhelmina Buck. $125000/200000 Provenance: Descended in a notable Birmingham, Alabama, family; recently discovered within a collection of paintings and books, all from the family of William H. Buck and Marie Fortin Buck.

The books, which are all in French and include French grammar and idiomatic phrase guides, as well as Honoré de Balzac’s novel La Peau de Chagrin, belonged to Wilhelmina, or “Mina” Buck, daughter of William H. Buck and Marie Fortin Buck. According to U.S. Federal Census records, Mina lived in Birmingham, Alabama, with her mother, Marie Fortin Buck, her aunt, Louise Fortin, and her sister, Amelia Buck Leonard. The four women were music and French instructors. After the death of her mother, Mina moved to Evanston, Illinois, with her aunt and sister, where they continued to teach music and French. Mina returned to Birmingham in August 1924 to apply for a passport which enabled her to travel to Europe from 1924-25. She is listed on the 1930 census living in a guesthouse in Evanston, Illinois.

Note: William Henry Buck’s romantic and atmospheric depictions of the Louisiana landscape are noted for his moss-laden live oak trees and views of rustic cabins by the water. He achieved a recognizable compositional style which makes his work discernable from that of his contemporaries. Buck often paints a large live oak tree placed prominently within the picture creating an anchor for the scene. The work offered here shows a tree in the foreground, which is more engaging than other more expansive landscapes with the tree further afield. A moss-laden cypress tree is across the bayou framing the curving waterway going towards the cabin in the distance.

314. Richard Clague (French/New Orleans, 1821-1873), “Idyllic Landscape with a Maiden and Young Man along a Path”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 18 in. x 22 in., in a gilt frame. $20000/30000 Provenance: Estate of the artist; to his cousin Augustus de Brueys Hughes. The pendant painting was sold in these rooms, April 14, 2007, lot 447.

Note: This is an important recent discovery of a landscape by the “father of Louisiana landscape painting,” Richard Clague.

For 130 years, New Orleans collectors have been searching for paintings that were found in Clague’s studio in New Orleans at the time of his death in 1873. The contents of that studio were acquired by the artist’s cousin, Augustus de Brueys Hughes of the New Orleans law firm of Billings and Hughes, and transported to New York, as reported in New Orleans’ newspapers at the time. Mr. de Brueys Hughes was a member of Clague’s extended family. Clague’s mother, Marie Justine Delphine de la Roche, had a sister, Josephine, who married François Desiré de Brueys. Their daughter married a cousin, Augustus de Brueys Hughes, whose legal career took him to New York. When the artist died, de Brueys Hughes acquired the contents of Clague’s studio and transported everything to New York in 1873, not to have been seen since, or at least not to have been recognized as the work of Richard Clague.

In 2006, a New York fine arts dealer made a fortuitous discovery of what was a lower Gulf South landscape painting in upstate New York. His research connected the de Brueys family of New Orleans and the de Brueys Hughes family of New York with the Louisiana background of the painting he had found, and voila, more than one of the long lost paintings of Richard Clague was rediscovered. That painting, “Life on the Farm: St. Tammany Parish,” was sold in these salesrooms on April 14, 2007, lot 447. Now, the original source of the estate discovery has

78

offered to Neal Auction Company the other painting from the Clague cache to sell.

Clague was educated in France and Switzerland from the age of fifteen. He studied with Francois-Edouard Picot and at the ateliers of Horace Vernet and Ernest Hebert. His debt, however, is to Theodore Rousseau and the Barbizon and Fontainebleau groups with whom he painted naturalistic landscapes in the plein aire style. Clague used the traditions and discoveries of the French Barbizon artists upon his return to New Orleans, applying them to the landscape of Louisiana forests and swamps and of Mississippi and Alabama, and in teaching other Southern landscape painters, especially Marshall Smith, Jr. and William Buck. His landscape compositions, both of European and Gulf South subjects, usually have a “central view” and feature a road in the foreground or water, wedging toward a horizontal screen of trees in the central mass, often with a vernacular building or rural figures, both people or livestock, with wagons, below an expanse of sky. The landscape offered here perfectly exemplifies these precepts of Clague.

The painting presented here has a curved road in the foreground juxtaposed against a reverse curved dead tree trunk. The handling of light as seen in the light line of water crossing the picture plane horizontally in the center of the canvas ties the landscape to the sky above. The tree trunks on each side of the water, hill and clouds deepen the perspective, with the water and the darker blue hill visible between the trunks. Such compositions reveal Clague’s European training. The woman dressed in a low cut blouse with full long sleeves seems to be addressing the young man handling the milk cows. A more muted set of figures in the lower left also inhabit the landscape.

In the work offered here, a group of pickers is toiling in the cotton fields. A young boy crouches at the front of the composition, engaging the viewer. His stance conveys the hardship of his work and his expression shows Roseland’s sentimentality for the subject.

$5000/7000

330 Note: Buell Whitehead a native of Ft. Myers, Florida, graduated from the University of Florida where he majored in Art and later attended the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Whitehead was highly interested in the print medium of stone lithography and became a master of this craft. He was a prolific printmaker during the late 1940s and 1950s, and his work was widely displayed around the country. The work offered here, titled “Erosion”, is a rare oil painting by the artist. Whitehead had family in the towns of Dothan and Geneva in southern Alabama and created scenes of this area such as “Erosion”. Depicting a wide, rutted red clay road down the center of the composition, a fenced garden and homestead sit on the right side of the road. Stylistically evoking the work of the American Scene painters a generation before him, one can see influences of the work of John McCrady, particularly in the handling of the vast sky and the barren yet sculptural tree.

$5000/8000 Note: The hairline and distinctive features of the sitter for this drawing relate to a very rare and important linocut by White also executed in the late 1950’s, Folk Singer, a portrait of Harry Belafonte, now part of Belafonte’s collection.

Miles”, carved base, blocked “French” feet with applied speared carving, height 44 3/4 in., width 43 5/8 in., depth 17 in. $3000/5000 Note: The Christian symbols on this chest indicate the maker was informed by an “American” Calvinist theology: the upward pointing finger, a reminder of heavenly destiny; the hearts are the seat of conscience and companion to the soul; the sunburst, the heavenly father which shines on the vines, referencing the tree of life.

The spectacles adjacent to the owner’s name, “E. Miles” perhaps reference a holy vision or “seeing the light”.

Note: The inscribed signature on this sofa likely refers to the workshop of Joseph Barry (Philadelphia 1759-1838). Barry advertised that he was retiring from the furniture trade in 1815, but continued a listing in the Philadelphia City Directory until 1833 (1), the date on this sofa.

The crest rail, seat rail and feet on this sofa relate closely to two Philadelphia sofas from the Joseph Sorger residence (1624 Summer Street): one attributed to Anthony Quervelle, the other with the stencilled label of C.H. and J.F. White. (2) Barry, Quervelle, and the Whites all operated in the same neighborhood (Second and Walnut Streets); not only are specific design motifs shared amongst these firms, but also employment of the same artisans (such as Pickering) likely occurred.

Note: The Edinburgh born Grant was a predominantly self-trained artist, having received only rudimentary drawing lessons as a child. Originally intending on a career in law, he soon realized his temperament and talents lay in painting. Grant began producing well-received sporting pictures, but it was an 1842 portrait that revealed his true abilities. Soon highly sought after as a portraitist, Grant received commissions from numerous members of the aristocracy including Queen Victoria. He had his first exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1834, becoming an Associate in 1842 and a full Academician in 1851. From 1866-1878 he was the President of the Academy – the first and only Scot to hold that prestigious position.

The sitter of the present lot is the painter’s son-in law. Employing a deep, rich color palette and sure brush stroke, Grant deftly captures the dignity and bearing of the military officer. The artist’s companion portrait of his daughter, Anne Emily Grant Markham, hangs in the National Gallery of Scotland.

American School, early 20th c., “McIntyre & Heath, Billy Cumsand’s Georgia Minstrels”, signed “Dryden” lower left, 68 in. x 37 1/4 in., framed. $5000/10000 Note: Recent scholarship on blackface minstrelsy by authors such as Mel Watkins and Robert Toll has shown that, although appropriately condemned for its racial stereotyping, minstrel shows nonetheless played an important role in the development of American comedic theatre. The existence of a joint seminar in American minstrelsy at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York and the book that accompanied it, Inside the Minstrel Mask: Readings in Nineteenth-Century Blackface Minstrelsy show that research in this subject is still developing. The editors of Inside the Minstrel Mask write, “Scholarship has been slow to examine minstrelsy because of its racist character. In the last twenty years, however, scholars have discovered that minstrelsy is a gigantic mirror, reflecting America’s struggle and policies on issues of race, class, and gender. By studying minstrelsy, we discover who we were and how we got to be who we are.”

This painting of the well-known minstrel duo of James McIntyre (1857-1937) and Thomas Kurton Heath (1853-1938) is based on the 1916 photo by Apeda Studios (now in the New York World-Telegram and Sun Newspaper Photograph Collection, Library of Congress). The two Vaudeville performers joined forces in 1874 and soon became famous for their blackface characters of “Alexander Hambletonian” (played by McIntyre), a slow-witted stable boy, and “Henry Jones” (played by Heath), a clever entertainer who continually outwits his companion. The duo performed for more than fifty years and their most popular sketch, The Ham Tree, was used throughout their long career.

W 1283. Alice Taylor Gafford

$600/900

1284. Grace Luse (American/Ohio, 20th c.), “Terminal Tower, Cleveland, Ohio”, oil on canvas board, signed lower right and en verso, 18 in. x 14 in., unframed.

(American/California, 1886-1981), “A Gentleman’s Still Life”, oil on canvas board, signed lower right, signed en verso, 18 in. x 24 in., in a giltwood frame. $600/900

Note: Secrest has been an active and influential member of the Lafayette, LA art community since he relocated to that city to assume a position at the University of Louisiana. As a printmaker for over 40 years, Secrest has always extolled the importance of drawing and of the significant relationship between drawing and printmaking.

$500/700 Note: Grace Luse, a WPA sculptor from Cleveland, worked under Edris Eckhardt in 1938, firing and glazing in Eckhart’s studio when Eckhardt was away. Luse also created a series of family groups in clay during this time period.

Although painting was not her usual medium, Luse’s handling of the paint in a flat and modernist manner befits the composition and subject matter she has chosen - that of Terminal Tower in Luse’s hometown, Cleveland.

As the artist himself stated, “From the practice of repeated drawing a personal narrative has generally resulted. Internalized forms, characters and places have become clearly evident to me personal icons have developed. Repeatedly...such things have taken on special meaning for me.

Some may see it as a form of fantasy, but for me it has resulted in forming a personal reality.”

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.”

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.

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.
