Headley-Whitney Museum The Headley-Whitney Museum was founded by George W. Headley III, on his family estate, La Belle Farm, near Lexington, KY. Mr. Headley’s wife, the former Barbara Whitney, had grown politely weary of her husband inviting people into their residence to see his collections and bibelot creations and suggested that he build a place to display them. The Headley Museum opened in 1968 with the building of the Jewel Room and Library.

These were soon followed by the Shell Grotto and main building, used for changing exhibitions.

The name Whitney was added in the 1970s when Mrs. Headley’s brother, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, and his wife, Marylou, became patrons of the foundation.

Mr. Headley (1908-1985) studied art in New York and at L’École des Beaux Arts in Paris. He apprenticed with famous jeweler Paul Flato in New York in the 1930s before moving to the West Coast to set up his own boutique at the Hotel Bel-Air in Hollywood where his many famous clients included Joan Crawford and Fanny Brice. In 1950 Headley returned to Lexington, and in 1960 he married Barbara. In addition to designing jewelry, Headley also created bibelots, small decorative objects made from precious materials which may incorporate rare objects found in nature or antique carvings.

2

Mr. Headley’s love of other cultures, particularly Asian cultures, inspired his creations and acquisitions. The Headley-Whitney Museum is widely recognized for its displays of Headley’s jewelry, drawings, and bibelots, which make up the core of the Museum’s collection. Following Mr. Headley’s own practice of deaccessioning pieces from the collections to balance and refine the exhibits, the Headley-Whitney Museum is currently working to concentrate its holdings, in order to preserve the Museum and its treasures for the benefit of future generations, as Mr. and Mrs. Headley intended. The mission of the Headley-Whitney Museum is to enrich the life of the community by fostering knowledge and appreciation of the decorative and fine arts.

Neal Auction Company is pleased to present select objects from this intriguing collection.

1. Follower of Jacob de Wit (Dutch, 1695-1754), “Two Music-Making Putti with the Doves of Venus,” 18th c., oil on canvas, unsigned, 30 in. x 32 1/2 in., framed. $2000/3000

1

Note: This composition in graybrown grisaille (possibly for an overdoor) is a highly accomplished rendering of the type of trompe-l’oeil relief design that De Wit made extraordinarily popular during his lifetime. During apprenticeships in his native city of Amsterdam (c. 1704-8) and especially at Antwerp (1708-13), De Wit was strongly influenced by Van Dyck and above all by Rubens, whose great cycle of 36 ceiling pictures in the Jesuit Church where De Wit studied and drew repeatedly.

Returning to Amsterdam, he produced after 1714 a prolific series of decorative paintings for both institutional as well as for private clients. The more solid-looking forms of this picture refer to the earlier period of his work, since after about 1720 his compositions became more colorful, airy, and informal, probably under the influence of Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini (1675-1741) of Venice, whom De Wit must have encountered in 1716-18 at Antwerp, Amsterdam, or The Hague. The stockier bodies of these putti bespeak his earlier fascination with Rubens, and display some of the characteristic foibles of anatomy and foreshortening which remained typical of his work. This type of monochrome grisaille imitating stucco relief became De Wit’s most enduring legacy (such paintings were called ‘witjes,’ or ‘whites,’ as a play on his name), and were very widely repeated by his followers even into the 19th century.

5. Circle of PiatJoseph Sauvage (French, 17441818), “Recumbent Bacchus with Bacchant, Bacchante, an Infant Satyr, and a Goat,” c. 1780s, oil on canvas in ‘overdoor’ format, unsigned, 29 in. x 39 in., period frame. $2500/3500 Note: This truly superb scene is richly and beautifully painted in trompel’oeil to simulate a white marble or stucco figural relief, overlaid on a fictive marble ground representing a deep mulberry-red slab of the characteristic stone that comes from Monte Gargano in Apulia. The technique of an illusionistic 5 monochrome scene set against a colored ground (as opposed to a gray background, called grisaille) is highly typical of the so-called camaïeux pioneered by Sauvage, who—though he lived in France—was a native of Flanders, the region in which the artifice of illusionistic trompe-l’oeil originated, under Dutch influence. The term refers to the ‘cameo-like’ effect of gemstones (usually ancient ones) of large size and complex iconography, in which whitish layers of stone are selectively cut away from a sardonyx ground, to form actual relief compositions. The Antique prototypes are of course considerably smaller than the spectacular example represented here, though this design is strikingly similar to the compositions of actual Imperial Roman and Renaissance examples.

The ‘relief’ style here is very strikingly reminiscent of the sculptural compositions of Claude Michel, called Clodion (1738-1814), whose plaster, terracotta, and marble bas-reliefs Sauvage very frequently copied in his trompe-l’oeil pictures; in Sauvage’s Paris sale of 21 December 1808, indeed, the painter is recorded as owning a large number of original reliefs by Clodion. The present painting has perhaps a more concentrated composition and finer detail than any known relief by Clodion, although the group at the left is very closely similar to a lost work by that sculptor—a Sleeping Satyress with her right arm on an urn, and a child satyr behind, holding a bunch of grapes (a relief recorded in two sales of 1779, respectively of the Prince de Conti and the Abbé de Gévigney, and sketched by Saint-Aubin in the margin of the Prince’s sale catalogue).

The confident, fluid handling of the ‘loaded brush,’ the incisive details, and masterly treatment of light and shade—on which, after all, the effective illusion of depth and spatial projection completely depend— combine to make this masterpiece of trompe-l’oeil one of the most important additions to that rare pictorial type to have been found in recent years.

297. Attributed to Joseph Henry Bush (American/ Kentucky/Natchez, 1794-1865), “Portrait of Rev. Miles D. Harper (1784-1843),” c. 1839, oil on canvas, unsigned, 24 3/4 in. x 20 in., period frame. $1500/2500 Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter.

Note: Miles Harper was a celebrated Methodist minister, on the circuit in the Cumberland (1804-9) and especially the Mississippi Conferences (1809-29), and in his eventual residency (from 1814, near Natchez). His portraitist depicts him as an older man in a serious and studious pose, his spectacles pushed up on his forehead, and holding apparently a Bible in his right hand. (A nearly identical pose and ‘prop,’ incidentally, as well as the same costume and coiffure appear in George Cooke’s 1839 portrait of Benjamin Gwinn Harris, at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore.) About Miles Harper we have the rare advantage of an eyewitness description (Jones 1873): he was “of medium size, compactly built, well-proportioned, of attractive physical appearance…[as well as] a natural orator…his voice was round, full, clear, and distinct. His unusual eloquence, power, and success in preaching soon placed him among the most conspicuous and promising young ministers of the Western Conference.”

The marriage of Miles Harper and Samantha Ford, in fact, provides for the first time a firm solution to one of the outstanding questions in Mississippi history, namely the exact date of her father’s plantation, The John Ford House, a preeminent pioneer structure still standing on Andrew Jackson’s “Military Road” near Sandy Hook in Marion County, on the west bank of the Pearl River. Rev. John Ford, a senior Methodist minister, moved from South Carolina to Jefferson Co., MS in 1808, and from there to Sandy Hook in 1809; his new house was built 1811-12, in time for the wedding of his daughter Samantha to Miles Harper on 10 March 1813 (the annual Methodist Conference was held in the house in 1814).

The Harpers moved briefly back to Nashville in that year, but established their residency at Washington, MS in 1818. After a lapse from the Methodist clergy in 1829-33 Miles Harper was reinstated in 1834; he moved to a larger farm in Tensas Parish LA, where he died, and where his wife’s portrait is still held.

Joseph Henry Bush, after precocious beginnings at Frankfort, was introduced by Henry Clay to no less a luminary than Thomas Sully (1783-1872) at Philadelphia, whose pupil Bush became from c. 1814 to 1817. After settling in Louisville in

1819, Bush spent many of his winters painting the planters of MS and LA: he was in New Orleans in 1831, 1841, and 1845, Baton Rouge in 1848, and Vicksburg in the 1830s, 40s, and 50s; from c. 1820 he was essentially based at Natchez. Our best evidence for the date of this portrait is an assessment of Harper’s apparent age (he seems to be shown in his middle 50s; he died at 59), and through stylistic comparison with comparable canvases. Bush’s very fine portrait from about 1835 of Uriah Flowers—a prominent planter from just north of Vicksburg—depicts exactly the same collar and stock, as well as exhibiting the same idiosyncrasy of an unusually thin silhouette, almost obscuring the far shoulder (such a design indeed had been already adumbrated in Bush’s captivating, though only attributed, Master Marschalk from the early 1820s in Natchez; it also figures strongly in the nearly identical Robert Young Wood of c. 1835 in Natchez—again an attributed painting). A trio of firm ascriptions are Bush’s fine Kentucky portraits of Thomas Bell Monroe and his Wife (who also wears spectacles), together with their son-inlaw Richard Pindell. The latter is dated c. 1840, and it seems plausible that the artist might have portrayed all three at the same time: their poses, costumes, coiffures, and physiognomies are all intimately close to the Harper offered here.

One other point in favor of a dating in the later 1830s is that the ‘conspicuous consumption’ of a fine portrait implies a certain affluence; we therefore should allow time for this formerly itinerant Methodist preacher to become an established planter, as we know Harper to have done from his land purchases in Tensas Parish, just upriver from Natchez, in 1834-39. Whatever its exact date, this splendid picture can certainly be ranked among the most appealing and most satisfying of all the Mississippi portraits by Joseph Henry Bush.

299. William Henry Buck (American/Louisiana, 1840-1888), “Moss Trees Along the Mississippi River,” oil on canvas, signed lower right, 18 in. x 30 in., framed with artist and title plaque. $75000/125000 Note: In his Louisiana landscapes, William Henry Buck often includes an African-American figure involved in a pursuit on the water: boating, fishing, working a net. The painting offered here shows a man poling on a wooden raft, an activity very much identified with travel along the Mississippi River. For many who lived along the river and its tributaries in the 19th century, it was the primary means of heading downriver. This unique landscape by Buck has his traditional live oak tree prominent in the composition.

Interestingly, a golden rain tree in full bloom is positioned as prominently. On the ground are recently sawn logs which will end up in the neat wood pile behind the shed by the river’s edge. The opposite bank is depicted on the horizon, while on the left side is a large expanse of water probably showing a characteristic turn in the Mississippi River.

This work was painted contemporaneously with Mark Twain’s successful publication of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). This powerful scene is a romantic view of the great Mississippi and clearly relates to the way of life along its banks as portrayed in these two greatest of American novels.

Demonstrating beautifully restrained carving similar to that on the wellknown bed from the Manney collection, the ornament on this bedstead enhances rather than overwhelms its distinctive sculptural aspect.

The massive serpentine form of the bed, constructed of more than sixteen laminated layers, not only is a technical marvel, but also boasts three practical virtues cited by Belter in his patent application of 1856: ease of installation, as the four panels can be assembled without tools; hygiene; and economy of space, by avoiding the use of posts which Belter declared “intrude on what would otherwise be valuable space.”

Literature: Adelson Galleries, New York, “Art in a Mirror: The Counterproofs of Mary Cassatt,” exhibition catalogue, 2004, p.

102-103, illustrated.

Note: Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) was one of only two women — and the only American — to have been included among the group of painters known as the “Impressionists.” An artist who was talented at a wide variety of mediums, Cassatt took up pastels in earnest about the same time she began printmaking. Baby Embracing Her Mother is a lovely example of the artist’s experimentation with pastel counterproofs, created at the encouragement of her renowned dealer Ambroise Vollard.

Counterproofs are created by placing a dampened sheet of paper on top of a pastel drawing and applying pressure to transfer some of the pastel to the new sheet. The technique creates a mirror image that has a softer look than the original. The technique appealed to Cassatt because it allowed her to keep a record of cherished pastels that would be sold and, since the process reversed the design, allowed her to experiment and play with composition. Several of Cassatt’s peers, including Degas, Renoir, Cézanne and Whistler, made counterproofs in conjunction with Vollard, an important art publisher and dealer.

P43, and U for buff clay body, height 9 1/2 in. $5000/10000 Note: The American artist Arthur Wesley Dow (1857-1922) developed a philosophy of teaching design in the late 19th century that greatly influenced the early Newcomb College pottery decorators. His book Composition, published in 1899 and used at Newcomb, introduced the concepts of line, notan (abstract analysis of the patterns of dark and light), and color, along with a series of exercises. In the summer, Dow ran a school in Ipswich, MA. Harriet Joor and Amelie Roman were the first Newcomb College students to be awarded scholarships in 1900. Several decorators attended Dow’s school in subsequent summers. Desiree Roman, who decorated the landscape vase offered here, attended the school in 1904. The design of this vase clearly demonstrates Dow’s principle of “arrangement in Opposition and Repetition” (vertical lines cut by horizontal lines) that he taught in the depiction of landscape. A review of the pottery decorated

by Desiree Roman during her years at Newcomb shows that she embraced Dow’s design philosophy and was very talented in translating it to designs on Newcomb Pottery.

$15000/20000

$4000/6000

Note: This rare and unique Newcomb vase takes its design inspiration from a cakewalk song, “Rastus on Parade”. The cakewalk describes the dance, musical form and social event popular in the late 19th century. It was the first ragtime music, using a syncopated style and possessing a characteristic rhythm.

Originally a plantation dance accompanied by banjo, the cakewalk took place on Sundays when slaves would dress up and dance to the music, its name derived from the custom of a cake awarded to the couple that had the best moves. The cakewalk later appeared in minstrel shows and passed into the variety acts of early Vaudeville.

“Rastus on Parade” was written by F. A. Mills in 1893 and is one of the earliest cakewalks published. The song is about one Mandy who loves and is proud of her Rastus, an African-American soldier on the day of his release from the army. Mills was said to have adopted the cakewalk as a refined musical protest to the vulgar racial stereotypical songs that were becoming common around that time.

374. A Newcomb College Art Pottery Mug, 1902, decorated by Desiree Roman with jester masks framed within ribbons hung with bells, high glaze with blue and green underglaze, base marked with Newcomb cipher, decorator’s mark, Joseph Meyer’s potter’s mark, reg. no. J35, Q for buff clay body, and X indicating that piece was not for sale, height 4 1/2 in. $3000/5000

Mary Wolcott Richardson decorated the vase with the pattern of an African-American man holding aloft a baton and dancing. Richardson was a student at Newcomb College from 1897 to 1902. She married in 1903 and left New Orleans for Blacksburg, VA where she spent the rest of her life.

The artist depicts a windy day with Spanish moss swaying in the air. Pink and white oleander bushes stand next to the trees which flank a sandy beach. This painting is closely related to a work illustrated on p. 167 of Robert Hinckley, editor, William Woodward: American Impressionist, which depicts a view down the beach at Biloxi. This work depicts the same scene looking straight out to the Gulf.

Note: This painting relates to a series of tonalist works William Woodward painted of the water around Biloxi.

Often showing the sky and water in the same subtly striated hues, the work offered here uses shades of lavender to this effect. The horizon is punctuated by the Biloxi lighthouse and the treeline with a passing boat. The lighthouse is quietly reflected in the water.

Note: A similarly composed painting titled “Biloxi Boats” is illustrated on p. 38 of The Art of Marie Hull. As in the work offered here, moss-laden trees frame the waterway beyond.

Here two figures are shown in a rowboat; one man is standing and may be hauling a net or tonging for oysters. A sailboat is in the background before the treeline of Biloxi Bay. This colorful landscape is a very fine example of Hull’s fully developed impressionist style.

419. Constitution of the Confederate States of America, Adopted Unanimously by the Congress of the Confederate States of America, March 11, 1861, printed by John M.

Alexander” and inscribed underneath “Captured from the house of Kenan, a queen bee of the convention which perceived this constitution at Milledgeville, Ga, A.H Cren...y”, one of only two known copies from this publisher, one at the University of Georgia, Athens, the other at the Boston Athenaeum, see Parrish & Willingham, # 10. $30000/50000 Note: Peter Wellington Alexander, born in Elbert County Georgia in 1835, attended the Georgia secession convention in Milledgeville (representing Upson County, GA) and voted against secession but signed his name with the majority of secessionists as a show of solidarity. Alexander was the most popular Confederate war correspondent and personally witnessed and wrote about the battles of Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg and many other marches, events and travels with the two primary Confederate armies. His articles appeared regularly in several CS papers (Savannah Republican, Mobile Register, Mobile Advertiser and others).

Southern newspapers repeatedly printed his heart-moving pleas for Southerners to help supply the Confederate armies with shoes, clothing and food after he

witnessed the retreat from Antietam. Loyal Southerners reacted to his articles with overwhelming nationwide support. Alexander died c. 1910. His papers and manuscripts are located at the Rare Book & Manuscript Library of Columbia University in New York City. The collection consists of more than four hundred letters to Alexander, as well as miscellaneous letters and telegrams, business and military documents, copybooks and letter books, and complete and partial newspapers and clippings from the various Southern newspapers listed above that carried Alexander’s dispatches. At least one recent very well written book on Alexander was published several years ago.

Augustus H. Kenan was a Confederate Congressman from Milledgeville, GA. He attended the Georgia Secession Convention where he was among the forty percent who argued heavily against secession but after the vote to secede showed their support for the States of America Provisional Congress (February 4, 1861 to February 17, 1862) that convened to draft the CS Constitution. He was one of nine Georgia delegates to the Montgomery convention. His home (and Alexander’s) would not escape complete destruction as Sherman’s army moved through Milledgeville in late 1864. Sherman’s men routinely sought out the homes of devoted CS supporters to set an example of their “treasonous” behavior.

After the war, despite protest from ardent re-constructionists, President Johnson restored Kenan’s citizenship on May 23, 1865. Kenan died three weeks later.

A.H. Crenning is presumably one of General Sherman’s soldiers who ravaged Milledgeville.

The remnants of cow hair and pungent smell point to hastily made, poorly tanned leather.

The initials “CHC” suggest Confederate origin, as Union soldiers were not generally allowed to mark their items. The pewter finial affirms the severe shortage of brass in the Confederacy.

Note: Annie Turner Howard (1864-1904) was the first second-generation monarch in New Orleans Mardi Gras: her father, Charles Turner Howard (1832-1885) had reigned as Rex in 1877. The Howard family tradition would be carried on by her brothers Harry, Rex of 1888, and Frank, Rex of 1895, and by niece Flores, Queen of Carnival in 1914.

The 1884 Rex Ball theme was “The Semitic Races”; John Chaffe reigned as Rex. The red, green and blue stones seen in this parure reflect the colorful taste of the 1880s. See also the 1884 Rex Ducal Badge illustrated in Henri Schindler’s Mardi Gras Treasures: Jewelry of the Golden Age, p. 61, and the 1884 Comus Cup, ibid. pp. 16 and 17, which sold in these rooms October 11, 2008, lot 255.

One of Miss Howard’s notable civic contributions is still very much a part of the city: the Howard Memorial Library which she gave in memory of her father in 1887. The collection is now part of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library of Tulane University. The handsome Richardson Romanesque building is now part of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Miss Howard married Walter Parrott in London in 1896 and lived in England the rest of her life. They had one child, Annie Howard Parrott.

$2500/3500 Provenance: Elve Anna Bowie Moore (daughter of the sitter, b. 1842) and her husband Eugene Soniat-DuFossat (1836-1901); their son Dr. Joseph Moore Soniat-DuFossat (1867-1926) and his wife Caroline [Olyn] Nelms (1870-1911); their daughter Olyn Eugene Soniat-DuFossat (1901-1990) and her husband William Huck Saufley, Sr.; the William H. Saufley Trust.

Note: Matilda Eleanor Bowie was the niece of Col. James Bowie (1796-1836) and the daughter of Rezin Pleasant Bowie (1793-1841) and his wife Margaret Frances Neville (1790-1875); she married c. 1834 Joseph Hickman Moore of Pennsylvania (1807-1873), and lived at their plantation in Pointe Coupée Parish. Judging from the particularized image of this Late Empire sofa, it was presumably there in Pointe Coupée (although it might possibly have been in New Orleans) that she had herself portrayed with her eldest son Joseph (b. 1835), who died in childhood—sometime after his third or fourth year—as shown in this moving and beautiful picture. Matilda had also been portrayed in this same period by herself (in a very similar format)

by C. R. Parker, c. 1838. This painting, however, is quite clearly by the same hand(s) as a substantial group of Polk family portraits surviving as an ensemble in New Orleans, that were almost certainly executed by one or both of the Cooper brothers (both of whose initials were “W. B. Cooper,” and who advertised together in New Orleans on both 6 December 1838 and 22 August 1839): their individual works—if indeed they painted any portraits separately—are predictably difficult to distinguish. Matilda’s face in this picture bears very striking similarities, all the same, to the probable Cooper portrait of Jane Maria Polk Walker (1798-1876), eldest sister of President James K. Polk, that is preserved in that group of Polk family pictures in a private collection in New Orleans.

Washington Cooper, the elder brother of this painterly pair, worked in Chattanooga, Memphis, Knoxville, Natchez, and New Orleans, as well as in Selma, AL in the 1840s. His younger brother William followed a similar trajectory, but is known to have begun with at least a year at the National Academy of Design in New York (1832), and to have traveled also in Europe. The brothers died respectively in Nashville in 1889 and Chattanooga in 1900.

461. George Esten Cooke, A.N.A. (American/Maryland, 1793-1849), “Maria Rosalie Henry, 1818-1897, Granddaughter of Virginia Statesman Patrick Henry”, 1837, oil on canvas, signed upper left, dated upper right, 52 in. x 39 1/2 in., original giltwood inner frame. $60000/80000 Provenance: Daughter of the sitter and her husband Dr. William Bernard Lewis (1817-c.1865), Louise Maria Henry Lewis (1845-1910) of Halifax Co. VA, and her husband Thomas Wiley Branch (1835-1923) of Petersburg, VA; their son Patrick Henry Branch (1873- ) and his wife Florence of Asheville, NC; their daughter Rosalie Henry Branch (1924- ) and her husband Julius Eugene Davison of VT (1918-2002); their son Scott Davison (inherited 2002).

Note: In this captivating painting the granddaughter of Patrick Henry (1736-1799) fully manifests her status as the affluent descendant of one of Virginia’s preeminent statesmen, as she rests on a horsehairupholstered Late Classical sofa before a marble-tiled loggia supported by large Tuscan columns, with a distant view of the Blue Ridge opening behind her shoulder. The architectural frame is an idealized image of Red Hill, her grandfather’s house in Charlotte Co., which her father Edward Winston Henry (1794-1872) had inherited. As she sat for this portrait in 1837 (probably in Washington City), Maria Rosalie was nineteen years old; the decorated guitar she holds so prominently was to become a standard symbol of feminine refinement and culture, as it repeatedly appears, for example, in more workaday versions (that are actually being played) in portraits painted at Vicksburg and Port Gibson during the 1850s by Thomas Cantwell Healy (1820-1873).

more permanent studio in Washington, where this picture was painted.

This unusually fine portrait of Maria Henry is grandly conceived, and its expansive features are a kind of summation of Cooke’s best work to 1837, the year of its execution. Even from as early as c. 1825, in the group portrait of Elizabeth Valentine and her Children (Valentine Museum, Richmond), we find the same device of the stylish sofa, in the same position (and the large size of the present painting is very closely approximated). Cooke’s painting of Judith Walker Rives (1830: still in the family collection in Albemarle Co., VA) displays a dress, pose, and background very similar to the painting offered here. One of the artist’s most successful and most celebrated paintings, his Susan Jane Donaldson of 1832 (Brooklyn Museum), is nearly identical in size, as in most of its other features, including the distant view behind a billowing red curtain. That last feature is repeated in The Gilchrist Children of 1836 (Gibbes Museum, Charleston), where for the first time we encounter Cooke’s device of the children looking through a fictive window with a top arch identical to that in the present canvas. Even closer in date and style is Cooke’s portrait of Mary Anne McKenney (1837, Corcoran Gallery): though the vista is shifted to the right background, it is framed by the familiar curtain, now bearing a tassellated fringe identical to Miss Henry’s.

The present portrait also clearly served as a pattern for immediately succeeding ones in Cooke’s oeuvre. His fine painting of Martha Elizabeth Harris (1839, Maryland Historical Society) shows the same curtain, dress, and especially the same fashionable coiffure; moreover, that sitter’s left arm and hand are posed identically as they are here, on the arm of a sofa. Cooke’s large painting of Leonora Harper Clayton and her Children (1842, Private Collection) is once more the same size, and has an George Cooke was the second arched top that is rendered son in his generation of a family exactly as it is in the present that had been established in St. picture. The very large painting Mary’s Co., MD, since the 17th of Eliza Smith Collins and her c.; after a classical education Daughter (1842, Private and early mercantile experience 461 Collection) exhibits again there and in Washington City, virtually every feature of this he married in 1816 and for the seminal portrait of Maria Henry next two years experimented as being offered: the dress, a land speculator in the Missouri Territory. Having been attracted to painting since physiognomy and coiffure are once again the same, as is the curtained, childhood, he began seriously to pursue that career as an itinerant portraitist colonnaded loggia looking onto a distant view; even the motif of a vine wrapped about 1819 (spending, for example, several seasons in Richmond, and that of around one of the columns is repeated from the present picture (and was to 1822 in Montgomery, AL). In 1824, with his distant cousin John Gadsby Chapman become a favorite device of Cooke’s, as in his beautiful painting of Sallie Baxter of (1808-1889), he studied in Washington with Charles Bird King (1785-1862).

1845, also in a Private Collection).

Following another intensive eighteen months in Richmond, he and his wife This very impressive portrait of Maria Rosalie Henry, granddaughter of Patrick traveled for five years (1826-31) in Paris, Florence, Rome, and Naples, where Henry, wonderfully captures the informal grace of her nineteenth year (she was to Cooke assiduously copied the Old Masters and produced major pictures of his marry Dr. Lewis three years later, in 1840) with a broadness of conception and own. Upon his return he painted mainly in New York and the Catskills; he became precision of handling that epitomize George Cooke at his best.

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 bayous. He achieved a recognizable compositional style which makes his work discernible from that of his contemporaries. As shown in the work offered here, Buck often paints a large live oak tree placed prominently within the picture, creating an anchor for the scene. This landscape is depicted just after the sun has set with dark trees silhouetted against a fiery sky ablaze with hues of yellow and orange. Lily pads in bloom float in the foreground of the bayou illuminated with the reflection of the sunset.

525

$2000/3000 Provenance: Alderfer Auction Gallery, December 16, 1993, lot 59.

Note: This highly accomplished but almost unstudied artist seems to be known, at present, only through three commissions: this beautiful pair of sheets from 1849 (and 1853); an undated watercolor of “A River Landscape in India”, 10 1/2 in. x 16 1/2 in. (sold at Sotheby’s, London, 15 November 2002, lot 40); and a final watercolor portrait of “General William Atkinson with His Wife and Family in the Grounds at Kamptee, Madras”, inscribed “December 1856” and measuring 10 5/8 in. x 17 in. (Sotheby’s, Summers Place, May 21, 1998, lot 175). The gentleman’s highly correct “morning clothes”—including a very British-looking cutaway jacket and top hat—that are carefully reflected by his son (in a charming visual rapport, with the portrait of the father reintroduced as a framed reprise into the second image), as well as the subtle hint of a shield of arms perhaps embroidered on the stool, and the view apparently of an “East Indiaman” under way in the distance, all confirm that these affecting images are most likely to reveal an affluent Anglo-Indian family “at home” in Madras.

Redmond (New Orleans/Florida, 20th c.), “The Turpin-Kofler-Buja House, 2321 Magazine Street, New Orleans”, 1968, oil on masonite, initialed and dated lower left, signed, dated and inscribed en verso, 20 in. x 28 in., framed. $1000/1500 Note: Born in New Orleans, Beauregard Redmond graduated from Washington and Lee University with dual majors in Fine Arts and Economics.

Initially Redmond pursued a career in banking, while continuing to paint and exhibit his works at the Downtown Gallery. In 1980, he gave up banking to become a full time painter. Soon after, he moved to St. Augustine, Florida, where he opened a studio. Paintings by this artist generally convey a strong sense of time and place, as can be seen here. The Turpin-Kofler-Buja House was designed by New Orleans architect James Gallier, Jr., best known for his design of the French Opera House in 1859.

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.
