Letter from the ceo

The price of beauty. We are all too familiar with it, particularly when it comes to interior design. It seems to be a Sisyphean task to wrap a value around an entire project that is so personal and somewhat permanent, doesn’t it?

In the last New Orleans Auction Galleries catalogue, we talked about the importance of finding the right designer, with tips straight from some of my favorite industry professionals. In this issue, we continue the series, addressing the backbone of any decorating plan. You guessed it: The Budget.

With a little preparation and communication, you can grab what some might call this necessary evil by the horns. Otherwise, when that designer you love, the one who “really gets you,” starts sending invoices, you’ll feel like the carpet (you know, not the one you just bought, but the one that supports your entire project) has been yanked out from under you. BOOM! What did you agree to?!?

Most design professionals are, without question, honest and reputable. However, the unregulated nature and opaque "to-the-trade" pricing structures, which sometimes read like health insurance charges, have, in the past, left me feeling vulnerable and occasionally even victimized.

So, let’s get to the heart of the matter by discussing the sentry to which your budget is subjected, otherwise known as a billing structure. Following are three of the most common models.

1. Hourly rate: Interior designer bills a negotiated rate per hour. You may want to negotiate a defined number of hours per month and then require approval of additional hours. With this model, the designer typically passes along to the client industry discounts.

You can also sever your relationship at any time.

2. Cost-plus: Interior designer charges a set percentage on merchandise purchased and thirdparty services rendered from such trade, such as upholsterers, window-treatment makers, faux painters, etc.

3. Mixed: Interior designer charges a set percentage on purchases and a base design fee at an hourly rate.

Tip: List prices for "to-the-trade" products typically include a built-in commission of anywhere from 20 to 50 percent. Likewise, a third-party contractor may build in some additional percentage for the referral from the designer. A reputable interior designer will clearly explain these charges to you.

For a topnotch professional point of view, I turned to Charlotte Nail, the highly regarded owner of Houston’s Charlotte Nail Antiques (CharlotteNailAntiques.com).

Ms. Nail, who opened her firm in 1972 and specializes in French antiques, advises clients to be clear about the parameters of a project, and to make sure you and your designer have a complete understanding of the budget and financial arrangement.

Just as interior style is not one-size-fits-all, the approach to compensating a good design professional offers options that can be tailored for your specific needs and budget. Do some research, run some numbers that you and your designer can agree on and you will have a successful design project that brings joy and beauty into your life daily. Now that’s what I call priceless.

Want to talk more design ideas? Join us for our next Estates Auction on Saturday and Sunday, July 22-23 at 10:00 a.m. each day. And, of course, I hope you will attend the preview party beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 20!

th e estate of

Nancy nye HARRELL Houston, texas

Nancy Nye Harrell was born February 18, 1931 in Shawnee, Oklahoma to George and Marion Nye. She grew up in Houston, Texas, attending Lamar High School. Upon graduating, she enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi. Nancy met James (Jim) E. Harrell in Houston and the two married in 1954.

Harrell’s family founded Harrell Drilling Company, an independent oil company originating in Louisiana and operating throughout Texas and Louisiana. Jim and Nancy traveled extensively early on in their marriage, venturing all over the world. They were longtime members of River Oaks Country Club, and Nancy also formed the Lamar Luncheon Club, a group that included her longtime girlfriends from Lamar High School.

One of Nancy’s greatest joys was hosting uniquely themed and stylized dinner parties for her close group of friends. Each of her marvelous parties was different

and every detail, from the place settings to the table runner, was meticulously curated. Nancy would often take the pattern of a plate and construct the décor around that design; she kept meticulous records to ensure that each theme and motif was unique. When Nancy began hosting her dinner parties, she did most of the cooking, even taking into consideration any dietary restrictions her guests may have. The banquet table and dining chairs used for these extravagant parties are included in this sale.

Nancy loved French furniture—she personally sought out every item in her home to fit the exact look and specifications she needed. She frequented the finest antique shops throughout Houston searching for the perfect pieces. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer fine furniture, chandeliers, sculpture, paintings and decorative arts from the Estate of Nancy Nye Harrell.

the estate of

Janice Anne Hughes Labouchere hilton head island, south carolina

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer the Estate of Janice Anne Hughes Labouchere. Ms. Labouchere (1946-2017) was the youngest child and only daughter of an upstate New York Irish Catholic family. She met her husband, Ronald Labouchere (1946-1996), through friends while she was living in Manhattan and working as the private secretary to famed children’s book author and illustrator, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel). Ronald was from a prosperous, international banking family; he was the great-grandson of Grace Nichols Whitney Hoff, the daughter of David Whitney, the lumber magnate and former Governor of Michigan.

The couple wed in 1969, and shortly after their marriage, Ronald took Janice to France, where his family still had property and strong ties. The two became active in the world of international business, and spent years living and working across Europe and Australia. After the birth of their two sons, the family decided it was time to return to the United States, and they settled in Wilton, Connecticut. With two young, active children, Janice made the career change to real estate, working as a popular and successful agent in upscale Fairfield County. Upon their retirement, the Laboucheres relocated to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Janice never lost her love of travel and in her later years would revisit places, spending time with old friends and family. According to those who knew her best, she had a magnificent smile.

Ronald’s great-grandmother, Mrs. Hoff was a prominent philanthropist and patron of the arts, devoting much of her career to the establishment of foundations and funds for young women. She developed the Detroit Young Women’s Christian Association (Y.W.C.A.), serving as its president for a number of years. After Hoff moved to Paris in 1900,

following her second marriage to the Standard Oil executive John Jacob Hoff, she built a boarding house for young American women studying in Paris and founded the first Y.W.C.A. for British and American women. She served as the Honorary President of the International Art Union of Paris, through which she established the “Grace Whitney Hoff Museum Purchase Fund”, which annually gifted an American museum a prominent art work exhibited in Paris.

The first recipient in 1908 was from Hoff’s native city, the Detroit Museum, to which she contributed greatly throughout her life. During World War I, she aided in the care of wounded American soldiers and established a retirement home for veterans’ widows in eastern France near Switzerland. In 1923 and 1925, the French government recognized her dedication to public service and education with the prestigious awards, the Academic Palms and the Legion of Honor.

Following her death in 1938, she was survived by her only child, Elaine Evans Labouchere (18881943), from her first marriage to John Everett (d.

1892), and this collection descended through the family of her grandson Robert E. Labouchere (19221982), Ronald’s father.

The foundations Mrs. Hoff established, still active today, are a testament of her legacy and reflect the diversity of the fine pieces offered here.

Included in this estate is the Grace Nichols Whitney Hoff Collection, which contains a fine selection of furniture, silver and paintings collected from the finest Paris salons and galleries at the turn of the twentieth century.

152 Circle of Frans Pourbus the Younger (Flemish/French, 1569‑1622) Portraits of the illustrious de Polcastro family of Padua, Italy, including “Antonia Padovano (d. 1424), Wife of Girolamo de Polcastro” and “Ottavio de Polcastro (act. 1575‑1590)” pair of oils on canvas unsigned, each titled respectively at top “Antonia Paduani, Uxor Hieronymi/Pol.: Docis. 1404” and “Octavius de Polcastris, 1581”.

Framed alike. each 28‑3/4” x 22‑1/4” Provenance: Herbie Oakes Collection, Houston, Texas Literature: Marconato, Ruggiero. La Famiglia Polcastro. Lions Club: Camposampiero, 1999, pp. 102‑103 $12,000‑$18,000 These stunning portraits, vestiges of a prominent Renaissance family, are full of mystique and intrigue, guaranteed to pique the curiosity of the most discerning collectors and art historians.

Stylistically, they bear the bravura of Frans Pourbus, the Younger- the celebrated court painter of Marie de Medici. The three-quarters profile, black background, but most of all, the deft layering of transparent oil washes to create a luminous figure accented by opaque whites and cadmium yellows (reserved for only the finery of the lace and jewels) is distinctly in the school of Pourbus. Pourbus, born into an accomplished family of Flemish portraitists, trained under his father (Frans I, 1545-1581), and to a lesser degree his grandfather Pieter Pourbus (1523-1584), completing his apprenticeship in 1591 in Antwerp. In 1600, he was commissioned court painter by Vincezo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, and his wife Eleonora, the sister of Marie de Medici.

Pourbus remained in the service of the Gonzagas, working in tandem with Peter Paul Rubens, before moving to Paris in 1609 to serve as premier court painter to Marie de Medici.

During his tenure in Italy, he likely encountered the Polcastro family in Padua, in the courts of Mantua, Padua or Venice, at which the Polcastros were present. Ottavio Polcastro (Octavius de Polcastris), pictured here, from the ancient 13th century Porcastris family of Vicenza, and of Maddalena Volpe of Padua was active in the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, appearing on its registry of board members that approved the music and choirmasters from the 1570s-through the 1590s.

The accompanying portrait of his ancestor, "Antonia Paduani (Padovano), was likely painted at the same time, given that her dress is distinctly early 17th century and not early 15th century.

Padovano was the second wife of the Girolamo de Polcastro, and step-mother of the famous physician and philosopher Sigismondo Polcastro (1384–1473), who received his doctorate from the University of Padua in 1412 and taught at the University from 1412 to 1465. Antonia married his father Girolamo (Hieronymi), a prominent jurist, ca. 1400, and in excerpts from her 1424 will, she is alleged to have left Sigismondo funding to secure passage and favor from the bishop. Her contemporary dress, with its full sleeves and bodice, accented by fine lace collar and cuffs, bear a striking resemblance to Pourbus’ 1606 portrait of the Duke of Mantua’s daughter, Margarita Gonzaga- even the physical resemblance is notable. In the early 17th century, it was not uncommon to model portraiture after reigning dynastic figures for obvious modish reasons, but, more importantly, to elevate an already ennobled family through greater suggested lineage. Pourbus, or perhaps a student of his, may have taken such artistic license to secure prospective commissions.

Amsterdam, 1816, II, pp. 183 and 185; Nagler, G.K. Neues Allgemeines Kunstler Lexicon. Leipzig, 1847, XVII, p. 398F. Jan Stolker, a prominent printmaker, painter, dealer and art collector, is best known for his copies of 17th-century Dutch artists. He studied under Jan Maurits Quinkhard, and was a member of the Confrerie Pictura and the Rotterdam Guild of Saint Luke. His series of grisaille portrait miniatures was influenced by his predecessors. Though usually credited to Arnoud van Halen, who painted in 1712 a series of portraits of Dutch poets, the inspiration equally came from Karel van Mander’s 1604 Dutch version of Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists that chronicled the biographies of 15th- and 16th-century Dutch artists and Cornelis de Bies’ 1662 expanded compendium that included 17th-century Dutch artists. Two of the portraits offered here, those of Honthorst and van Poelenburgh, were copied after engravings published in de Bies’ book, and Stolker owned copies of both texts at the time of his death, according to Appendix 3, “Excerpts from Dutch Book Sales Catalogues from the Estates of Painters (1667‑1792)”, published in M.J.N. Stols-Witlox book Historical Recipes for Preparatory Layers for Oil Paintings in Manuals.

One hundred fifty-five grisaille miniatures, that resemble these in size and execution, were offered at the sale of the artist’s studio in Rotterdam on March 27, 1786, and were identified by inked inventory numbers on their backs, as only one of the miniatures

was signed “Stolker”. The collection (cabinet) did not sell and remained with Stolker’s descendants. In 1853, the collection was sold as part of the Frederik Mueller Collection in Amsterdam as lot 1781 for 800 flourins. The catalogue entry did not list the names of the portraits, but described them as a “Cabinet” with the “old high Dutch painters and paintings, in pleasing grayish color on oval round copper plates, high 4 inches, wide 3 inches, with many portrayals of painters and poets from prints”. According to Michele N. Benisovich’s “Notes sur Jan Stolker” (1946), the portraits were dispersed nearly a century later in the 1940s in New York City.

A group of twenty sold at Christie’s, Amsterdam, November 10, 1997 as lot 153 for $29,412, and another eight sold at Christie’s New York, June 7, 2002 as lot 121 for $11,353. This group of five, according to extant art database results, is the largest number to be offered at auction since the aforementioned sales at Christie’s.

223

This stunning panel exemplifies the 18th-century vogue for Chinese-inspired works. Europeans were fascinated with the exoticism of the “Orient”, with the fine porcelain, silk, textiles and spices that flooded ports with the expansion of trade in the East in the late 17th/early 18th centuries through the Swedish East India Companies. China, in the imagination of Europeans, was combined with Turkey, Japan and India, a collective primitive other that dazzled and afforded a fantastic reprieve from the mores and strictures of the West. The influx of Chinese goods coalesced with the Rococo style, characterized by exuberant scrollwork and stylized seashell decoration couched in scenes of leisure and pleasure with gardens and courting couples

82

(called fete-galantes) its archetypal subject. Marvels from the orient fueled the imaginative decadence of the genre that also flourished in the decorative arts and interior design, creating an abundant demand for chinoiserie wallpaper, panels and screens, similar to the example offered here, which was likely commissioned for a parlor wall or trumeau. Antoine Watteau and Jean-Baptiste Pillement, two of the most accomplished French artists of the period, executed numerous like panels, redolent with scrollwork and promenading beauties in Asian-inspired gardens, for the palaces of the European monarchy and gentry, including the Chateau de Chantilly and the castles of Worlitz and Pillnitz.

Grant Lawson/June 2, 1930” en verso.

51‑7/8” x 40‑1/2” Provenance: With sitter; Sir Peter Grant Lawson, 2nd Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge; thence by descent. $1,200‑$1,800

124

The sitter of this portrait, William Grant, was the last male heir of the mercantile Grant brothers of Manchester, England. The family was of Scottish Highland origin and relocated to England in the 1780s after several disastrous fires decimated the family farmland. William was the son of John Grant of Nuttall Hall, and the nephew of Daniel and William Grant, who were famously memorialized as the charitable “Cheeryble Brothers” in Charles Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby. The family was known for their business acumen and philanthropic spirit, members having served as justices, religious leaders, and founders of various institutes and foundations. This portrait descended in the family of William’s sister Isabella, first to his nephew Sir John Grant Lawson, the 1st Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge, and then to his great-nephew Sir Peter Grant Lawson, the 2nd Baronet, whose name appears on an inventory label en verso this painting.

The nomenclature and design of the “Agnew & Zanetti” label on the frame was only employed by the firm during the years of 1828‑1837, thus dating the frame to that short period.

This shipwreck scene bears the keen influence of Eugene Delacroix, the leader of the French Romantic School, whose optical studies of color and expressive brushstroke profoundly shaped future Impressionist works. Though he was trained in the Neoclassical style of Jacques-Louis David by Pierre-Narcisse Guerin, he rejected the academic traditions, privileging emotive expressions of color through bold brush strokes over controlled lines and carefully modeled forms. Though beautifully rendered, classical depictions of historical and mythological scenes invoked a sense of stasis, in which the turmoil of the battle or deluge was lost on the viewer. Inspired by Peter Paul Rubens and the Venetian colorists, Delacroix created a new genre of painting, capturing the primacy of the moment through the rapid application of deep warm colors and exaggerated lighting to convey movement.

“The Storm on the Sea of Galilee”, a biblical tale from the Gospel of Mark that multiple artists depicted throughout the 18th and 19th century, was a subject Delacroix visited many times from 1822‑1855, as the drama of the miracle performed amid a tempest showcased his bravura of color and movement. In addition to multiple drawings, there are six known paintings of this subject executed between 1850 and 1855 with the attendant focus in the earlier ones on the swells of the sea before Christ awakens and calms them. Three fine examples are the ones conserved in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, New York, the Walters Museum, Baltimore, Maryland and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri. Created through swirling greys and greens with white capped sprays, the momentum of the sea as it threatens to swallow the fishing vessel borders on the sublime- the unbounded synergy drawn from the cataclysmic forces of nature. This “Shipwreck” was likely modeled after these paintings; it captures the same emotion of movement through heavy brush strokes executed in the same lurid green-gray palette. The juxtaposition of the crimson red of the survivor’s dress, burnt sienna of the mast the figure clings to, and the swatch of a torn blue sail, also mimics the color schema of Delacroix’s depictions of the apostles, which are rendered in a rich palette of red, sienna and ultramarine blue suffused with light. This palette and composition is characteristic of Delacroix’s “Sea of Galilee” and shipwreck scenes, including “The Shipwreck of Don Juan” in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Oscar Soteno was born into a Metepec, Mexico family with a long tradition of creating utilitarian pottery pieces. In the 1930s his grandmother began to produce small decorative items which were to prove exceedingly popular; eventually, these were to evolve into the large-scale, “tree of life” sculptures for which the family has become so well-known.

Utilizing the local reddish clay, which is dried, ground to a powder, and then mixed with water and plumilla (the fibers of the local bulrush plant), Oscar forms and joins all elements by hand. The sculpture is then dried

and fired in stages before being carefully painted in exuberant shades of hot pink, canary yellow, royal blue, and red. He has expanded the symbolism of the trees to include references to the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, or death and marriage.

The fine, brightly-colored example offered here includes, among the numerous flowers, a musical mermaid, an elaborately patterned wedding chest, and “la Calavera Catrina” - the elegantly attired female skeleton which has become a symbol of the DÌa de los Muertos.

“Week’s Bayou on Week’s Island” and “Log Cabin Settlement on the River”, ca. 1950‑1952 two silver gelatin prints both with Standard Oil Co., N.J., photo credit stamps en verso.

Matted, glazed and framed alike. each sheet 11” x 14” $1,000‑$1,500 Provenance: Standard Oil of New Jersey Photographic Collection.

Literature: Illustrated: “Week’s Bayou on Week’s Bay” in Carter Hodding, John Law Wasn’t So Wrong: The Story of Louisiana’s Horn of Plenty, Baton Rouge: Esso Standard Oil Co., 1952, np. (table of contents).

These rare photographs chronicle not only the rich landscape and history of Louisiana portrayed through the lens of a native Acadian, but their commission also informs the history of the Standard Oil Company in the state and comprises an important photographic archive of both the nation and region.

In the early 1940s, Elemore Morgan, Sr., an architectural draftsman and tire store owner from Baton Rouge, turned to photography, creating an important visual record of Louisiana architecture, rural life, customs and flora and fauna.

In 1943, his early photographs were illustrated in Harnett Kane’s, Bayous of Louisiana; in the late 1940s, Morgan collaborated with novelist Frances Parkinson Keyes to publish a state-wide historical narrative titled All This Is Louisiana. At the same time Morgan launched his photography career, the Standard Oil Company embarked on a campaign of expansion and assimilation in Louisiana, employing film and PR to integrate its burgeoning refineries into the fabric of rural Cajun life.

In 1948, they produced the Louisiana Story, a narrative film about a young Cajun boy and his pet raccoon, whose family’s financial insolvency is solved after the elderly patriarch allows the oil company to drill oil from an inlet behind their home.

Directed by Robert Flaherty and set on location with local residents for actors, the film’s cinematography and its Cajun music score (performed by the Philadelphia Symphony) is a celebration of Acadia that inculcates oil into the terrain through the active participation of its people.1

887 one of two

Following the Louisiana Story, the Standard Oil Company commissioned Elemore Morgan to photograph the state for a book on the history of Louisiana, dedicated to the people of Louisiana, which similarly inserted its drilling and refineries into its history. Written by Hodding Carter, John Law Wasn’t So Wrong recasts Law, the French economists who lured Frenchmen to the new world through the promise of an earthly paradise full of virgin land, as a hero, not the scoundrel the new immigrants found him to be for failing to mention the mosquito-ridden swamps that bred alligators and malaria.

These photographs were part of this epic project; thirtyone of the photos Morgan took were published in this book, including “Week’s Bayou on Week’s Island”. In 1953, the photographs, including twenty-four of a wildcat oil well, were commemorated in a show at Louisiana State University, titled “Photographs of Louisiana”; and in 1987, the Natural History Museum in Lafayette (now Lafayette Science Museum) paid tribute to Morgan and the Standard Oil project in an exhibit titled “Postwar to Prosperity? (Louisiana 1946‑1950): Images from the Standard Oil of New Jersey Photographic Collection.”

The documentary photography Morgan and the Standard Oil Company created represents an important exchange between indigeneity and industry, and are preserved in the permanent collections of the Historic New Orleans Collection, Louisiana State University, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and the Lafayette Science Museum.

1Louisiana Story was nominated for an Academy Award and the music score won a Pulitzer Prize, the only score in the history of Hollywood to earn such an accolade.

This lot is one of a rare handful of known silver cups given as premiums at the first Christian County [Kentucky] Agricultural and Mechanical Association, each proudly engraved by its maker Samuel Simpson (1800‑1872) and bringing together the most desirable elements of antebellum Tennessee and Kentucky coin silver.

The organizational charter for the Christian County Agricultural and Mechanical Association was granted in 1856 by the Kentucky Legislature, and its first meeting was held on February 2, 1857. Grounds were purchased outside of Hopkinsville, the county seat, and buildings were built for the first fair to be held for four days beginning on October 21, 1857. There is no record of the specific premiums awarded (though they totaled $1,500), but, following the fashion of the Central Kentucky and other fairs that year, the silver cups were probably among the $10 premiums awarded primarily for livestock, but also for equipment (carriages, buggies, plows and harnesses) and textiles (quilts and jackets).

There is a single known silver goblet by Simpson with an 1857 “Christian County A & M” inscription, and at least three julep cups identical to the present lot, including one from the Caldwell collection (auctioned in 2006), and examples in the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Benjamin Caldwell Hubbard, Jr., in his seminal Tennessee Silver includes scant biographical information on Simpson, though more has come to light since its publication in 1988.

For instance, Caldwell dismissed the possibility that Simpson could be the Samuel Simpson, watchmaker listed in York County, Maine in 1823, based on approximate birth dates of 1807 and 1815 taken from U.S. Census information in 1850 and 1860, respectively. However, the 1870 census and Simpson’s death record both agree on his birth around 1800, making it more likely that he was, in fact, working in his native Maine (on which all censuses agree) before moving to Tennessee.

He moved to Tennessee by the late 1830s, probably directly to Clarksville in Montgomery County, on the southern border of Christian County, Kentucky. He began advertising in the Clarksville Chronicle in February, 1840, and ran notices consistently there for the next fifteen years, until September 1857 when Simpson offered the sale of his house. Caldwell postulates that Simpson had relocated to Christian County, Kentucky at this time, a theory supported by a January 1858 advertisement of silversmith George Edward Cooke (1835‑1902) as the successor to S. Simpson in Clarksville and Simpson’s listing in Hopkinsville, Kentucky in the 1859‑1860 Kentucky State Gazetteer.

However, on March 2, 1860, the Clarksville Chronicle noted that “among the noticeable improvements now going on in our city, not the least is that of our former esteemed townsman, Mr. Samuel Simpson on Franklin Street, next door to Tate’s saddlery store. Mr. Simpson has had the entire front of his store taken out and remodeled, besides making other desirable alteration, and will have one of the neatest rooms in town. Mr. Simpson will soon open on the first floor a fine stock of Jewelry, Watches, &c.” Two weeks later, Simpson ran an ad announcing his the new firm of Simpson & Price with Andrew G. Price (1816‑1884). This firm ran ads throughout the year until December 1860, when Simpson once again announced that he was selling his house. This ad ran for nearly a year - until November of 1861, by which time the Civil War had started. The Chronicle still mentions Simpson & Price until at least February 1862, after which no extant documents record the fate of the firm during the war.

In July 1865, however, Price had evidently left the partnership, as Simpson announced that the firm would thenceforth be known as A. & H. Simpson: his sons Alfred and Henry, born 1837 and 1840, respectively, and both of whom had served in Co. A of the 49th Tennessee, CSA. This firm evidently was short lived, as an announcement of its dissolution ran on September 7, 1866, with notice that it would continue under the name Henry Simpson, and with the assurance that “watch repairing will be under the control of Sam’l Simpson, as heretofore”. Although this announcement predates the event, the death of Alfred Simpson five days later on September 12, 1866 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky is certainly not coincidental, and suggests that the Simpson firm continued a business connection in Christian County Kentucky.

The last mention of the Simpson firm in Clarksville was in April 1867 (with the announcement of a brief working visit by “Mr. J. W. Pyle, Ornamental Hair Workman”). In 1870, Samuel Simpson appears in the U.S. Census in Austin, Travis County, Texas with his wife Josephine (nee Love), son Henry and the rest of his children. Immediately next door to him is his brother William Simpson (1802‑1877), also a watchmaker, and who had been in Austin since the 1830s. Samuel is listed as a retired jeweler in the census, and he died two years later in Austin, on November 10, 1872. His son Henry left the watch and jewelry trade and later became a confectioner; he died on October 23, 1912, in San Marcos, Hays County, Texas.

$3,000‑$5,000 Starr & Marcus, founded in 1864 in New York by Theodore Burr Starr (1837‑1907) and Herman Marcus (1824‑1899), was the exclusive retailer of Gorham silver in New York until their dissolution in 1874. Afterwards, Starr would continue the firm alone and assume the Gorham contract, while Marcus - after working a few years at Tiffany & Co. - would found the important jewelry firm Jacques & Marcus (later Marcus & Co.) in 1884. Although bearing only the Starr & Marcus retailer’s stamp, this handsome set shows all the revivalist influences in Gorham’s designs under the direction of John Gorham (1828‑1898), and was almost certainly made by them under the terms of their exclusive contract with Starr & Marcus.

The map, based on the reports of the missionary Father Hennepin, closely follows Guillaume Delisle’s famous map of the same region, and is superbly illustrated with inset engravings and annotations that include many Indian tribes, explorer routes and forts.

To me that is what art is all about - showing the spirit of man struggling above the mundane, above the material, above suffering. This is the whole story of art.

-John Thomas Biggers Rebecca Felts and Marvin Moon. “Artist Series: An Interview with John Biggers”. Texas Trends in Art Education. Fall 1988.

One of the most significant African-American artists of the 20th century, John Thomas Biggers was born the youngest of seven children to a family that stressed the importance of education, creativity and spirituality. Growing up in the tightknit black community of Gastonia, North Carolina, Biggers has stated that he had a relatively pleasant childhood, and that he was encouraged in his artistic and intellectual pursuits. Both of his parents had attended nearby Lincoln Academy, which Biggers and his brothers would later attend. The Academy was an all-black Congregationalist school created after the Civil War for the children of black soldiers and freed slaves alike, and it had a reputation for stringent academic requirements combined with practical training. At the age of fifteen, Biggers began attending classes at Lincoln Academy with the intention to train to be a plumber. The young man soon realized his passion and inclination was drawing.

Having made the decision to study art, Biggers enrolled in Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) in Virginia, where he studied with Victor Lowenfeld, an Austrian who had fled Europe. Lowenfeld was one of the first to publicly acknowledge the artistic significance and influence of African culture on modern art, and he encouraged his students to eschew the artistic conventions of the time to pursue something that was more immediate, more personal to them

330

and their heritage. For many of these students, this was the first validation of their particular experience from someone outside of the African-American community.

Biggers began to create drawings and murals which specifically referenced the life of African-Americans, creating an iconography which would be immediately understood and accessible to his intended audience. In 1943, Biggers was included in the Young Negro Art exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This exhibition was extraordinary for several reasons; for such a prestigious institution to agree to an exhibit of student work was unusual in and of itself, for those students to be African American was virtually unheard of at that time. That same year, Biggers was drafted into the Navy, eventually becoming an illustrator. During this time, he began to refine his technique, employing a distinct hatching to create a sense of depth and volume and relying on a muted, almost monochromatic, palette of creams, umbers, browns and blacks.

As evidenced by the fine drawing presented here, his naturalistic, slightly exaggerated figures emphasize the inner spirituality and struggle that was so integral to mid-century black American life. The viewer’s eye is immediately drawn to the upraised hand in the left corner, which then leads to each successive face and its contorted, yet tightly constrained expression. A century of African-American experience is deftly conveyed by a drawing of eight figures.

After his discharge from the Navy, Biggers attended Pennsylvania State University, receiving his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in 1948; he would later receive his doctorate from that institution in 1954 for his Negro Women in American Life and Education.

In 1949, Biggers accepted a position as Professor at Texas State College for Negros (now Texas Southern University), where he was instrumental in setting up the art department.

He was to remain active in art education until his retirement in 1983.

Biggers was the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including a UNESCO travel grant to West Africa which resulted in his Pulitzer Prize nominated book Ananse: The Web of Life.

Two illustrious families from two diverse cosmopolitan worlds collide in one rare portrait, executed by one of the most accomplished portraitist of the time. Lydia E. Eustis Loudon was born of privilege and fame; her family, the Marigny de Mandevilles and the Eustises were two of the contributing founders of New Orleans. Her great-grandfather on her mother’s side, Bernard de Marigny, developed the Marigny Faubourg and Northshore of the city after serving as President of the Louisiana State Senate, and her grandfather on her father’s side, George Eustis Sr., was a benefactor of the University of Louisiana (now Tulane University) and founder of the Pontchartrain Railroad. Her father Allain, served as the Honorary Vice Consul to Brazil and his brother, James B. Eustis was a judge advocate during the Civil War and Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, serving for many years in U.S. Congress and as Ambassador to Paris.

The young Lydia Eustis’ youth was spent in Paris and in New Orleans, surrounded by diplomats that she and her cousin Celestine often entertained at her uncle’s mansion on Coliseum Street. Fluent in three languages, Lydia embarked on her own career in her early twenties as an accomplished soprano, after studying for years with Madame Trelat at the Paris Conservatory. She performed at premier theaters across Europe and the U.S., where she met her husband, Jonkheer John Loudon, who served as a Dutch diplomat to Peking, London, Tokyo and Paris from 1901‑1913. Loudon and Eustis were married in 1906 at her uncle’s Paris estate, before returning to D.C. where they lived until the beginning of World War I when Loudon was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Hague.

Loudon was also from a prominent family. His father, a knighted member of the Dutch crown, served as the King’s Commissioner in South Holland, the Minister of Colonial Affairs and Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. In the early fall of 1920, before the Loudons moved to Paris where they lived until 1940 with John Loudon serving as Dutch Ambassador, the couple returned to the family Estate in Voorlinden in Wassenaar near the Hague to have their portraits painted. De Laszlo had previously painted several members of the Loudon family, including John’s mother and brother in 1908 and 1909.

John Loudon’s sister Adriana van Riemsdijk was one of the artist’s most loyal friends and patrons. After his bank accounts in Vienna were frozen during the war, van Riemsdijk enlisted the aid of Loudon to intercede on the artist’s behalf, helping de Laszlo get funds and letters to his family in Hungary. De Laszlo repaid the family in kind. According the de Laszlo Archive Trust, he painted seventeen portraits of the Loudon relatives, including Furstin and Duchess von Pless and the Honorable Mrs. Charles Rothschild.

De Laszlo, born of an impoverished Jewish Hungarian tailor, rose to prestige through the bravura of his brushwork.

Perfecting portraits of European aristocrats and elites with painterly backgrounds and crisp alla prima modelled faces in pastels that import a sense of immediacy and comportment of the sitter. By 1900, he was one of the top paid portraitists in Budapest, Vienna, and Munich; he was featured in the magazine the Studio and built a grand home. In 1907, he moved to London to better accommodate the growing demand for portrait commissions. De Laszlo produced more than 4,000 works in his life, many of which are conserved in museums worldwide. He was awarded numerous medals and honors, including the Royal Victorian Order of MVO by King Edward XVII of the United Kingdom in 1909 and knighthood by King Franz Joseph of Hungary in 1912. The painting offered here belongs to this great canon of work, touching as many countries and culture as did the artist’s hand.

(ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

Rev. 01/04/17

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and

(iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith.

(ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and

(d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors.

NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above.

(iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form.

(e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive.

Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer.

Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j).

NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

(b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction.

Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

Rev. 01/04/17

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly.

All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller

If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.

5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.

8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
