7. American or English School, late 19th c., two designs for ceilings, “Hall” and “Dining Room”, watercolor and pencil on cardstock, titled on original mats, sheet 10 in. x 19 1/4 in. and 6 1/4 in. x 17 in., matted together.

$3000/4000

Note: In 1922, Hearst International Magazines commissioned George Bellows to illustrate H.G. Wells’ novel Men Like Gods in serial form. The Utopian story gave Bellows the opportunity to create a fantasy world, far different from the harsh realities of life reflected in his Ashcan School roots. Bellows completed 27 drawings for the project and later created lithographs from 10 of the drawings. The three drawings here are recorded in Bellows’ personal Record Book B in the collection of the Columbus Museum of Art in Bellows’ hometown of Columbus, OH.

$200/400

13. James Barry (Irish, active in Italy and England, 1741-1806), “A Group of Recumbent Figures Huddled Among Blankets”, 1792, ink and wash on laid paper, with all corners missing but made up on backing card, dated in English “March 1792” at lower left, 6 5/8 x 8 1/8 in., perhaps signed or inscribed en verso(?); laid down on card stock, 7 1/8 x 8 7/8 in., the latter inscribed en verso in 20th c. black ink, “Master of the Giants—James (Burry) / -Barry / Byrny”, and in mid-20th c. red pencil, “Fuseli [sic] / Christie’s Auction / April 1961”.

$1000/1500

Provenance: Christie’s, London (1961); purchased there by James R. Lamantia Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: Though Lamantia bought this impressive drawing as a “Fuseli” (at a Christie’s auction that he attended personally in April 1961, per his note on the outer mount), his question-mark preceding that name indicates that he (correctly) did not fully endorse Christie’s attribution. The alternative ascriptions entered in black ink at the top of the verso—though mutually contradictory—are respectively equally mistaken, and right on the mark. This fine drawing actually has nothing whatever to do with the so-called “Master of the Giants,” a gifted amateur artist working in transparent black and grey washes in Rome in 1779, as recorded on various sheets of a

now-dismembered notebook which suggested his name (purchased 1949, exhibited London 1952, separate sheets at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University [1964] and recently [2002] with Lowell Libson, London). The three alternate readings of the name of James Barry, however, do plausibly indicate that an inscription or signature was formerly visible (perhaps on the reverse of the pasted-down sheet), and that those various options were observed in its lettering. James Barry was born in Cork, and trained in Dublin (1763), London (1764), Paris (1765), Rome (1766-70), and Bologna (1771). In London he was elected to the Royal Academy in 1773, and became its Professor of Painting in 1782. His masterpiece was a series of huge canvases representing The Progress of Human Culture, which he executed for the Society of Arts in 1777-84; he was expelled from the R. A. in 1799 as a result of his eccentricity and irascibility, though at the end he was awarded a funeral and burial in St. Paul’s Cathedral. This rare dated drawing is emblematic of Barry’s later work, with its heavy, jagged lines, its idiosyncratic shading, and its compression of emotionally charged forms—in “a coagulation of bodies” (as Tomory observed), or “a fantasy of intertwining shapes…achieving an

expressionistic power rare in British art” (Cummings).References: William L. Pressly, “Barry,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 3, pp. 284-287; Frederick Cummings and Allen Staley, Romantic Art in Britain: Paintings and Drawings 1760-1860, Philadelphia, 1968, pp. 114-118; Peter Tomory, The Life and Art of Henry Fuseli, New York, 1972, p. 210, and passim.

12. Continental School, early 19th c., “Ruins; the Castle Keep”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 29 in. x 37 in., in a carved wood frame.

14. Jean Battiste Arnout (French, 1788-1865), “Neoclassical Building, Paris Manufactury”, sepia ink and wash on paper, unsigned, 5 7/8 in. x 6 3/4 in., matted.

$800/1200

Provenance: James R. Lamantia Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: Arnout, a painter and lithographer, is known for his illustrations of Continental buildings and views. This beautifully compact drawing may have been prepared for an engraving. The unidentified subject, probably Parisian, is strongly suggestive of architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux in its simple geometric massing.

15. French School, mid-19th c., “Design for a Renaissance Revival Coffered Ceiling”, c. 1850, gouache on cardstock, unsigned, sheet 16 3/4 in. x 12 1/2 in., matted.

$1000/1500

Provenance: Sold in these rooms December 8, 2000 as lot #445.

$1500/2500

32. Attributed to Luigi Valadier I or a Follower (Italian, 1726-1785), “Design for a Reliquary or Monstrance”, c. 1775/1800, layout in geometric strokes of very light graphite, execution in ink and ink wash, on cream-colored paper with highly elaborate watermark of a shield (with letters V & K / W in superimposed X’s), as well as a countermark (of letters B v K & A I W), positioned on the vertical axis at 90º to the design; unsigned, 16 7/8 in. x 9 1/16 in., in a modern mount, numbered 29046.

$1000/1500


Note: Andrea Valadier (1695-1759), his sons Luigi I and Giovanni Valadier (1732-1805), and their respective sons (of Luigi I) Giuseppe Valadier (1762-1839), and—of Giovanni—Filippo (b. 1770), Tommaso (b. 1772), and Luigi II Valadier (b. 1781) were seven goldsmiths in three generations, who ran Rome’s most prominent orificio under their own names from 1714 to 1817, and which has continued under other directors till the present day. This very beautiful drawing, though unsigned, is documented by its watermark to the late 18th c.; its rich combination of Rococo curves and massive Classical ornament is highly characteristic of the Valadier shop in that best period of its personal supervision. Luigi I, for example, made a silver and lapis lazuli chalice which Pope Pius VI presented to Prince Stanisław Poniatowski (now in the Louvre, Paris), as well as a spectacular gold- and silver-plated bronze altar for the Cathedral at Monreale in Sicily (made at Rome, 1770-73). The present design, in which the flatly-shaded apertures were intended to be filled with plaques of rock crystal, epitomizes the gilded bronze table - and altar - fittings, inset with hardstones, that most successfully characterized Luigi’s style. His expertise was particularly embodied in the final member of the family dynasty, Luigi II (b. 1781), whose technical mastery of an eclectic and original manner assimilated many historicizing styles into the mainstream of the Neo-Classical movement.Reference: Angela Catello, “Valadier,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 31, p. 799.

31. An American Classical Mahogany Mixing Table, early 19th c., Philadelphia, marble top above a cove-molded frieze, distinctively scrolled drawer, Gothic arch paneled door, pylon case, beveled plinth base on half-round feet, height 38 in., width 31 7/8 in., depth 18 in.

$2000/3000

Note: This mixing table form was used and modified by a number of noted Philadelphia and Baltimore cabinet makers, including Anthony Quervelle. The use of the trapezoidal “Egyptian” case of this cabinet shows the influence of Regency designs.

A cabinet attributed to Anthony Quervelle also using an “Egyptian” trapezoidal panel and demilune feet in the manner to that seen here was sold in these rooms as lot 49, December 1, 2007, for $8,225.Reference: See Robert Smith, “The Furniture of Anthony Quervelle, Part IV, Some Case Pieces”, The Magazine Antiques, page 189, pl. 11.

33. Attributed to Charles-Louis Clérisseau (French, worked in Italy, 1721-1820), “A Chimneypiece in the Neo-Classical Style”, c. 1770s/1780s, ink and two tones of gray wash, on cream-colored laid paper (perhaps with an even paler uniform gray wash), unsigned; watermark(s) partially obscured by repair tapes applied to verso, but with letters “...M A...” and “O...M” visible; inscribed on bottom margin with scale representing 6 “Palmi di Genova” (in which 1 Genoese oncia [inch] = 2 Genoese palmi; 1 palmo = 248 mm.); above it in the mouth of the fireplace another scale in different units.

$1500/2500

Provenance: Roman art market, mid-20th century; James R. Lamantia Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: This extremely beautiful and historically important drawing is a precocious and diagnostic precursor of the Neo-Classical movement. Its principal frieze (in fictive bas-relief) represents Apollo and Minerva at the center, with the flanking figures of the Nine Muses carrying their identifying attributes; Juno and Jupiter confront each other in the upper right-hand square panel, and two other divinities occupy the left; Mercury and a sister goddess crown the tall reliefs to the sides. This design is strikingly notable for its purity, simplicity, and sobriety: it displays no other ornaments at all, apart from the chaste moldings of a large egg-and-dart and a small bead-and-reel around the mouth of the fireplace, a simple beading around the side panels, a brief leaf-and-tongue under the square elements, and a foliated ovolo and smaller cove (separated by another small bead, and by a blank frieze) in the crowning entablature of the mantel shelf. Such conspicuous restraint,

coupled with such paramount reliance on delicately detailed sculptural forms alone, mark this design as a truly startling contrast, for example, with the Rococo exuberance and Classical complexity of the most celebrated engravings of chimneypieces to be engraved in the preceding decade, the Camini of G. B. Piranesi (1720-1778)—issued as 70 etched plates in 1769. Clérisseau, a Parisian, won the Prix de Rome in 1749, and stayed in the Eternal City for almost twenty years, returning to Paris only in 1767 to become a member of the Académie Royale. While in Italy he became a close friend of Piranesi’s; he was also tutor to a variety of Northern architects, most importantly to Robert (1728-1792) and James Adam (1734-1794), on whose famous—even epochal—style Clérisseau had a fundamental and all-pervasive influence (as witnessed profoundly in this drawing). Clérisseau himself is best known in the United States as the co-designer with Thomas Jefferson of the Virginia State Capitol at Richmond (1785-99), based on the “Maison Carrée” at Nîmes. Clérisseau had become the preeminent authority on such Provençal structures with his Antiquités de la France: Monumens de Nismes (1778); and his long experience of southern France provides a plausible reason whereby his drawings (some 1100 of which are concentrated in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg) might have included this sheet, measured as it is in Genoese units. Genoa only officially adopted the metric system as of 1 March 1847, so this drawing’s citation of Genoese palmi is at once appropriate, and unhelpful with regard to dating (for which its watermark is also inconclusive). What can be said is that it very perfectly epitomizes the dawn of Neo-Classicism in Europe, and as such it is an artifact of the highest importance.References: Thomas J. McCormick, “Clérisseau,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 7, pp. 415-417; Dora Wiebenson and Claire Baines, The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection: vol. I, French Books, Washington and New York, 1993, 118-121, nos. 52-53; Angelo Martini, Manuale di Metrologia, Rome, 1976, s.v. “Genova,” pp. 222-226 (for the measures).

34. French School, 18th c., “Male Nude Dragging a Fallen Figure by the Feet”, red chalk or sanguine crayon on cream-colored paper, fully watermarked and countermarked with untranslated French maker’s marks (crowned shield bearing flower, and 4-line phrase FIN DE / M...IO &[?] ANNOT / D ANNONA / [?]...) at 90º to central axis, unsigned, but inscribed en verso in sepia ink in a late 18th or early 19th c. hand, “tradling d’après Lertorupe”, 19 1/2 x 14 1/4 in.

$800/1200


Note: These two figures are involved in a studio pose during a life-class or “academy,” a name which has been applied to the entire genre of life studies made directly from models. The fine, regular, and unblemished paper (bearing only tiny punctures for suspension), as well as the classic sanguine medium, clearly demonstrate the origin of this sheet in the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture at Paris (or, though less plausibly because of the paper, at the Académie Française in Rome). Red

chalk or crayon had been the favored medium of life-class studies in both French academies at least since the time of the famous sculptor Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762), whose more masterly style this drawing somewhat reflects. Bouchardon was a pensionnaire of the French Academy in Rome from 1723 to 1733, where he executed a very large series of red chalk drawings after antique sculptures, and many sculptural commissions for local as well as traveling English and German clients. Back in Paris Bouchardon was elected a member of the Académie Royale (where he became a professor in 1747), and also of that of Belles-Lettres et Inscriptions, where from 1736 he made very many red chalk drawings for the Royal Mint. One of his most typical “academy” drawings, of about 1750—and one whose pose is most comparable to the present sheet—is in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (inv. no. 1969.41): it well exemplifies his clearly defined contours and long strokes of regular shading, both elements of which are more tentatively emulated here.References: Colin Harrison, “Edme Bouchardon,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 4, pp. 508-511; Alfred Moir, European Drawings in the Collection of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA, 1976, pp. 20-21.

$1000/2000

Provenance: Art Market, Great Britain; James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: This exuberant design for an illusionistic architectural perspective “al di sotto in sù” (from below looking up) is a brilliant product of Panfili’s training in the 1740s at the Academia Clementine in Bologna, under Petronio della Volpe. In the 1750s he apparently collaborated with Alfonso Torreggiani (1682-1764) in the decoration of a monastery at Rimini, and further worked at Palazzo Comunale in his native Fermo; Panfili was also a noted printmaker specializing in views of Bologna. He developed this classic Bolognese manner from a series of pioneer compatriots: Girolamo Curit (1575-1632), who first established the technique of ceiling decoration in Bologna; Agostinio Mitelli (1609-1660), whose many drawings at the Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, are direct precursors of this splendid sheet; a little-known Bolognese quadratista draftsman of the early 18th c. named Bernasconi, represented at the Royal Institute of British Architects; Giovanni Antonio Torricelli (1716-1781), whose drawing from the Janos Scholz collection at the Metropolitan Museum in New York is one of this sheet’s closest cognates; and possibly as well from his almost exact contemporary Flaminio Minozzi (1735-1817), whose highly colored and finished drawing (again at the Metropolitan Museum) features the same trophies, banners, flags, and urns. Behind all these masters stands the dominant dynasty of the Galli-Bibiena, extending from the 1650s to the 1780s: their multi-generational talents for quadratura and stage design were nurtured in Bologna, but were exported by many family members to virtually all the capitals of Europe.References: Ebria Feinblatt, Agostino Mitelli Drawings from the Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, Los Angeles, 1965, esp. no. 18; Italian Architectural Drawings [from]the R.I.B.A., London, Washington, 1966, esp. no. 24; Mary L.

37. Francesco Borromini, his Studio, or a Follower (Italian, 1599-1667), “Section of Spire, for the Church of San Ivo della Sapienza, Rome”, 1642/1720, ink and gray wash on cream-colored laid paper, with reddish sepia paint applied to verso, laid down on old mount; unsigned; 19 5/8 x 8 3/4 in.

$1500/2500


Note: These very rare drawings are preparatory works for plates XXI (Drum Elevation) and XXVIII (Spire Section) of the publisher Sebastiano Giannini’s lavish masterwork, printed almost 75 years after the construction of Borromini’s chapel (1642-1660) for the University of Rome: Opera del Caval[iere] Francesco Borromini…cioè La Chiesa…della Sapienza (1st ed., Rome, 1720; enlarged 2nd ed. with the same plates, as Opus Architectonicum, Rome, 1725; folio size of 1720 ed., 533 x 393 mm., or 21 x 15 7/16 in.). Borromini, the most important architect of the Roman Baroque, had himself prepared exactly such large-scale drawings of the Sapienza, and commissioned them to be engraved by Dominique Barrière in 1660 for a publication that was projected but never realized. Giannini purchased Barrière’s copper plates from Borromini’s heirs, and plates II through IX of the 1720 edition of the Sapienza were based directly on those plates of 1660. The remainder came from a variety of sources: from other original drawings by Borromini himself, or by his assistant Francesco Righi, also acquired from the Borromini estate; from Giannini’s eventual expansion and updating of the Barrière plates, long after the fact; or (in rare cases) from the actual appearance of the building itself in 1720. Since these two drawings for plates XXI and XXVIII postdate the core group prepared by Barrière under the personal supervision of Borromini, the only way to be absolutely certain of their date (and thus of their potential status as autographs by one of the three greatest giants—with Bernini and Cortona—of Baroque architecture) would be by the scientific study of the watermarks in their papers: but unfortunately these two sheets bear no such detectable traces. There is therefore no evident way to assign these drawings to the personal hand of Borromini himself, or to Righi as his contemporaneous collaborator; or, alternatively, to Giannini’s 18th-century commissions for the plates (following number IX) to be published in his great folio of 1720. The Spire is mute on these two options; but the tantalizing clues in the Elevation are afforded by its half-dozen incidents of ornament. Their careful comparison with the façade of the church as it was actually built reveals some striking discrepancies: the right-hand twin of the many-pointed stars freestanding above the Chigi monti forward of the drum is added on a separate disk of paper; those same elements, in the full arms of Pope Alexander VII Chigi—who reigned 1655-1667, while the church was being finished—are eliminated, and replaced on the balustrade before the great west window with a simple dedicatory plaque; and most tellingly of all, the sculptured relief of the Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God) is omitted altogether, while the round-headed tops of each of the drum’s six major windows are abandoned, in favor of the disproportionately tall square-headed apertures now visible on the exterior (even though Borromini indeed designed their interior lintels as curves or cusps). Thus the graphic evidence, while ambiguous, offers at least the possibility that the Elevation may have been drawn c. 1642-1660 by Borromini himself, or by Francesco Righi to Borromini’s express intention; and that the ornaments shown here may represent a preliminary idea for the façade embellishment, not executed in its entirety.References: Martha Pollak, The Mark J.

$2000/3000

Provenance: Art Market, New York; James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: The most illustrious member of a famous five-generation dynasty of French draftsmen and painters originally from Flanders, Carle Van Loo is here contemporaneously labeled as “Père” to distinguish him from his son Jules-César-Denis Van Loo (1743-1821, then in his twenties), who emigrated to Turin—like his father—and painted at the Piedmontese court. Carle, born at Nice, was trained at Turin from 1712 and Rome from 1714, where he studied with the sculptor Pierre Legros II (1666-1719), who was particularly celebrated for his fine drawings. Upon moving to Paris in 1719, Carle himself won a first prize in drawing from the Académie Royale in 1723, and was awarded the coveted Prix de Rome in 1724. Another of his drawings took first prize at the Accademia di San Luca in 1728, and he began to demonstrate the stylistic eclecticism which distinguished his career, varying from the refined classicism of Raphael and Carlo Maratta to the dramatic dynamism of his own best contemporaries, of whom François Boucher was his particular friend. After another highly creative stay in Turin (1732-34), Van Loo began a brilliant career in Paris in the following year, when his 1735 admission to the Académie Royale was immediately followed by a host of official, religious, and royal commissions. He was ennobled in 1751, and appointed First Painter to the King in 1762; Baron von Grimm called him “the greatest painter in Europe.” This very splendid sheet (despite its evidence of having been removed from an album) seems too regular and finished to be merely a preparatory sketch for a painting: rather it shows every evidence of being a presentation drawing in its own right, exemplifying the precise, technically perfect mastery which has made Van Loo’s drawings conspicuously rare on the market.References: Laurie G. Winters, “Carle Vanloo,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 19, 645-647; Annamaria Petrioli Tofani et alia, Disegni dell’Europa Occidentale dall’Ermitage, Florence, 1982, p. 86, no. 99, fig. 95 (dynamic style, with inscription very similar to this); Pierre Rosenberg and François Bergot, French Master Drawings from the Rouen Museum, Washington, 1981, pp. 88-89, no. 114, pl. 74 (sculptural style: this technique).

$800/1200


Note: This is either a preparatory drawing for (or closely related to) the plates of Basoli’s major work, Raccolta di Prospettive (Bologna, 1810), which presents 102 etched plates closely resembling this sheet. Basoli—the last disciple of the Galli-Bibiena school of illusionistic perspectives—could boast of his personal responsibility for some 74 students, 633 engravings, 636 paintings, 397 drawings, 155 stage sets, and the decoration of at least 285 rooms. Based in Bologna (and a pupil of Gaetano Gandolfi at the Accademia Clementina there, where he became a professor in 1803), Basoli made work and study trips to Ravenna, Rome, Florence, Milan, and Trieste; he was eventually elected a member of the academies in Florence (1816), Rome (1822), Turin (1825), and Venice (1836). This drawing (which, needless to say, is quite imaginary in its fantastical medievalizing motifs) is fully representative of his acquisitive, eclectic personality: his invented architectures combine oriental and Northern European forms—particularly in wood, one of his specialties—with endless variations on the classical repertory of all the Mediterranean cultures, extending also to a lifelong fascination with Egyptian imagery.Reference: Martha Pollak, The Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection: vol. IV, Italian and Spanish Books, Washington and New York, 2000, pp. 47-49, no. 15.

Cullison III and James Lamantia, An Eye for Architecture, Tulane University Library (Southeastern Architectural Archive), 16 September-31 October 1984, p. 8, no. 7. The painted panels in the published drawing of 1826 depicted the medieval story (popularized by Dante) of Paolo and Francesca da Rimini. Those in the figured tondi on the present sheet of 1841 present two scenes from the mythological deeds of Mars: his encounter with Venus and her husband Vulcan, and the latter’s discovery of the dalliance of Mars and Venus. They surround a small gilt-and-rose-patterned fictive dome, and are interspersed with gilt roundels bearing trophies of arms; in the remaining spaces are compartments of green and rose tinted foliate ornament with fantastical creatures and musical instruments.

signature “Houdon” and inscription “Buste Officiel/Napoleon/Empereur/1805” at back of neck; impressed and underglaze blue “Sevres” marks, cobalt socle on bronze pedestal, height 27 1/4 in.

$4000/6000

Provenance: Said to be from a private collection in Versailles, France.

Note: Although Houdon had consolidated his enormous reputation before the French Revolution with busts of the royal family as well as French (and American) sitters of wealth and prominence, his skill was so preeminent that he remained in favor during all the upheavals of the Terror, the Consulate, the Empire, and the Restauration. The present bust is an illustration of the esteem in which he was held by Napoleon: Houdon did in fact execute an “official” portrait of the Emperor, whose terracotta original, signed and dated 1806, is in the Musée de Beaux-Arts at Dijon. The much-later inscription on this biscuit copy is thus

incorrect in its dating by one year—a minor mistake which was in fact quite frequent in such long-delayed inscriptions (this one dates from the time this bust copy was made, doubtless during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III in the 1850s or 60s). The characterization here is unusually forceful, representing le grand Empereur as a paragon of strength and vitality, even as the slight diminution of size (the so-called “petite nature”) makes this portrait especially appealing to today’s smaller interiors.Reference: Guilhem Scherf, “Houdon,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 14, pp. 796-799.

French Customs marks stamped in black ink en verso of stretcher and frame; 37 1/2 in. x 62 3/4 in., in a more recent carved, gessoed, and giltwood frame.

$20000/30000

Provenance: A European noble collection (wax seal); Raymond Sancery, Paris; exported legally from France.

Note: This very striking panorama depicts Polish and Lithuanian troops under the command of John III Sobieski (wearing red; after 1674 King of Poland) in the act of repulsing an advance of Tatar, Cossack, and Turkish forces under the joint leadership of Adil Giray, khan of Crimea, and Petro Doroshenko, chief of the Ukrainian Cossacks (with blue insignia and flag), whom a recent treaty with Istanbul had confirmed as recognized vassals of the Ottoman Empire. The latter’s objective was nothing less than the subjugation of Europe, as the ultimate goal of the Great Turkish War; but the heroic brilliance of Jan Sobieski as a field commander thwarted this aim, not only in his ten-day campaign around Podhajce (6-16 October 1667, which earned him the title of commander-in-chief), but most memorably in his miraculous repulse of the three-month Turkish siege of Vienna, on 12 September 1683. The Galician town of Podhajce is only separated from the Hungarian and Romanian heartlands by the great chain of the Carpathians; it lies some 60 miles southeast of Lvov (the Lemberg of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) and the same distance northwest of Kamienetz, the fortress key to southern Poland, bordering a neighboring district called Podolia, classically disputed between the Western powers, Russia and Ukraine. Its fortified walls rise here above the smoke of battle, and a long perspective opens out to the left over the valley of the River Dniester, and the mountains that bound the Sarmatian plain.

Jacques Courtois, called Il Borgognone from his birthplace in the French / Swiss border town of St. Hippolyte in 1621, went to Italy when he was only 15, and spent the next three years as a soldier/painter with the Spanish army around Milan; in travels through Bologna, Florence, Siena, and eventually Rome, in the

late 1630s, he was influenced by the respective styles of Salvator Rosa, Pieter van Laer (“Bamboccio”), and especially Pietro da Cortona, who in the 1640s facilitated his introduction to the Roman nobility. His military training and singleness of purpose made him the preeminent battle painter of his day: he was prominent in the collections of Doge Niccolò Sagredo in Venice, was pursued by the Duke of Modena in the 1660s, and by King Charles II as well as King Philip V of Spain (whose respective Battle Scenes are now in the Prado). From 1651 to 1655 he worked in Tuscany for Prince Mattias de’ Medici, brother of the Grand Duke Ferdinando II. As a fellow soldier who had also served in the Thirty Years’ War, Prince Mattias is said to have delighted in the vivid realism of Borgognone’s four great canvases of the War of Castro (1641-44) of which the Prince had been the victor (apart from those exceptional pictures, the present painting is one of the very few among Borgognone’s generic Battles to be specifically localized). A very similar canvas, a “vast and lively battle,” is preserved at Palazzo Pitti; later, he

executed four similar frescoes for the Prince’s villa at Lappeggi. Borgognone joined the Jesuits in 1657, intending to give up painting altogether; but the great Padre Oliva, General of the Order, persuaded him to continue his calling, and indeed gave the artist conspicuous commissions. A fresco cycle of Scenes from the Life of St. Ignatius was executed for the Gesù, and Borgognone was also commissioned to fresco the apse of the church itself (but died before that project could be undertaken). He did provide the high altar paintings for Bernini’s churches at Ariccia and S. Andrea al Quirinale, as well as for S. Carlo al Corso. Most of the picture galleries in Rome have impressive examples of his work, perhaps most memorably the Museo Capitolino, Accademia di S. Luca, Galleria Doria-Pamphili, Palazzo Spada, and Pinacoteca of the Vatican, where a splendid Battle Scene (1650s) from the Ferrieri

Collection is only slightly smaller than the present canvas. Notwithstanding his fame as “the Raphael of Battles,” his paintings appear to be rare in American collections: some have however appeared on the market, notably a Christian and Turkish Battle of almost exactly this same size, at Hampel Kunstauktion in Munich on 17 September 2010 (lot 2556), another at the Dorotheum in Vienna on 21 April 2010 (lot 178), and one still larger at Christie’s London on 7 July 2009 (lot 27). On account of its scale, its vivid handling, its apparently unique inscribed localization, and its status as a great late work (it was necessarily painted between the date of the battle in 1667 and Borgognone’s death in Rome on 14 November 1675), this is a most exceptional offering.References: Robert N.

life-class drawings had already been assembled into a small collection, as recorded on a note attached to one of the group (“set by Wm. Chas. Landseer, March 1847”). The set was sold intact at Christie’s in 1966: one of the five sheets was acquired by Shepherd Gallery Associates in New York, and published in their English 19th Century catalogue of 1983 (no. 60, the source of the citation above); another was acquired by St. Jude Gallery, London, and published by Edward Lucie-Smith, Life Class, 1989, p. 20. Prof. Malcolm Warner, Senior Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, wrote to James Lamantia in 1999 that on the basis of the “convincing inscription” quoted above, and compelling evidence that it is “securely attributed,” he planned to include the sheet in his forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Millais.

As is certainly apparent from these early masterpieces, Millais was a highly precocious prodigy. He was taken up to London (from Southampton) in 1838, and accepted into the Royal Academy

Schools as its youngest-ever student in 1840, at the age of eleven. He won a silver medal there in 1843 for a drawing After the Antique, and in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1846 he showed his first painting; a second in 1847 won a gold medal (making it clear why Landseer was motivated to collect his drawings). At the Academy Schools Millais became a close friend of William Holman Hunt (1827-1910); together with Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) they resolved to form the renowned “Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood” at Millais’s house in

September 1848. For ten or a dozen years he painted some of the best-known Pre-Raphaelite pictures; from the 1860s he developed several (ever more lucrative) changes of style, and by 1878 had become the wealthiest and most celebrated artist of his time. He was created a Baronet in 1885—the first artist to be elevated to the peerage—and was successively an Associate (1853), a Member (1863) and the President (1895) of the Royal Academy. This hauntingly beautiful sheet, distantly and selectively recalling the fashionable style of William Etty (1787-1849), is one of the finest examples of his earliest manner.References: Malcolm Warner, “Millais, Sir John Everett,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., 34 vols., London 1996, vol. 21, pp. 601-604; idem, letter to James Lamantia, 10 September 1999; Christopher Wood, The Pre-Raphaelites, London 1981, New York 1994, pp. 30-39; Millais, monographic exhibition at Tate Britain, 26 September 2007-13 January 2008.

167. Attributed to Michael Dahl (Swedish/British, 1656-1743), “A Lady, three-quarter length, Seated with her Head on her Right Hand”, c. 1700, oil on canvas, unsigned, 50 in. x 40 1/4 in., in an antique carved and gessoed wood frame.

$5000/7000

Provenance: A New York City town house, c. 1940; descended in a Mississippi family.

Note: This impressive and well-preserved painting shows a young woman seated languidly before a large fringed drapery, her right elbow on a stone balustrade, and her dreamily tilted head propped on her right hand. Its size of 50 x 40 inches is identical with many portraits that Dahl painted in England, where he worked for almost sixty years (and rarely signed his pictures). For the sixth Duke of Somerset he painted in the 1690s a celebrated series of seven notable contemporary beauties—commissioned for full-lengths, but in the event painted as three-quarter lengths—in emulation of Sir Godfrey Kneller’s famous “Hampton Court Beauties.” This picture is almost identical in pose (apart from the raised right hand, and the leg positions) with Dahl’s Lady, Seated, in a Golden Satin Dress—at 50 x 40 ½ in.—sold at Christie’s New York, 2 June 2005; even the stone balustrade and the darker drapery falling across her right shoulder, to be held in her lap, are the same.Reference: Richard Jeffree, “Dahl, Michael,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 8, pp. 453-455.

Provenance: Colnaghi’s, London, 1961; James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: This unusually clear and handsome sketch is a highly characteristic work by West (as its provenance from one of the world’s foremost dealerships in old master drawings would suggest). Its head is a marvel of economy, with its few pencil strokes establishing the basic profile and cranial structure: its uplifted pose and loose hair, in addition to its concentration on the shadows of the eyelids, below the nose and mouth, and in the shaded neck, are very closely paralleled (for example)

169. Frederick Goodall, R.A. (British, 1822-1904), “The Way to the Tomb”, 1894, oil on board, monogrammed and dated lower right, 13 1/2 in. x 22 in., in a gilt frame.

$2000/3000

Provenance: Morton’s Auction Exchange, New Orleans, March, 1979, lot 79.

Note: English painter Frederick Goodall, R.A. first gained notoriety when he won a silver medal at the Society of Arts in 1937 at the age of 14. Two years later he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the first of many exhibitions at that institution. In the early years, Goodall painted mostly peasant and genre scenes which brought him much acclaim and he was made an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1852 and a full member of that body in 1863. His world view changed greatly in 1858 when he took the first of two trips to Egypt. These trips and the work he produced helped to cement his legacy as an Orientalist painter. In this example, the, the body of a notable Egyptian is being carried by six men to the tomb through topography reminiscent of the Valley of the Kings. The body is most probably that of an important leader and quite possibly a Pharaoh based on the size of the funeral procession that appears far away on the ridge in the center of the painting.

Goodall’s career flourished in his lifetime. He became one of the most sought-after painters in Britain and his name helped establish two of his children Frederick T. and Herbert as artists.

on a sheet of studies by West at the Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College. West’s trademark gown with its high waist and clinging skirt is similar to that in his Design for a Pediment at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA; the fall of the bodice across the right breast, and the shape of the girdle, match West’s drawing The Destroying Angel at the Royal Academy; while the gestures here of the right arm, hand, and sleeve are identical to those in his Belisarius of 1784 at the Philadelphia Museum. The handling throughout is closely reflected in the Raising

of Lazarus at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York (which now holds the largest collection of West’s drawings). The head here has an almost exact cognate in another sheet of sketches for an Ascension at the Morgan, while the general composition, the supporting block, and especially the summary, shorthand feet appearing beneath the gown are repeated in the same collection’s Seated Sibyl. This figure’s overall attitude, and specifically the almost automatic parallel strokes around its contours, find close cognates in the Morgan’s Seated Male Nude; and the basic compositional type is exactly paralleled in their Seated Woman with a Musical Instrument, which is fully developed as a study for West’s famous painting of Mrs. William Beckford (now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington), for that family’s celebrated site at Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire.References: Ruth S.

Note: As noted apropos of the other drawing by Solomon in this catalogue, the Profile Head of 1905, this precocious artist met Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) in 1858, and Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) shortly after; their combined influence led Solomon into increasingly dangerous dissolution, and a personal crisis in 1873 from which he never fully recovered (though Burne-Jones later called him “the greatest artist of us all”). This fine drawing does clearly demonstrate, though, the tenderness and subtlety which he could occasionally command, even in the second phase of his life. His dreamy, introspective personification of “Memory” is rendered in delicate, evanescent red chalk, in which the pensive head is outlined against twin sprigs of laurel, as a symbol of her victorious, and ultimately triumphant, retrospection. James Lamantia, in his commentary to the publication of this beautiful sheet in 1964, compared its

$2000/3000

Provenance: James R. Lamantia, Jr. New Orleans and New York.

Note: The artist of this fine sheet was unusually precocious, taking his first academic training at age twelve, and entering the Royal Academy Schools at sixteen. Through the influence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), Solomon became enamored of the fashionable Pre-Raphaelite style. His artist sister Rebecca Solomon (1832-1886) encouraged his deep Hebraic spirituality. In the mid-1860s he came under the profound influence of Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898), who

particularly affected his technique of drawing; he began painting seductive mythological subjects from the classical repertory, which enjoyed an enormous success. He became intimately associated with Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, Albert Moore, and William Morris; but personal problems beginning in 1873 caused his work and his health to deteriorate, and much of his later work does not match the quality of his earlier output. This imposing sheet—drawn in the last year of his troubled life—is clearly an exception, testifying that in this haunting image Solomon had more than regained his original power and inspiration.Reference: Simon Reynolds, “Simeon Solomon,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 29, pp. 47-48.

impressionistic technique to that of an exact contemporary of Solomon’s in France, Odilon Redon (1840-1916); but in actual fact the closer analogy for this particularly personal use of red chalk is in the drawings of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898), especially in such a haunting image as his Portrait of Marguerite of c. 1870.Notes: Christopher Wood, The Pre-Raphaelites, New York, 1994, pp. 130-134; Margaret Morgan Grasselli and Judith Brodie, Drawings from the O’Neal Collection, Washington, 1993, cover, and pp. 84-85, no. 53; Elisabeth Kashey, 19th C.

174. John Ruskin (British, 1819-1900), “The Roman Arch at Susa in Piedmont”, c. 1830s/40s or later, traces of graphite with black and white gouache on gray paper, unsigned, 6 1/4 in. x 6 1/2 in., on a decorated French mat, hinged to a modern mount.

$2000/3000

Provenance: George Dicks; Durlacher, New York, 1956; James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: The Arch at Susa (9-8 B. C.), in the Piedmontese foothills of the Mont-Cenis Pass, was erected early in the sequence of Imperial arches to commemorate the alliance between Augustus and Julius Cottius, for whom the surrounding Cottian Alps are named—and which press close on this tiny town in Ruskin’s sketch. The structure’s simple, basic form is well represented in Ruskin’s admirable (and very dramatic) drawing: the uncompromisingly plain arch with its undecorated vault is framed on each façade only by a pair of engaged Corinthian columns, supporting a simple entablature with a continuous frieze, below an attic that is perhaps disproportionately low (and which Ruskin tactfully allows to run off the top of his sheet, thus implying its greater height). The arch’s one embellishment is the celebrated frieze that memorably marks Augustus’ early alliance: Ruskin beautifully catches its tribal warriors and sacrificial animals with strong highlights only on their lower anatomies, thus minimizing the damage to the weathered modillions above. The young artist probably crossed the Mont-Cenis with his parents in 1835, en route to his first experience of Venice; several other Continental journeys followed in quick succession, especially a Italian long sojourn in 1840-1841. This fine sheet may date at any time in those early decades, or even later—concentrating as it does on his two principal passions, those of monumental architecture and unusual topography.References: Guido A. Mansuelli et alia, Studi sull’Arco Onorario Romano, Rome, 1979, pp. 90, 120-122, 139, pls. 7, 12, and 13; Dinah Birch, “Ruskin,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 27, pp. 350-356.

Note: One of the most important and influential critics of the entire 19th c., Ruskin was also a highly accomplished artist, having been trained as a youth—especially in watercolor—by Copley Fielding (1787-1855) and James Duffield Harding (1798-1863; the latter had been a pupil of Samuel Prout [1783-1852], a near neighbor and lifelong idol of Ruskin’s). The theme doubly presented here, of grottos presented at different times of the day, had been pioneered in various versions by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797), showing Italian examples, and following the precedent of such painters as Pietro Fabris (known active in Naples c. 1756-1779). These two dramatic and impressive sheets, with their didactic aim of illustrating a similar but evidently landlocked natural feature in contrasting lights, emphasize the fact that young Ruskin was an eager student of natural science, especially of geology (and they were probably drawn in the English Lake District, the northwestern home of the Fielding family). His watercolor studies of rock formations have always been judged particularly fine; and as Anne Lyles has remarked, “Ruskin’s drawings of mountains attempt something more than an intelligent grasp of geology…they seek to show the inner construction, rhythms, and tensions of form—to reveal, in fact, the underlying structural order of the natural world.” After an enormously active lifetime of drawing and writing, Ruskin withdrew in the late 1880s to his own Lake Country home at Brantwood, on Coniston Water, just a few miles from Windermere. There he was cared for by his cousin Joan Agnew Ruskin, who in 1871 married the artist Arthur Severn; the Severns became the heirs of Brantwood, and the owners of these

drawings—which thus have an unbroken provenance, directly from the artist himself.References: Anne Lyles and Andrew Wilton, The Great Age of British Watercolours, London and Washington, 1993, pp. 85, 138, 308, 320-321, pl. 164; Dinah Birch, “Ruskin,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., 34 vols., London, 1996, vol. 27, pp. 350-356; Marcia Pointon, “Fielding,” ibid., vol. 11, pp. 59-61; David Cordingly, “Harding,” ibid., vol. 14, p. 166; Scott Wilcox, “Prout,” ibid., vol. 25, pp. 661-662; Frederick Cummings and Allen Staley, Romantic Art in Britain, Philadelphia, 1968, pp. 71-72, no. 30.

John Ruskin (English, 1819-1900), “A Weathered Dressed Stone in a Minimal Landscape”, c. late 1830s/early 1840s, graphite and white gouache on buff wove paper, initialed “J.R.” at right center, 3 15/16 in x 6 3/4 in., (right edge irregular, though with uniform traces of attachment: probably a page from a notebook); hinged to cream-colored mount, 7 1/4 in. x 10 3/8 in.

Exhibited: James Lamantia, Drawing and Architecture, Art Department, Sophie Newcomb College, Tulane University, New Orleans, 15-26 March 1965, no. 26.

Note: This is manifestly an early drawing by Ruskin, whose lifelong credo it was to examine meticulously every element of “Nature,” by which he meant both the human and the natural environments. This sheet, evidently from a small notebook of regular size, may even have been a study for a finished drawing (fully signed, with the initials in the same form as here, and dated 1841) now in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City. That big sheet, some three times larger in each direction, depicts a distant view of the Aventine Hill in Rome, from the Ponte Rotto on the Tiber; and—in Ruskin’s panorama—the remnant of a Papal monument on the near shore is composed of dressed ashlar blocks, some dozen of which are exactly synchronous with the one studied here, and are even shown in the same perspective. (After an ill-fated Papal restoration in 1575, the Ponte Rotto finally collapsed in 1598, a date which accords well with the weathering of the block sketched here.) Even if Ruskin did not encounter this block in Rome—though a hint of the herbage around the base of the ruined Papal feature, in the Kansas City drawing, may well be the reason for the grass or weeds around the stone in this sketch—the date inscribed on the larger sheet, when the artist was twenty-two years old, accords remarkably well with the early drawing presented here.References: Roger Ward and Mark Weil, Master Drawings from The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, St. Louis, 1989, p. and pl. 56; Guida d’Italia, Roma e dintorni, Milan, 1977, p. 464.

Provenance: Sir Henry Acland (1815-1900), Surgeon, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, 1844; Sir Henry Wentworth Dyke Acland; Sir William Henry Dyke Acland, Baronet, by 1965; his sale, Christie’s London, 22 March 1966, lot 62, sold to Alister Matthews, Bournemouth and Poole; purchased from the latter by James R. Lamantia Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Published: William R. Cullison III and James Lamantia, An Eye for Architecture, Tulane University Library (Southeastern Architectural Archive), New Orleans, 1984, p. 24, no. 22.

Note: This drawing has been somewhat ambiguous of attribution from its very inception. On 27 November 1844 the young Ruskin wrote to the Oxford surgeon Dr. Henry Acland (who had loaned Ruskin a box of human bones, purportedly but not accurately containing a full skeleton) that “[George] Richmond has lent me a lady’s foot—the contours of which are exquisite—finished to perfection—I am drawing it for the book—tried to foreshorten it twice and couldn’t[;] but the profile is finest, luckily” (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MSS. Acland d. 72, folio 4 c). The book to which Ruskin refers was a volume containing anatomical drawings as well as very early and valuable vintage photographs, being compiled by Dr. Acland (the invention of photography had only been announced by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1839). That album was given to the Bodleian in 1983 (MS. Photogr. b. 34) by his descendant Mrs. Peter Tabor, after her father Sir William Henry Dyke Acland had removed the non-photographic items from it, and sold them at

Christie’s as recorded above. Since this sheet thus has both an unbroken chain of ownership and a clear statement by Ruskin himself, not only that he drew it but that he drew it in the profile view we see here, there should certainly be no question as to his documented authorship. But ironically Ruskin had also given drawing lessons to Dr. Acland himself; and a suspicion lingers that this sheet, precisely though it may match its description in Ruskin’s letter, might possibly have been executed instead by that very Dr. Henry Acland (whose sketchbooks surviving at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, unfortunately offer no useful testimony as to this question).

The reasons for which such a suspicion is probably not warranted are the very fact that the foot in question did not belong to Acland himself, but rather to George Richmond in London, who loaned it directly to Ruskin. Second, the young artist’s self-avowed difficulties of rendering the foot in foreshortened views could very well have occasioned the heavy un-Ruskinian crosshatching behind it—so effective as an obliteration—that has engendered the uncertainty (albeit expressed only verbally) of such critics as Tim Hilton (Ruskin, The Early Years, London, 1985). Certainly this sheet was always recognized to be an autograph drawing of Ruskin’s by the Acland family, and confirmed as such when it was offered in the Acland sale in 1966: it was paired there with a Rhine Landscape inscribed by Ruskin to “Dear Acland,” and the two sheets even at that early date fetched 100 guineas (£105). It should also be said that no less a luminary (and fellow early photographer) than Professor Charles Lutwidge Dodgson of Oxford University—the immortal Lewis Carroll, 1832-1898—noted in his diary (Thursday 12 November 1857, published by The Lewis Carroll Society, 1993) that he had attended “an evening party at Dr. Acland’s,” where he had been shown what seems to be this same skeletal image, and judged it to be “an exquisite drawing by Ruskin.”Documentation: Dossier of 2000-2005 compiled for The Maas Gallery Ltd., London, by Rupert Maas, Jeremy Maas, Stephen Wildman, Colin Harrison and Giles Hudson, annotated by James R.

177. Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (British, 1812-1852), “The Eschenheim Tower, City Gate of Frankfurt”, c. 1833/34, graphite on light cream-colored laid paper, very faintly signed “Aug. Pugin” (and possibly dated?) lower left, paper watermarked “[18]33” behind upper right, edge-bordered in thin black ink, 9 7/8 in. x 7 in., in modern mount.

$1000/1500

Provenance: James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: This is an early example of Pugin’s architectural—or more properly topographical—studies, being a view from the north of the famous old watchtower (1400-1428) on the northwest line of the former city walls at Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany. The Eschenheim Gate is now restored to its Medieval form, as Pugin meticulously drew it; like all the monuments of Frankfurt, it was substantially reconstructed after World War II. The twin turrets a third of the way up now have new windows, roof spires, and machiolations; there are two more windows (distinguished by their more modern stonework) to light intermediate floors in the tower itself; and the machiolations, battlements, and spires of the crowning ring of turrets have all been rebuilt. Pugin probably owed his deep acquaintance with this tower to the constant series of travels that he undertook to study Medieval architecture on the Continent (principally in France, Belgium and Germany) beginning in May 1832, when his first wife died in childbirth; and his father, his mother, and his aunt—from whom he inherited financial independence—all followed her within a few months. The paper of this drawing is dated “[18]33” on what is almost certainly a remnant of a John Whatman watermark: there is no reason to assume that Pugin would have availed himself of such a prestigious paper in any later year than 1833/34, and we may confidently take that internal evidence as the date of this fine drawing. Pugin’s later career, as perhaps the finest Gothic Revival architect of the first half of the 19th c., is here given a very significant impetus.Reference: Alexandra Wedgwood, “A. W. N. Pugin,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 25, pp. 711-716; Baedeker’s Germany, New York, 1986, p. 126.

178. Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (British, 1812-1852), “The Belfry, Godenberg”, perhaps 1840s, traces of graphite under sepia watercolor, on cream-colored wove paper, titled at bottom center but unsigned, 7 7/8 in. x 5 3/4 in., in a modern mount.

$1000/1500

Provenance: James R. Lamantia, Jr., New Orleans and New York.

Note: This is a somewhat puzzling drawing, since the town name (in the same sepia ink as the image, and thus presumably inscribed by the artist) seems possibly to be a misspelling for “Göteborg” the city on the southwest coast of Sweden that is often anglicized as “Gothenburg”. As the second-largest

city in Sweden, however, with a modern population of some half-million, it seems an unlikely place for Pugin to have sketched the very rustic bell platform in cross-braced timberwork that we see in this fine drawing. On the other hand, that town’s Neo-Gothic church dates only from 1856-59; and since Pugin died in Kent in 1852, it is perhaps conceivable that he might have found Gothenburg’s ecclesiastical foundation (still evidently lacking an up-to-date building during his lifetime) to be relying on what seems clearly a temporary structure for its bell, whose works look more physically suited to a high tower. The setting is less problematic: Gothenburg’s city walls were dismantled in the first decade of the 19th c., and the areas beyond the former moat were landscaped as a park—thus perhaps accounting for the surprising amount of greenery in this drawing. Pugin is recorded as having made more than annual visits to the Continent from the early 1830s; and although Sweden is not specifically mentioned in the summaries of his itineraries, Scottish and English merchants had thronged to Gothenburg’s harbor for over a century and a half, drawn by the Canton trade of its East India Company. From the mid-1840s Gothenburg’s monumental buildings were dominated by the historicist movement, which itself may have tempted Pugin—the archetypal historicist architect—to make the journey to see the town, and perhaps to submit a project for its buildings.References: Gunilla Linde, “Göteborg [Gothenburg],” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., London, 1996, 34 vols., vol. 13, pp. 30-31; Alexandra Wedgwood, “A.

$800/1200


Note: The Jermyn Street Turkish Baths, built in 1862 and destroyed by a Nazi bomb in World War II, are indicative of the 19th-century fascination with the Orient, particularly the Arab world with its mosques, sheiks, and souks. The architect for the baths, George Somers Clarke (1825-1882), trained with Sir Charles Barry and later became an important exponent of Ruskinian Gothic. Stevenson, a draftsman, detailed much of the Tower Bridge in London for Sir Horace Jones. After Jones’ death, Stevenson took over work on the bridge. These two drawings, elaborately detailed and handsomely executed were probably prepared for presentation purposes.

Exhibited: James Lamantia, Drawing and Architecture, Art Department, Sophie Newcomb College, Tulane University, New Orleans, 15-26 March, 1965, no. 27C.

Note: This very charming tiny drawing shows the famous critic John Ruskin in a moment of acute and sympathetic environmental observation. Its view is a coastal scene recorded in the artist’s sketchbook from the summer of 1852, of which James Lamantia in 1965 exhibited the sheets numbered 154, 157, and 158: the torn upper left corner confirms this sheet’s quick removal from that matrix. The abraded traces of adhesive at left, and the associated holes for binding, bear out such an everyday origin. The thin line of lighter paper at the very top is perhaps the relic of a mat which may once have overlapped the sheet; but since the same color change also extends irregularly beneath the abrasions on the left edge, the greater likelihood is that Ruskin may have toned the sheet with a bistre wash, as a naturalistic ground better calculated to show up the bi-chromatic gouache that he later applied to the skyline and water.

183.

$5000/7000

Note: These chairs are identical to a chair pictured in the library of landscape painter and Associated Artists designer Samuel Colman’s Rhode Island cottage.

The supports, ring turnings and spindles in the chairs are nearly identical to those on ebonized and inlaid chairs by Herter Brothers in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 93.15), the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (acc. 1928.121-1) respectively.

Light and linear in form, the Herter chairs are influenced by Japanese aesthetics and relate closely to oak dining chairs designed in 1869 by E.W. Godwin for Dromore Castle, Limerick County, Ireland and published in William Watts. Art Furniture from Designs by E.W. Godwin, F.S.A. and Others, 1877.Reference: Howe, et. al.

Note: The high quality and attention to detail expressed in the present lot, both in the inlay and bronze mounts, bespeaks an accomplished New York City maker working in the manner of Alexander Roux.

187. An American Aesthetic Carved Walnut Dressing Table, c. 1870-80, Herter Bros., New York, rectangular molded lift top enclosing beveled mirror plate and satinwood fitted compartments, over long drawer, ring-turned and blocked legs, conforming stretchers, outswept brass feet, height 28 1/2 in., width 26 in., depth 18 in.

$3000/5000

Note: Several elements on this dressing table relate to known Herter examples. The escutcheons are identical to one on a desk made for Jay Gould with Herter’s 1882 bill of sale, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 69.146.3). The turned supports and stretchers are nearly identical to those on a side chair bearing the Herter impressed mark “4430”, also at the Met (acc. 93.15). The incised stiles, drawer fronts and returns relate closely to those on a walnut dresser bearing the Herter stamp sold in these rooms December 4, 1993.Reference: Howe, et. al.

190. An American Classical Carved Mahogany Pedestal Cabinet, c. 1825, Baltimore, frieze drawer above a Gothic arch paneled door, “Egyptian” caryatid pilasters, blocked base, incised suppressed bun feet, in “estate” condition, height 44 1/2 in., width 25 in., depth 28 in.

$5000/7000

Note: The use of distinctive “Egyptian” term supports on this cabinet recalls those on a sideboard attributed to John Needles (Baltimore, 1786-1878) in the Colonial Williamsburg collection and a cylinder desk attributed to Joseph Barry (Philadelphia 1757-1838) in the Hollander collection.

The interpretive use of Egyptian figures is distinctive to certain high style Baltimore cabinet makers such as Needles or William Camp (fl. 1801-1822) and Edward Priestly (1778-1834). However, the lack of embellishment along the columnar bodies and the carving on the faces of the figures on this cabinet are most closely related to those on a Baltimore sideboard believed to be owned by Thomas Courtney Jenkins (Baltimore, 1802-1881) and exhibited at the Maryland Historical Society in 1993.Reference: examples of Philadelphia and Baltimore case furniture with figural supports are illustrated in: Hurst and Prown, Southern Furniture 1860-1830, pp. 525-529, pl. 159; Weidman, Furniture in Maryland 1790-1840 pp. 140-141, pl 100 (cylinder desk) and p. 159 pl. 120 (sideboard); Feld and Feld, In Pointed Style, p. 36-37, pl. 4 (sideboard); Howe and Warren The Gothic Revival Style in America, p. 44, pl. 78 (desk); Fennimore and Trump, “Joseph B.

During the Tang Dynasty the trade route known as the Silk Road flourished. Most of the overland trade between China and the West was carried out by Central Asian and Near Eastern merchants. Indicative of the trade route’s incredible breadth, two-hump Bactrian camels were preferred to the single-hump Arabian camels as they were more capable of traveling father distances.

Figures of these camels were likely modeled for persons of rank and means. Given its choice as the primary method of transporting goods along the Silk Road, the camel’s presence both in life and in the afterlife connoted abundance and prosperity.

$5000/7000

Provenance: Succession of Harry T. Howard III, New Orleans, LA.

Exhibited: Isaac Delgado Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA, “The Twenty-First Annual Exhibition”, March 4th-April 1st, 1922, catalogue no. 27.

Note: Impressionist painter Robert Reid was a founding member of the Ten American Painters. His work from the late 1890s and into the 20th century often depicts idealized young women set in landscapes holding flowers. In 1920 Reid moved to Colorado Springs where he joined the faculty of Broadmoor Academy and taught until 1927. During these years he concentrated more on portraiture, creating what he called “portrait impressions” by quickly painting essential forms and features in broad, vigorous brush strokes. The portrait of Elise Mason Smith offered here is a fine example of this style. Reid depicts her very demurely, seated and holding a bouquet of columbines, a flower closely identified to Colorado.

Elise Mason Smith was the daughter of William Mason Smith, the proprietor of the Mason Smith & Co. cotton firm, who also served as the president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange in the early 1900s. The Mason Smith family resided at 4534 St. Charles Avenue, a Mediterranean-style villa designed by Frank Gravely in 1906. Elise, depicted here in 1921, reigned as queen of the Mistick Krewe of Comus in 1917 and was a founding member of the Junior League of New Orleans in 1924. In 1927, she married prominent New Orleanian Harry Turner Howard, Jr.

$10000/15000

Note: William S. Robinson moved to Biloxi, MS in 1937 following the closing of the Old Lyme Art Colony in Connecticut where he had spent the previous decades. A true American Impressionist, Robinson applied his skills to the depiction of the environs of the Gulf Coast and produced a notable body of work in and around Biloxi. In the 1930s, the waterfront and back bay of Biloxi were very active places, with shrimp boats, canneries,

and yacht clubs on the Gulf of Mexico. The work offered here depicts a ferry boat moored at the dock. The buildings visible on the horizon in the background indicate that this is a scene on the back bay of Biloxi.

$8000/12000

Provenance: Sold for the Benefit of the Dominican Sisters of Peace.

Note: Achille Peretti was from a family of artists in Piedmont, Italy. He studied art extensively throughout Italy and came to New Orleans in 1884. Peretti received many commissions for frescoes and paintings for buildings and churches including the Pickwick Club, New Orleans Opera Company, St. Patrick’s Church and St. Louis Cathedral. Perhaps it was during his time working on St. Louis Cathedral that he painted the alleys by this building, presently known as Pirate’s Alley and Cabildo Alley. Peretti lived around the corner at 632 St. Peter Street, so he would have seen these places often. The view down Cabildo Alley may capture part of his residence in the background. These large canvases depict the architecture of the Vieux Carré with great chiaroscuro effect of light and shadow, a technique he would have mastered during his studies in Italy. Painted with fine accuracy, Peretti documents the facades of the buildings on these historic streets.

$2500/3500

Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist.

Note: Philippe Regis de Trobriand, an amateur painter and member of a wealthy French family, emigrated to the United States in 1841. When the Civil War broke out, he became a colonel of the Union French-American forces, the Gardes Lafayette and was brevetted General. After the war, de Trobriand commanded forces in North Dakota; his painting skills were further honed at this time by his exposure to contemporary artists such as John James Audubon and George Catlin.

In 1875, General de Trobriand was sent to New Orleans to command the occupation forces. After his retirement in 1878, he kept a winter home in New Orleans and was involved in the New Orleans arts community. He served on the Art Commission for the 1884 World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition.

$80000/120000

Provenance: Collection of Elise Meisen Smith Howard; Succession of Harry T. Howard III, New Orleans.

Note: The landscape offered here perfectly exemplifies the artistic precepts of Richard Clague. His landscape compositions usually have a “central view” and feature a road or water in the foreground, wedging toward a horizontal screen of trees, often with a vernacular building and rural figures (people or livestock) below an expanse of sky. Clague’s luminist tendencies are exemplified by the vivid blue Louisiana sky streaked with clouds. The handling of light as seen in the reflection on the bayou ties the landscape to the sky above.

The marshes in southern Louisiana were sites of salt production by Native peoples for 500 years well in advance of later production by European settlers and American entrepreneurs. The marsh landscape and figure at center wielding a long handled trowel seen here are indicative of an evaporation pool for brine salt production. With brine works and the discovery of a salt dome at Avery Island in 1862, salt production was essential to the Confederate cause; the Avery Island mine produced 10,000 metric tons of rock salt until Union Colonel W.K. Kimball destroyed the mine’s infrastructure in 1863.

The two towers depicted in this late 19th c. canvas are perhaps the earliest precursor of the technology that would drive Louisiana mineral/oil and gas production decades later. The pipes centering each tower work together to create a siphon extracting underground reservoirs. Oil, gas, and sulphur drilling occurred on a large scale near Lake Charles, Louisiana after 1900, though exploratory wells certainly would have appeared earlier.

The scene here is a more modest production than the Avery Island Salt Dome or later oil patches, the wells are integrated with agricultural pursuits, vine stakes are shown in the field on the left. The scene is significant. A mere “curiosity” would have been presented in sketch form by Clague. This canvas, large and meticulously rendered, indicates the importance of the site to the artist and his patrons and evidences the importance of mineral production in southern Louisiana after 1850.

Thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Jack Holden for their thoughtful examination of this canvas.

$80000/120000

Provenance: Private collection, New Orleans, LA.

Note: While the focal point of William Henry Buck’s Louisiana landscapes are often moss-laden live oak trees, he frequently incorporates an example of regional architecture into the paintings. They may be buildings related to plantation life or shanties found along the lakeshore. In rare examples, they are of documented known locales. In the painting offered here, Buck depicts a charming schoolhouse on the edge of the bayou. The graceful arched doorway and illuminated windows provide an insightful view of regional architecture. There is a bridge across the bayou on the right side of the composition, with a sailboat plying the waters beyond.

345. Bror Anders Wikstrom (American/Louisiana, 1854-1909), “Sailing at Dusk”, 1909, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, 12 in. x 17 in., original gilt frame.

$8000/12000

Note: Bror Anders Wikstrom spent his youth in the merchant marine before studying art in his native Stockholm. Coming to New Orleans in the early 1880s, he was very active in the local art scene. He was one of the organizers of the Artists Association of New Orleans and the most prolific Carnival designer of the 1880s and 1890s. Wikstrom painted Louisiana and Florida landscapes and portraits, but is best known for his marine paintings, many of which depict sailing scenes on Lake Ponchartrain and along the Gulf Coast of Florida. In addition to the time spent at sea as a boy, he also frequently traveled to Europe and the Caribbean, providing additional inspiration for his work. The painting offered depicts a consistent theme in Wikstrom’s oeuvre: a schooner at full sail on the open water, with a dramatic gray sky over mauve purple seas.

$2500/3500

Note: Cornelius Hankins studied art in St. Louis with Robert Henri and at the New York School of Fine Art with William Merritt Chase. Prior to this, in 1883, he studied in Nashville with Professor E.M. Gardner who founded the Nashville Art Association. He permanently settled in Nashville in 1904 and supported himself primarily as a portrait artist. Hankins’ talent, however, is best illustrated in his bucolic landscapes and well composed still life paintings. The work offered here depicts a lush wooded river landscape of the Cumberland plateau. With its visible brushwork, the influence of his Impressionist teachers Chase and Henri is evident.

348.

width 35 in., depth 17 1/4 in.

$1500/2500

Note: The label on this table is from 1828-1829, the short period that Rufus Pierce had sole proprietorship of a furniture warehouse at 17 Market Street in Boston. Pierce was partnered with Isaac Allen in 1827 and then with Nathaniel Messer from 1829-1830. In 1830 Pierce had relocated to New York when creditors sold the 17 Market (renamed Cornhill) Street inventories.Reference: Talbott. “Boston Empire Furniture”, Magazine Antiques (May 1976), p. 1008, figs. 8-10.

353. Attributed to Rembrandt Peale (American, 1778-1860), “Portrait of Mary Davenport Kimball”, oil on canvas, inscribed label en verso, 21 in. x 17 in., unframed.

$6000/8000

Note: Working in the Neoclassical style of artists such as Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt Peale followed in his father’s footsteps as a portraitist. Among his sitters are such notable figures as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Marshall; however, his main clientele were wealthy patrons from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and the surrounding areas. In his portraits of our nation’s leaders and its citizens, Peale infuses dignity, emotion, and a sense of gravitas, which can be noted in the current lot, a portrait of Mary Davenport Kimball (1814-1868), wife of Stephen Kimball (1807-1870).

The Kimballs were a wealthy Philadelphia family with three children, George Peabody Kimball, Edward Stephen Kimball, and Anna Harper Kimball; in the 1870 United States Federal Census, the Kimball children, having inherited their father’s estate, are listed as living in the 24th district of Philadelphia. Edward Kimball is known to have enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania in 1860, although he left during his first year (most likely to join the war effort).

This lovely portrait of their mother, Mary, illustrates many of Peale’s strongest qualities in portrait painting. The indistinct background with a halo of light around the sitter’s head, the emotional expression in the eyes, and the red, heart-shaped lips all bear a resemblance to Peale’s portrait of his daughters Rosalba and Eleanor in his 1826 painting The Sisters.

354. Conrad Wise Chapman (American, 1842-1910), “River Landscape”, 1882, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 24 in. x 41 in., period frame.

$6000/8000

Note: The son of American artist John Gatsby Chapman in 1842, Conrad Wise Chapman was exposed to art and culture at an early age. When Conrad was young his father moved the family to Italy to paint. Chapman returned to America in 1861 to fight on the side of his native Virginia during the Civil War. Some of Chapman’s most important works were created during this time, including a series of thirty-one paintings of the war as he witnessed it while stationed in Charleston Harbor. Now in the collection of the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, this important group of paintings give us a glimpse of the war’s destruction as well as a rare view of the Confederate submarine H.L.

Hunley.

The rugged terrain of the landscape depicted here with its bustling boat traffic and moody clouds shows Chapman’s adeptness in handling large scale panoramic scenes. While the location of the painting is unidentified, Chapman traveled widely in his post-war years, including Mexico, France, Italy and Northern Virginia.

$10000/15000

Note: The image of two young women dressed in their Sunday clothes, staring at the camera with intensity, has become an iconic example of Fonville photography. The 1938 image depicts Fonville’s familiarity with capturing the various expressions on the faces of native Louisianians. Although the mood greatly differs from the jovial expression on the face of the oyster shucker in The Oysterman or the rough nature of Pierre Lombas in Native Shrimpman, the similarities between these three famed images are displayed through Fonville’s ability to see into his sitter’s emotional state of mind and capture it through the camera.

363. Clementine Hunter (American/Louisiana, 1886-1988), “Melrose Plantation, Africa House and Grounds”, c. 1955, cotton stitched and appliquéd quilt with brown paper backing, 78 in. x 55 1/2 in.; accompanied by a letter written to the present owner on behalf of Clementine Hunter, postmarked Oct. 17, 1955, Melrose, LA.

$8000/12000

Provenance: Purchased from the artist, 1955.

Note: Clementine Hunter created quilt tops and wall-hangings, the most impressive of which depict the buildings and people of Melrose Plantation. The quilt offered here shows the “Big House” of Melrose in the center of the work with the Africa House placed in the upper right. Several other outbuildings are depicted, as are two female figures and a man fishing in a boat. The man fishing is a distinct figure sometimes seen in Hunter’s paintings.

The collection of Melrose Plantation includes a quilt top with a similar color block background which also depicts vignettes of life there. Illustrated in Painting by Heart: The Life and Art of Clementine Hunter on page 72 is yet another large quilt showing the “Big House” in the center, the Africa House to the upper right and many of the same female figures and men fishing.

Hunter’s large quilts are exceedingly rare. The bold colors and strong geometry and design of the work offered here place it within the highest order of the textiles she created. This quilt was commissioned by the current owner c. 1955 directly from Clementine Hunter.Reference: Gilley, Shelby, Painting by Heart: The Life and Art of Clementine Hunter, Baton Rouge: St. Emma Press, 2000.

$6000/8000

Note: Colette Pope Heldner depicts one of the most iconic corners in the French Quarter in this lively Bastille Day scene. The Napoleon House and Pierro Maspero’s provide the backdrop for a wide variety of “characters”, including a Lucky Dog vendor, street musician, performers with a monkey, French sailors with a lady, and two nuns. The artist even includes herself in the composition, in the lower right corner, carrying her canvas and easel. The large number of people in the painting, who are reveling, dancing and drinking, convey the conviviality of this French holiday, celebrated with great joie de vivre in New Orleans.

366. Ellsworth Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1861-1939), “French Market, New Orleans, Louisiana”, 1886, watercolor and gouache en grisaille on paper, signed and dated lower left, titled lower center, handwritten inscription with extensive family provenance en verso, 12 7/8 in. x 17 3/4 in., framed.

$5000/7500

Note: Ellsworth Woodward came to New Orleans in 1885 to take the position of Assistant Professor of Painting & Drawing at Tulane University under his brother William Woodward. That same year he created an etching of the French Market in addition to prints of other locales around the city. The work offered here is dated Jan. 1, 1886 and presents a realistic, detailed view of the French Market rendered en grisaille. This grey scale tonality often indicates that an artist has created a work with the intention that it be used as an illustration. The activities and energy of the French Market certainly provided inspiration for many 19th century artists.

Located at its current site since 1790, only some of the original early 19th century structures that form the French Market remain today. Around the year 1833 several buildings, known collectively as the Red Stores, were built in the space between the Vegetable Market and the levee. With the organization of the French Market Corporation in 1932 came some redevelopment and modernization of the market, with several structures, including the Red Stores, being lost.

368. Luis Graner y Arrufi (Spanish, 1862-1929, active New Orleans c. 1914-1922), “Young Girl in a Verdant Garden”, 1911, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, 50 in. x 40 in., framed.

$15000/25000

Note: A native of Barcelona, Spain, Luis Graner y Arrufi studied art in his hometown and in Paris where he was welcomed into the art circles and remained for five years. Graner exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1895 to 1910 and won exhibition medals in Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin and Paris. Graner came to New York in 1910. He also traveled to California and spent the winters in New Orleans from 1914 to 1922. The work

offered here is dated 1911 and was likely a portrait commission. The grand scale of the painting and sensitive treatment of the sitter relate it to the work of his European contemporaries John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida. The lush verdant background with its dappled sunlight reflects the influence of the American Impressionists whose work he would have seen during these first years in the U.S. The marrying of these artistic sensibilities results in a beautifully painted composition which transcends strict portraiture.

$8000/12000

Provenance: Descended in a New Orleans family, acquired from a Royal Street, New Orleans purveyor long ago.

Note: This bedroom suite is likely part of a group of furniture made in Cincinnati and sold in New Orleans in the 1880’s. The use of walnut, the proportions, case configurations, and carved embellishments relate closely to those on a suite sold in these rooms in 1995 and illustrated in Dubrow. Styles of American Furniture, 1860-1960, p. 59; a suite stenciled “M & Co., New Orleans” and sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 973 on February 12, 2011; and a suite by Mitchell and Rammelsberg exhibited at the Cincinnati Museum of Art.

Mitchell and Rammelsburg began their partnership in 1847 and built a vast Cincinnati manufacturing complex with warerooms in St. Louis (1855), Kentucky (1862) and on Royal Street in New Orleans

(1865). Frederick Rammelsberg died in 1863, and William Mitchell bought his partner’s shares in the business. By 1888, the Rammelsberg name was dropped, and the firm continued operation until 1930.

Though produced by a large manufactory using steam powered machines, the suite offered here shows influence from the renowned programs of Arts and Crafts proponents Henry Lindley Fry, William Henry Fry, and Benn Pitman who

held woodcarving classes for women at the University of Cincinnati School of Design starting in 1873.Reference: Howe.

1206. American School, early 20th c., “McIntyre & Heath, Billy Cumsand’s Georgia Minstrels”, signed “Dryden” lower left, 68 in. x 37 1/4 in., framed.

$1000/1500

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

This painting of the well-known minstrel duo of James McIntyre (1857-1937) and Thomas Kurton Heath (1853-1938) is based on the 1916 photo by Apeda Studios (now in the New York World-Telegram and Sun Newspaper Photograph

Collection, Library of Congress). The two Vaudeville performers joined forces in 1874 and soon became famous for their black-face characters of “Alexander Hambletonian” (played by McIntyre), a slow-witted stable boy, and “Henry Jones” (played by Heath), a clever entertainer who continually outwits his companion. The duo performed for more than fifty years and their most popular sketch, The Ham Tree, was used throughout their long career.Reference: Leonard, William Torbert. Masquerade in Black.

CONDITIONS OF SALEPlacing 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 cata-logue 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 Auc-tion 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 nonpe-cuniary 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 discre-tion, 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 docu-ment 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 origi-nal 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 regard-ing 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 suc-cessful 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 pur-chase 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.
