through prestigious loans to local institutions. “We’re delighted and honored to bring the esteemed collection of Sydney F. Martin to market,” said Freeman’s chairman Alasdair Nichol. “The selection itself is remarkable, having been carefully collected by Martin and his wife, Sharon, over several decades, and reveals the couple’s deep Pennsylvania roots. It’s also an occasion to bring together the strengths for which Freeman’s is best known: sales of Pennsylvania Impressionists and single-owner collections.”

The sale is led by Edward Redfield’s “Spring Veil,” offered at an estimate of $300,000-$500,000, which represents one of the most powerful springtime scenes ever executed by Redfield. The enormous canvas depicts the Valley of Point Pleasant in full bloom. Widely exhibited, this exemplary canvas constitutes the pinnacle of Pennsylvania Impressionist collecting opportunities.

Daniel Garber’s “The Delaware River” is a newly rediscovered and fresh-tomarket landscape depicting a bend in the river near New Hope, Pa. Fern Coppedge’s “Winter from Skillman’s” offers a quintessential view of Lambertville, N.J., as seen from New Hope, one of the artist’s sought-after winter scenes. The auction also presents “A Glorious Day,” a summer Bucks County scene by Morgan Colt, a colossal talent and founding member of the New Hope School whose work remains desirable in the marketplace. The sale also features several works by John Fulton Folinsbee, including the oneof-a-kind “Golden Afternoon,” an autumnal triptych commissioned in 1920 that displays the artist’s masterful brushwork.

Alongside Martin’s esteemed Pennsylvania Impressionists collection is a selection of seven works by William B. T. Trego, a Pennsylvania painter best known for his military works.

The auction includes several American Civil War scenes.
