(sight) This work is modeled after the 1739 engraving, A View of ye Great Clock in St. Mark’s Place at Venice, published by Joseph Baudin (English, 1691-1753), who also oversaw its design and production. Baudin is known as an “imitator” of Canaletto, the great Italian landscapist, and produced numerous views of Venice in this manner. The work presented here is a skilled example, likely by the imitator Baudin, though it could also be derived from the engraving, which would have been distributed to some extent. A family collection inscribed label exists on verso, reading: Possibly a Capriccio, painted to sell to the British. Property from the Mary Alice Geier Turner Estate, Cincinnati, OH $2,000 - $4,000

12 William Adolphe Bouguereau (French, 1825-1905) Rayon de Soleil (Sunbeam) oil on canvas signed and dated 1899 l.l. with Makielski Art Shop labels (loose) housed in a gilt gesso frame 48.5 x 28.75 in. (sight) 61 x 38.5 in. (frame size) Property descended in the family of Charles Gerald Conn, Elkhart, IN $300,000 - $500,000
William Adolphe Bouguereau is regarded as the foremost representative of French academic art during the second half of the 19th century. He was a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and exhibited his work at the Salon for most of his life. This portrait is an exceptional example of Bouguereau’s work, showing unflinching attention to detail, and demonstrating lofty level 5 of technicality. While often described as a member of the Realist movement, Bouguereau in fact contributed to the development of a particular strand of realism combining the official style of the Academy, where classical themes and techniques tended to prevail, with a more socially concerned, relatively recent, form of artistic expression. Sunbeam is a superb illustration of this merging of meticulous composition and social commentary. The subject’s appearance – her bare feet, loosely tied hair, and relaxed posture – denote her modest origins, while the natural scenery, neoclassical banister and jardinière, all rendered in precise detail, suggest a deep commitment to a more academic mode of representation. Sunbeam was completed in the spring of 1899 at the apex of the artist’s career. The painting was accomplished in Menton in the south of France, where Bouguereau had accompanied his son for a curative retreat. During his sojourn, the artist set up a makeshift studio at the Hôtel des Îles Britanniques where he completed six portraits of “a few little models,” including the young girl featured in Sunbeam.

Provenance and ownership history Sold by Bouguereau to Tooth & Sons (London), for 15,000F, according to a payment letter dated October 23rd, 1899. Sold to Knoedler (New York), July 1899, stockbook no. 8824§ Sold to Moulton & Ricketts (Chicago), July 1909 Sold to Charles Gerald Conn of Elkhart, Indiana, between July, 1909 and July, 1910, and thence by descent in the family to the present owner. According to a typed inventory from Charles Gerald Conn’s personal papers listing all of the paintings that he owned as of July 6th, 1910, he purchased Sunbeam from Moulton and Ricketts for $6,500 sometime between July, 1909 and July 6, 1910. Sunbeam (referred to as “Little Ray of Sunshine” in the inventory) is at the top of the list of works purchased from Moulton and Ricketts, among other masterpieces of Western art including paintings by Eugène Verboeckhoven, Adolphe Schreyer, Jules Breton, and others. This inventory is complemented by two undated transcripts of appraisals from Moulton and Ricketts for Mr. Conn, according to which the value of Sunbeam was estimated at $4,500. Based on Conn’s records, the painting has remained in his family since. Conn was the founder of the C. G. Conn Band Instrument Company, which by the early 20th century was the largest manufacturer of brass and woodwind instruments in the world. Conn also distinguished himself as a politician, first serving as the mayor of Elkhart, Indiana, from 1880 to 1883, then as a member of the Indiana State House of Representatives in the late 1880s-early 1890s, before being elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-third Congress from 1893 to 1895. He is also known for establishing the Elkhart Daily Truth in 1890. The painting is accompanied by the aforementioned documents as well as several letters and additional inventories, which confirm the breadth and quality of Conn’s personal art collection. The letters notably include extensive correspondence between Katherine Conn, C. G. Conn’s wife, and Bohumir Kryl, the wellknown Chicago-based Czech cornetist who doubled as an art collector, regarding payments owed to the Conns for several paintings that Kryl purchased from them.

21 Ivan Fedorovitch Choultsé (Russian, 1877-1932) Winter Scene with Stream oil on canvas signed l.l. framed 20.5 x 25 in. (sight) During the early 1930s, Russian artist Ivan Choultsé’s work began to achieve some widespread fame. In 1932, John Levy Gallery in NY held an exhibition of the artist’s work. In addition, a group of Choultsé’s “snow paintings” were shown at Closson’s Gallery in Cincinnati, OH the same year. This work was purportedly bought in Chicago in 1931 and gifted to Mrs. Adelaide Edwards-Farny, who coincidentally was a descendant of the famous Henry Farny (1847-1916), master landscape painter of the American West. A wedding gift to Adelaide (Edwards-Farny) and Andrew H. Withrow in 1932 By descent in the family $30,000 - $50,000

(sight) Accompanied by a provenance, exhibition, and condition letter, affixed to back of frame, by Paul G. North, Jr. George Winter is known for his depictions of the Midwestern frontier, specifically of Indiana, where he settled in 1837 after living in Cincinnati, Ohio, for two years. Winter’s intentions were not merely artistic; his depictions of Indian scenes were meant to document the plight of the scorned and displaced Native populations. This painting, a subtly rendered river landscape at sunset, depicts an encampment of Native Americans on the banks of the Wabash

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART
River near Logansport, in Central Indiana. John Tipton (1786-1839) was a US General and Senator, remembered for his participation in the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 and his role in the Potawami Trail of Death, a displacement campaign which caused the forced migration of the Potawami people from their native Indiana to reservations in Kansas. Winter was deeply moved by the displacement of Native American populations, and this painting, showing a lone tent camp at the end of day serves as metaphor for their removal. Exhibited at the John Herron Art Institute, Indianapolis, Indiana (now part of the Indiana Museum of Art), in a show titled George Winter: Pioneer Artist of Indiana, November 5-December 10, 1939.

Edmund Osthaus was the premier illustrator for the DuPont Company, and all of his subjects depicted pointers or setters engaged in the hunt, usually the DuPont family’s Champion hunting dogs. This painting, exceedingly large for the artist, is exceptional because the artist seldom depicted as many as eight dogs in a single action scene. For that reason, it stands out as one of Osthaus’ most impressive works. $30,000 - $50,000

This method consists of burning, scraping and carving the wood’s surface to create dynamic tones and textures. Bradstreet, a Japanese art enthusiast, combined those techniques and sensibilities with the design and production philosophies of the English Arts and Crafts movement to make a truly innovative contribution to early 20th century American decorative arts.

Terms and Conditions By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Cowan’s Auctions, Inc. (“Cowan’s”), bidders (whether present in person, by telephone, by agent, by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live internet connection) agree to be bound by these terms. These are the complete and only terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Cowan’s retains the right to bar any bidder from participating in any auction and to exclude or reject any bid. 1) REGISTRATION. All bidders must register their name, permanent street address (no P.O. Boxes), and telephone number prior to the auction. Unless known to Cowan’s, all registrants are required to present two forms of identification, at least one of which must include a current photograph. Bidders may be required to present a valid Visa or MasterCard. By registering with Cowan’s or submitting an absentee bid form, an individual registrant authorizes Cowan’s to obtain a copy of his or her consumer credit report and authorizes Cowan’s, at its sole discretion, to use the information contained therein to make business decisions regarding the registrant’s participation in the bidding process. 2) ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS. Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the bidder’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All bidders submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Hamilton County in the State of Ohio. 3) TERMS OF SALE. Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold. 4) BUYER’S PREMIUM. (a) Buyer’s Premium for “Firearms” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 15% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (b) Buyer’s Premium for “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art”, “American History”, “Fine Jewelry and Timepieces” and any other specialized auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 20% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 15% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (c) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary. 5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES. Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the seller of the lot and Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate. 6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS. Cowan’s makes a limited warranty only to the original buyer of record concerning the authenticity of each lot for a period of 14 days after bidder’s receipt of the purchased lot. If a buyer is not satisfied that the lot purchased is genuine, the buyer may, at his or her own expense, obtain the opinion of two mutually agreed upon recognized experts in the field of the disputed lot. If these experts determine that the item is not genuine, the buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid for the item. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of the sale and refund is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law or in equity, and such remedy is conditioned upon the buyer returning the property in the same condition as at the time of sale. Cowan’s shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds except as provided in this limited warranty. Except as provided in the immediately proceeding paragraph, EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the seller as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalog or other description of the property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights. Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalog descriptions may be approximate. 7) DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORSHIP. “By” or “Maker/Artist” — in our opinion, the work is by the artist or maker stated “Attributed to” — in our opinion, the work is probably, but not definitely, by the artist or maker stated “Signed” or “Marked” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is that of the stated artist or maker “Bearing the signature (or mark) of” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is probably, but not definitely, that of the artist or maker stated “Circle of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and by an artist or maker closely associated with the stated artist or maker “School of” — in our opinion, the work is by a pupil or follower of the stated artist or maker “Manner of” — in our opinion, the work is of the period and done in the style of the stated artist or maker “After” — in our opinion, the work is a copy of a work by the stated artist or maker 8) INSPECTION. Except for Online-Only Auctions, all lots are available for inspection prior to the auction. Condition reports for most items can be found online at Cowan’s website, www.cowans.com, and prospective bidders are encouraged to contact Cowan’s directly for additional information regarding the condition of any lot. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are encouraged to contact Cowan’s and, to the best of our ability, we will document for the prospective bidder the condition status on any lot. Condition is always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold by Cowan’s. ABSENTEE, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET BIDDING Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a free service to our customers and prospective bidders. Cowan’s shall not be responsible for any errors or failures in executing bids, either absentee, telephone or via the internet. 9) ABSENTEE BIDDING. Absentee bids are accepted via mail, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed to Cowan’s need to be in the office at least 2 hours before the sale begins. An absentee bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with Cowan’s a fee equaling 30% of the absentee bid. All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee bidder only if necessary. Cowan’s does not accept “buy bids,” or absentee bids which have no limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee bidder, the floor bid will be honored. 134

10) TELEPHONE BIDDING. Bidding live via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis for those lots with a low estimate of $500 or greater. In order for Cowan’s to efficiently serve the needs of those who wish to bid by phone, please note the following: (a) To participate in the auction by telephone, potential bidders must complete and sign the absentee bid form and check “I WISH TO BID BY TELEPHONE” for the designated lots. Potential bidders may also reserve a phone line on Cowan’s website. If faxing or emailing requests for phone bidding, they need to be in Cowan’s office 2 hours before the sale begins. Once the auction begins, requests left on Cowan’s website may not be retrieved by the staff. (b) Telephone bidders are advised to indicate an “insurance bid”, which amount will become an absentee bid, pursuant to the absentee bidding process set forth above, if Cowan’s can not reach the bidder by telephone for a particular indicated lot. (c) Telephone bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism. (d) Cowan’s sells about 100 lots per hour, so telephone bidders should plan accordingly. Cowan’s will attempt to reach each telephone bidder, but Cowan’s is in no way responsible for missed calls. 11) INTERNET BIDDING. Internet bidding is available through our website; additionally, Cowan’s may post certain auctions on Bidsquare (bidsquare.com) or Proxibid (proxibid.com). There may be terms which apply solely to internet bids that should be reviewed online at the time of sale. Cowan’s is not responsible for any failure to execute a bid and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with an internet auction. 12) BIDDING INCREMENTS. The following increments are used at the auction. Absentee bids must fall within these increments. Cowan’s will automatically reduce any absentee bid to the closest increment if the bid falls outside the published range of increments. For Bids Falling Between Bidding Increment $0-500 $25 $501-1,000 $50 $1,001-3,000 $100 $3,001-5,000 $250 $5,001 and up $500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction. AFTER THE AUCTION 13) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition. 14) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. The discounted “Purchase Price” for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Payment may be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card. Cowan’s reserves the right to hold a purchased lot until a check has cleared. A convenience fee of $15.00 will be assessed to all transactions made in the alternate payment channels: Phone payments are made available as a convenience outside Cowan’s Auctions customary payment channels, therefore these payments are qualified as payments made in the alternative payment channel. All forms of payment made using this method will be assessed the convenience fee. Please call Cowan’s Auctions if you have any questions regarding this policy. PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 2% will be assessed to all credit card transactions. This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance. Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone, by internet, or who are absentee bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full. Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction. Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30 days. Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law. 15) SALES TAX. Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax. 16) SHIPPING. At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property. ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm. Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied. 17) SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial. 18) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 21 days after the auction date, a $10 per item per day storage fee may be charged to the buyer. 19) CANCELLATION OF SALE. If purchased property remains in the custody of Cowan’s for a period of 60 days following the auction, Cowan’s may, at its option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available to Cowan’s. Copyright © 2016 Cowan’s Auctions
