He traveled Europe, working in Switzerland and along the Mediterranean before settling in Paris where he was exhibiting successfully by 1923. His time in Switzerland, painting the snowy peaks of the Engadine, was perhaps the most influential in his career.

His ability to capture the light and vibrancy of winter landscapes was highly celebrated during his lifetime and has led to his popularity in recent decades. $80,000 - $120,000

31 Countryside Scene by Joseph Henry Sharp Joseph Henry Sharp (American/Cincinnati, 1859-1953). Oil on canvas, signed and dated illegibly (but appears to be 88?) l.r.; 55 x 37.25 in. (sight).

A countryside scene depicting a woman and a child at a farm, with chicken in the foreground, this work is probably German subject matter, loosely executed and deriving from Sharp’s time spent in Munich. While the work is rather mature in execution for Sharp, it was surely completed prior to his time spent in the American West.

This painting was gifted to the St. Anne Convent in Melbourne, Kentucky in the early 20th century. Sharp was most closely associated with Northern Kentucky. It is housed in a Museum quality gilt and gesso frame. $3,000 - $5,000 32 Family Scene, by Ernst Fischer Ernst Fischer (German, 1815-1874). Oil on canvas, housed in a gilt and gesso frame.

Note: India began to produce Persian designed pile rugs as early as the Persian Moghul Dynasty in the 1530s with the introduction of Islam into India. There were imperial workshops in Agra, Fatehpur, and Lahore (in present day Pakistan). The workshops were supervised by master Persian weavers and designers, thus giving a classical Persian look to many of the early Indian carpets. Agra carpets descend from an imperial workshop tradition that helps account for the large size of some of the production. This Agra is of unusually large dimensions; its size adds to its value, as it is difficult to find large carpets of this quality in the current market. $15,000 - $25,000 FEBRUARY 14-15, 2013 CINCINNATI, OHIO

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART

608 Large Hudson River School Landscape Attributed to Andrew Andrews Attributed to Andrew Andrews (American, active 1847-1853). A large and expansive Hudson River School painting, probably New York. Oil on canvas, signed l.r. and executed 1850s. Housed in a period style gilt and gesso frame; 36 x 47 in. (sight).

While specifics of Andrews’ life and career are elusive, it is evident by his style of landscape painting that he was influenced by the work of the Hudson River School. This influence was likely fostered by his time as a student of Jasper Francis Cropsey. This painting, with its tranquil and harmonic view of man in an expansive landscape, is characteristic of the Hudson River School style.

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART

637 Sketchbook of Indiana Artist Theodore Clement Steele April and May of 1881. The German sketchbook of Theodore Clement Steele (American/Indiana, 1847-1926). Principally depicting fellow artists and the surrounding area of Munich, a hotbed of artistic activity during the late 19th century- the Munich School of Art being a major drawing force upon American artists at the time. Fellow regional artists such as Frank Duveneck, William Merritt Chase, and Henry Farny also attended he school for study. Munich was known for a looser, modernist approach to art, and was in contrast to more conservative Mid-Western values of the time.

The sketchbook contains numerous portrait studies, presumably fellow artists. A few are identified although most are not. Other sketches consist of impressionistic landscapes depicting typical thatched roofs and town walls, and Steele was clearly developing his loose nature of painting at the time.

Dates range from April to May. Early May seemed to be a period of great activity and possibly travel as many landscape entries are recorded during the week.

A letter at the back of the sketchbook is addressed to Steele.

Most of it is illegible. The sketchbook retains its original marbled cover boards, and the paper is in fine condition, overall measuring 6 x 4 in.

An important sketchbook documenting the formative period of study of T.C. Steele.

Notes: The Sartorius family were the leading equine artists in England for several generations. Francis, son of John Sartorius, made his career painting for the aristocratic families in English racing.

A contemporary of George Stubbs, ARA, Sartorius was a prolific and popular painter. He produced more portraits of the famous race-horse “Eclipse” during the zenith of his fame than all other contemporary artists together. Equine paintings of Francis Sartorius I were included in exhibitions both at the Royal Academy and at the Society of Artists, London.

763 Portrait of African American Kentucky Derby Winner Isaac Murphy American, 19th century. Artist unknown. Oil on canvas, inscribed Lissak, l.l.; 17.5 x 21.5 in. (sight).

This painting depicts the late 19th century African American jockey Isaac Murphy aboard Lissak.

Murphy was not only the first jockey in American history to win three Kentucky Derbies, but his race victory record- 44% of all he entered- has not been broken to this day. He was known for his integrity off the track and gentle racing tactics- he rarely used a whip or spurs. Murphy passed away in 1896 at the age of 35 and his funeral was one of the largest in Lexington’s history. He later became the first jockey inducted to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. In 1967, Murphy was exhumed from his grave and, with great ceremony, reburied in Man O’ War Park. He was moved again in 1976 to the Kentucky Horse Park, a resting place more befitting his contribution to American thoroughbred racing.

Lissak was foaled in 1892 and owned by Col. Jack Chinn, prominent horse breeder and Kentucky statesman who was also the original owner of the painting. $25,000 - $35,000

The chairs remained in use in the House of Representatives until 1873 when the chamber was again refurbished.

At that time the chairs were gifted or sold to members of Congress. $10,000 - $15,000

827 Gorham Silver Presentation Pitcher from Miles Greenwood American, ca 1864. A silver presentation piece in the form of a water pitcher with attached ornaments in the form of an eagle with a shield and American flag over rifles and swords, a shield with a helmet and various weapons including a bow and arrow and swords, and a figure of Liberty with the American flag, inscribed Presented to / Stephen H Burton / by / Miles Greenwood / December 10, 1864, marked for Gorham and 490; ht. 11.5 in.

Stephen Henry Burton (1816-1885) was an ironworks owner who settled in Avondale, a prestigious nineteenth century Cincinnati neighborhood. Burton eventually became the first mayor of Avondale and an Ohio state senator, and a street and a school were named in his honor. Burton’s wife Martha suggested the name Avondale for the village, because a stream behind the Burton home reminded her of the Avon River in England. Prior to coming to Cincinnati, Burton, a native of New York, found himself in Texas during the Texas Revolution in 1835. He and his fellow troops were captured and at first were ordered to death by General Santa Anna. However, a work plan was devised to replace the execution order, and Burton escaped in disguise, returning to his native New York before relocating to Cincinnati in 1844.

In the Queen City he entered an ironworks partnership, first with a Mr. Lockwood, and then with Miles Greenwood (1807-1885), the SEE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONDITION REPORTS OF ALL LOTS AT COWANS.COM

presenter of this pitcher. Greenwood founded Eagle Ironworks in 1832, which was eventually the largest ironworks in the Midwest. During the Civil War the Ironworks was an important producer of munitions for Union trips, including iron anchors for pontoon bridges, gun-carriages, caissons, cannons, and even turrets for ironclad ships. Southern sympathizers, known as Copperheads, tried to burn down the Eagle Ironworks multiple times during the Civil War. Miles Greenwood is also known for being a co-inventor of the first and practical steam fire engines in the United States during the 1850s.

Cincinnati became the first American city to form a professional fire brigade on April 1, 1853, and Greenwood was named the first Fire Chief. Greenwood’s Eagle Ironworks manufactured the steam-powered engines which could pump water in just ten minutes, which was much faster than previous engines. Greenwood was motivated to improve firefighting after losing his factory to a fire.

Greenwood presented his long-time business partner with this pitcher on December 10, 1864. Although we do not know the specific occasion for such a gift, its patriotic embellishments hint at honoring Burton’s military service or his role in the company’s success during the Civil War. It was also in 1864 that Burton became the first mayor of the newly-incorporated Village of Avondale. $4,000 - $6,000 FEBRUARY 14-15, 2013 CINCINNATI, OHIO

849

849 Stained Glass Panel, designed by Robert H. Laessig Robert H. Laessig (American, 1913-2010). A large stained glass panel depicting a sunflower. The panel is framed in a box, and backlit.

The panel was designed by Laessig and made by Mike and Barbara Sargent. It was originally made to be a door in the Laessig’s studio in Cleveland, but was never installed. It was eventually given to the present owner by the artist; 67.75 x 37 in. $800 - $1,200 850 Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi Womens Bush Tucker Dreaming Aboriginal Dot Painting Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi (Australian, born 1967), 1989. An acrylic on canvas dot painting, telling the story of Aboriginal women looking for bush tucker or foods native to Australia. The clusters of yellow, pink, brown, and blue dots represent different types of terrain including spinafex grasses, sand, rocks, and water respectively. The black and white concentric circles in the center of the composition identify areas where yams, onions, berries, and wild figs abound, each of which is distinguished by a unique symbol. On the outside of the bush tucker sites are the C- or U-shaped devices which represent the women themselves. The I-shaped marks signify their digging sticks while the O-shaped designs refer to their wooden coolamon bowls.

The large white dots are the eggs of blue tongue lizards, two of which stand nearby. Accompanying the painting are two photos of the artist holding the finished canvas as well as a certificate from Central Australian Artifacts; 33 x 50 in. $1,000 - $1,500 851 Hawaiian Koa Wood Tray Hawaii, 20th century.

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 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 “Antique and Modern 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 “American History” and “World at War” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a premium equal to 17 ½% of the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 12 ½% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000. (c) Buyer’s Premium for “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art” , “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. (d) 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 catalogue 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 catalogue 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 On-Line 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. 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.

COWAN’S FINE AND DECORATIVE ART

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: • 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.

• 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.

• Telephone bidders must disable any caller ID or other call blocking mechanism.

• 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 Live Auctioneers (liveauctioneers.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 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. By signing the absentee bid form or placing a bid by telephone, an absentee bidder authorizes Cowan’s to charge the Purchase Price for each lot for which such bidder is the successful bidder to the credit card number provided by telephone or on the absentee bid form, unless payment in full or alternative payment instruction is received 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.
