A
s any collector will tell you, they are but temporary caretakers of the objects they acquire.
Running a successful family business is very similar; you hope you are a competent custodian and can hand it over to the next generation in better shape than you found it. When Bob Eldred, Sr. founded Eldred’s in 1947, he likely was not thinking about what his auction house would look like 75 years later, but we hope we have served his legacy well and it will continue long after our stewardship is complete. Looking back at our long history, it is amazing to see how much the business has transformed since its humble beginnings. In the early years, auctions were a simple affair, advertised “To be held under canvas, rain or shine” and featuring mostly estate merchandise collected from the Cape and southeastern Massachusetts. In the 1960s, Eldred’s handled the McGrath Collection of Asian Art, which launched our transition from an estate auctioneer into a house with discrete and specialized departments. Dedicated Marine Art, Painting, Americana and Sporing Art sales soon followed, and the seeds for the modern-day Eldred’s were sowed. At Eldred’s, we have strived to adapt with the times while staying true to our roots. We were quick to embrace modern technologies including digital photography and Internet bidding, trying to lead the market rather than follow. At the same time, we still believe in printed catalogs, in-person exhibitions and auctions, and personal service. We want to know our customers on a personal level and help foster their lifetime of collecting. After all, it is you, the customer, who has allowed Eldred’s to thrive for these 75 years. We want to express a huge thank you to all the people who have made Eldred’s what it is today. On behalf of the Eldred family and our dedicated staff who share our passion for what we do, we thank you all for a wonderful 75 years! And we look forward to what the next 75 years bring. Josh Eldred, Mary Ann Eldred and Sarah Eldred Taylor

ELLA EMORY Hingham, Massachusetts, 19th Century
167
This is the companion painting to one illustrated in Little By Little: Six Decades of Collecting American Decorative Arts by Nina Fletcher Little (E.P. Dutton, Inc., 1984). Pieces in the Little collection were purchased from Matthew Cushing in 1957 when Fletcher Little visited the Cushing homestead. Cushing kept this painting because it had the two family cats, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, in the picture. “In 1878, the child Alice Cushing, accompanied by her mother and her Aunt Ella Emory, went to spend the summer in the Peter Cushing house in Hingham, Massachusetts. Aunt Ella was an amateur artist and occupied herself by painting the interiors of four of the rooms as they appeared during her visit. Built about 1678, the house was refurbished during the mid-eighteenth century. At the time the pictures were painted, the majority of the furnishings dated back to the eighteenth century, although a few Victorian pieces had begun to creep in. All these features were duly observed and carefully recorded by Ella Emory, and her canvases are not only charming examples of their period but also visual documents recording the changes in life-style that took place in the life of one family over a span of two hundred years.”

THOMAS WILMER DEWING New York/New Hampshire, 1851-1938
Thomas Dewing is best known for artful, dream-like portraits of refined women executed in a Tonalist palette. He worked at a time when Impressionism gained dominance in the art world and was then surpassed by Modernism. Dewing was born in Boston to prominent land- and millowning families. Thomas expressed an early interest in the arts; he was fond of drawing and literature, played violin and had ambitions of becoming a stage performer. His father, however, was a drunk, and led the family into a steady financial and social decline before he died in 1863, at which time Thomas was apprenticed to a lithographer. In the early 1870s Dewing studied informally in Boston and became known for excellent figural chalk drawings. In 1876 he moved to Paris and studied at the Academie Julian, where he learned anatomical drawing with live models. He returned to New York, then Boston, in 1877/1878, showing small academic nudes, which gained him attention from artists R. Swain Gifford and George Fuller, who encouraged Dewing to show in New York.

“The South Wind”. Titled upper right. Signed and dated lower left “T.W. Dewing 1878”. Includes the two-volume Thomas Wilmer Dewing Beauty into Art: A Catalog Raisonne by Susan A. Hobbs, et al. (2018). Oil on canvas, 58” x 36”. Framed 63” x 41.5”. 120,000/180,000 Provenance: Peter W. French, Boston, possibly purchased from the artist. George Dresser, East Weymouth, Massachusetts, by the 1930s, purchased from French as part of the contents of French’s house. Descended in the Dresser family, Windsor, Connecticut. Private Collection, Kentucky. Literature: For a discussion of this work, see Thomas Wilmer Dewing Beauty into Art: A Catalog Raisonne by Susan A. Hobbs with Shoshanna Abeles (2018), p. 87-89. Illustrated in color p. 89, plate 6.

Shortly after moving to New York in 1880, Dewing met and married Maria Oakey, an accomplished painter with extensive formal training and connections within the art world. He was an instructor at the Arts Students League until 1888, and he was elected to the National Academy of Design and won a medal at the Paris Exposition in the late 1880s. Starting in 1885, he and Maria summered at the art colony in Cornish, New Hampshire, and in 1898, he became a member of the Ten American Painters, a group that included Childe Hassam and J. Alden Weir, though Dewing stood out from the others because he was not an Impressionist. Dewing is best known as a Tonalist, an American genre rooted in “art for art’s sake” English Aestheticism. In her catalog raisonne, Susan Hobbs posits that the classically draped women in works by Edward Burne-Jones and the 1877 opening of the Grosvenor Gallery in London may have been the inspiration for Dewing’s monumentally scaled “South Wind”, an elongated floating woman plucking at the mullein plant. The concept may also have been derived from engravings after the painting “Aurora” by Jean-Louis Hamon. Hobbs writes that “South Wind” was likely intended as an architectural feature in a private home, and it is unique for the artist in its life-size proportions and gold leaf ground. Dewing showed the work at Doll & Richards Gallery in Boston, where critical response was positive and patrons appreciated his ability to produce something imaginative that wasn’t in the French academic style.

Founder of the Rockport Art Association, William Lester Stevens was born and raised in Rockport, on the North Shore of Massachusetts. He began studying painting as a young child and had exhibited his first piece at the National Academy of Design by age 18. Following four years at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School, Stevens launched an active painting career, but it was interrupted by a tour of duty in World War I. He didn’t begin exhibiting again until 1921, at which time he and 50 other artists established the Rockport Art Association. Rockport had become a haven for artists, including Childe Hassam, Leon Kroll and Jonas Lie, and the group wanted to make art more accessible to a greater population.

Looking over the harbor, possibly Rockport, Massachusetts. Signed lower right “W. Lester Stevens N.A.”. Oil on canvas, 25” x 30”. Framed 28.5” x 33.5”. 8,000/12,000
Stevens taught in Rockport, as well as at Boston University, Princeton and in North Carolina. By 1964 had won more awards than any other living artist. Because of its growing popularity as a busy tourist spot, Stevens moved away from Rockport in 1934 to western Massachusetts. He painted until nearly the day he died.

James H. Cromartie pioneered “Hard-Edge Realism”, an evolution from Andrew Wyeth’s “Magic Realism”. In comparing his works to a photograph of the same scene, Cromartie says his “lighting is better than real life. My composition is better than real life. … My paintings have emotion and feeling” that cannot be conveyed in a photograph. Cromartie was born into one of North Carolina’s most prominent families and he has lived on Nantucket since the 1960s. Nelson Rockefeller and Roger Firestone were early patrons of his work, and he has done commissioned works for the Smithsonian, the U.S. Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court.

Advice to Bidders
A.
1. Carefully read the Conditions of Sale.
B.
C.
LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, this is a work by the artist. ATTRIBUTED TO LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, probably a work by the artist based on the style of the piece, however, the work lacks a signature, marking or adequate provenance to fully ascribe it. MANNER OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED Massachusetts, 1848-1921 In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, most likely by a follower or student.
D. SCHOOL OF LEMUEL D. ELDRED
Late 19th Century In our opinion, a work executed at the time and in the style of the artist listed.
E.
AFTER LEMUEL D. ELDRED 20th Century In our opinion, a work made in the style of the artist listed, but not by the artist. Often used to describe a direct reproduction of an original work of art.
Ascribing Date of Origin If a date and location are included in a heading, it is our opinion the piece is essentially of the period and was made in the area indicated. The inclusion of the world “style” in the heading indicates the piece was made at a later date as an intentional reproduction of the earlier style.

6. At the conclusion of the sale you will be notified if you were the successful bidder. All invoices must be paid in full within ten (10) days of the close of the auction. We accept checks, cash, money orders, wire transfers and major credit cards for payment. Credit cards can only be used for up to $5,000 of the invoice total and the card must have a U.S. billing address. We reserve the right to hold goods until payment has cleared.
3. Please submit your bids in a timely manner, to avoid the chance of posting error. We request all bids be received by 3 p.m. the day before the auction. In the event of identical Absentee bids, the earliest received takes precedence.
7. All purchases are subject to state and local sales tax unless you possess a Massachusetts or out-of-state sales tax exemption or resale number and register that number with us.
4. A 10% deposit is required. If you are successful, the amount of your deposit will be applied toward your invoice. If you are not successful, the full amount will be returned promptly to you.
The Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. offers this service as a convenience to its clients and will not be held responsible for errors or failure to execute bids.
1. Clearly print the lot number, the item description and the highest amount you are willing to pay. Please follow our standard bidding increments.
