(37.5 x 68.6cm) provenance: The Collection of Rudolph J. Schaefer, New York. To his son, William M. Schaefer, New York. literature: Schaefer, Rudolph, J. E. Buttersworth, 19th-Century Marine Painter, Mystic Seaport, Inc., Connecticut, 1975, p. 96, no. 71 (illus.) note: “This scene shows part of the fleet that competed in that historic race around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851. America, the only American entry against 14 British boats, won the trophy which was to become the famous America’s Cup. In the painting above, America appears in the right middleground leading the pack. The Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert stands off in the distant right background with Queen Victoria aboard together with her Prince Consort, Albert, and the Royal party watching the event. Several of the British cutters which participated looked very much alike and, lacking any special identification marks, it is impossible to tell which of the group these are.” [Schaefer 96]. Typical of Buttersworth’s ouevre, “The Royal Yacht Squadron Cup Race, 1851” documents an event on the sea in stunning detail. As the son of a marine painter, J.E. Buttersworth more than carried on the family legacy of the subject - he became synonymous with it. Few nineteenth century marine artists were as prolific as Buttersworth, and none excelled like he at capturing a racing scene with such deftness that he transcended mere documentation. $50,000-80,000

Considered the first wildlife painter in America, Carl Rungius (18691959) was both a sportsman and an artist who depicted animals in their natural environs. A native of Rixdorf, Germany – now present-day Berlin – he had a keen interest in nature and art from an early age, particularly that of the American West. Its vast, uncharted territory would present Rungius with greater opportunities to both hunt and paint, and a fortuitous invitation from his uncle to travel to America was pivotal in shaping his career. Eventually becoming a prolific and celebrated artist, much in the tradition of the Hudson River painters who preceded him, he glorified the American landscape. Rungius also became a champion of the conservation movement, and was pitted against the forces of late 19th-century Western expansionism. After immigrating to the Unites States in 1896, Rungius maintained a New York studio while he travelled extensively throughout Yellowstone, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska and the Yukon, eventually establishing a summer studio in Banff, Alberta in 1922, known as ‘The Paintbox’. Following in the tradition of the plein-air painters of the 19th and 20th-centuries, Rungius dutifully studied and recorded his subjects,

revealing not only a great love and respect for nature and its inhabitants, but a concern for depicting animals and landscapes with fidelity. As such, it is not surprising that he enjoyed a successful career as an illustrator of books, magazines and other material promoting conservation and the support of endangered animals. Rungius was not alone in his portrayal of animals; a century earlier, sporting artists of Britain achieved notoriety in painting equine-themed subjects, including thoroughbreds and racehorses. However, in such pictures, while the animals are portrayed realistically and in a dignified manner, they are rarely depicted in their natural environments. Instead, whether with a jockey up or with a groom, to name but two common themes of the period, the horses’ identities and importance are both inseparable from, and justified by, the existence of sportsmen in full racing/hunting regalia. In 19th-century Britain, and to a lesser extent parts of the Continent, the worth of an animal is directly tied to its owner, with the latter viewing the former almost strictly as an instrument providing commerce and social standing. Rungius, along with many wildlife painters he would later influence,

very rarely included humans in his paintings, for to do so would be wholly antithetical to his idyllic depictions, unspoiled by humans and their encroachment on nature. We are pleased to offer this Rungius painting depicting a stately grizzly bear. Immortalized on canvas, this impressive creature joins his many other works of moose, big horn sheep, caribou, mountain goats, pack horses, and antelope, all capturing the spirit and beauty of magnificent animals in the precious natural and threatened world they inhabit.

Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.

8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale.

In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and

will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.

Premium shall be: 25% on the first $50,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $50,001 through $1,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid.
