Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you.

19 151069/1 CONRAD WISE CHAPMAN (american 1842-1910) “VALLEY OF PUEBLA” Signed in ligature, dated, and located ‘CWChapman Mexico 1898’ bottom left; also inscribed ‘Valley of Puebla from the Pyramid of Cholula, for Eustace Barron, Esq. - by C.W. Chapman’ verso, oil on board 5 3/4 x 9 1/4 in. (13.3 x 23.5cm) provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania. note: We are grateful to Dr. Ben Bassham, author of Conrad Wise Chapman: Artist & Soldier of the Confederacy (Kent, Ohio, 1998) for his assistance in researching and cataloguing this lot. According to Dr. Bassham, the painting’s subject matter, which depicts a horizontal, panoramic view of the landscape in the Valley of Mexico, is consistent with the artist’s oeuvre. The painting also includes salient stylistic treatment of figures, animals, trees, and other plants, as well as characteristic handling of atmospheric effects and brushwork techniques. The color choices are also highly typical of Chapman's pallet; the Naples yellow, burnt siennas, viridian greens, and lavenders correspond to many other paintings executed by the artist in the 1890s. Dr. Bassham notes that the inscription on the back most likely refers to the recipient of the painting, Eustace Joseph Barron, a member of the Barron Family, who settled in Mexico in the early nineteenth century from Spain, and was involved in mining and banking there. The present painting will be accompanied by his letter of research and opinion of authenticity. $12,000-18,000

96 142473/1 EDWARD WILLIS REDFIELD (american 1869-1965) “THE ROAD TO CENTRE BRIDGE” Signed ‘E.W. Redfield’ bottom left, oil on canvas 38 x 50 in. (96.5 x 127cm) provenance: The Artist. The Estate of the Artist. To the Artist's son, Laurent Redfield. By descent in the family to the Artist's great-grandson. Private Collection, Washington, DC. note: When Edward Redfield and his family settled in the charming environs of Centre Bridge, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the Delaware River in 1898, he surely could not have known that in doing so, he was laying the foundation for one of the great American Art colonies—the New Hope School. The town of Centre Bridge—the Anglicized spelling is traditional— was integral to both Redfield’s life and practice. In “The Road to Centre Bridge,” one can see the eponymous original wooden bridge in the distance. During a thunderstorm on the night of July 22, 1923, lightning struck the 112 year-old bridge causing it to
ignite. Redfield was driving home with his family when he saw the blaze in the distance. Fearing that it was his house, on fire, he sped homewards only to realize— presumably with a measure of relief—that it was, in fact, the adjacent bridge. Redfield and his family gathered together with many other spectators including his fellow artist, William Lathrop, on the river bank to witness the inferno and the firefighters’ frantic efforts to extinguish it. Redfield later remarked, “Lathrop said it was a pity it couldn’t be painted. So I took out an envelope and painted all the next day. The following day, I painted it again.” This painting, “The Fire at Centre Bridge,” believed to be one of the only ones created entirely in his studio from memory, is widely considered to be one of his best and is a highlight of the collection in the Michener Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, where it was presented as a partial gift by the Laurent Redfield family. “The Road to Centre Bridge” comes with an impeccable provenance. The painting formed part of the artist’s estate and was chosen by his son, Laurent, following a
drawing of lots within the family to determine ownership. From Laurent Redfield, the painting has descended to the artist’s great grandson, to whom it currently belongs. As one present family member pointed out, their grandmother, at one time, had paintings of “the bridge before, during, and after the fire.” Together, these works are a splendid testament to the artist’s creative powers and his love of the Centre Bridge area which he called his home. The present painting will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Edward Redfield's work, compiled by Dr. Thomas Folk. $150,000-250,000

Acquired from the above. "History House." Acquired from the above by the Artist's son and daughter-in-law, Laurent and Dorothy Redfield. By descent in the family to the Artist's great grandson, New York, New York, and great granddaughter, Phoenix, Arizona.
note: As a plein air artist—one who paints outside in the elements, rather than in the studio—Redfield soon became a familiar figure in the town of Centre Bridge and surrounding vacinity, trudging through the snow to set-up a canvas, or strapping one to a tree and energetically capturing the landscape in front of him with his vigorously bold brushwork and rich impasto. Redfield’s charismatic presence soon attracted many other artists to the area, including George Sotter, Fern Coppedge, John Folinsbee, Daniel Garber, Harry Leith-Ross, and Kenneth Nunamaker, many of whom were directly influenced either by Redfield’s work or his methods. Collectively, these artists became known as the “Pennsylvania Impressionists” and their work, Redfield’s in particular, was celebrated as the embodiment of a uniquely American vision. At the time, the noted painter and critic, Guy Pene du Bois, described it as
“our first truly national expression.” “Centre Bridge,” an evocative winter scene, depicts the current bridge which was completed in 1926 and built upon the remaining piers and abutments of the original (see Note for lot 96 regarding the original bridge). The present painting has impeccable provenance. After the artist’s death, it was acquired from “History House” by the artist’s daughter-in-law, Dorothy. It is believed that Dorothy Redfield may have bought the painting because she wanted her collection to show examples of the bridge before, during, and after the fire. The work has since descended through the family to the current owners, the artist’s great grandson and great granddaughter. The present painting will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Edward Redfield’s work, compiled by Dr. Thomas Folk. $120,000-180,000

note: According to the aforementioned Catalogue Raisonné, “Although the artist did not indicate a location for this work in his records, his son, John Franklin Garber, noted that it depicted his father’s cottage (Bitter Sweet) in Lumberville, Pennsylvania, not far from Cuttalossa. The artist first captured in a photograph the image of the tree shadow on the side of the building, composed very similarly to the completed painting. In the canvas, however, he eliminated most of the small trees behind the shed and greatly developed the opposite shore of the river. A figure was added at the wood pile, and other small additions and deletions were made as well.” (p. 160). $150,000-250,000

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. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. 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 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. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $100,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $100,001 through $2,000,000, 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 is 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. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. v1.2015
