F

reeman’s is pleased to present its first American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionist auction of the year. The sale includes works by many of this country’s most renowned and influential artists.

Among the highlights is a charming scene by N. C. Wyeth, patriarch of one of America’s most revered artistic dynasties.

Titled “After the Day’s Work,” this painting captures a blissful slice of Americana, replete with white picket fence, playful toddler, and a faithful canine companion as a happy family is reunited under the full moon of early evening. Echoing last December’s auction—Freeman’s most successful American art sale to date—all three generations of the Wyeth family are again represented, with works by Andrew and Jamie completing the triumvirate.

While the Wyeths are often associated with Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley and Maine, other regions of the United States are also well-represented. The energy and glamor of New York City are captured in several works, notably by Martin Lewis and Everett Shinn.

Sincerely,

Alasdair Nichol, Vice Chairman | Head of Department

The American West has proved fertile territory for the imagination of many artists. This auction includes several, ranging from Albert Bierstadt and Henry Farny from an earlier era, to contemporary artists Luke Frazier and Gerald Harvey.

Closer to home, Freeman’s has been for some time a market leader in the field of Pennsylvania Impressionism, and is again delighted to offer a fine group of works by preeminent members of the school such as Edward Redfield, Fern Coppedge, George Sotter and Walter Schofield. Other artists with strong ties to Philadelphia are also represented. Two impressive and monumental double portraits of a prominent Philadelphia family of the arts are rendered with great painterly brio by Cecilia Beaux, while a classic double-sided beach scene by Martha Walter is also sure to garner attention.

Wherever your interests in American art may lie, I very much hope to see you during our exhibition and look forward to being of assistance.

It is still standing today at the corner of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. The

foreground, replete with elements of modernity and urban development, shows a woman surrounded by hanging laundry, fire escapes, and multiple apartment buildings. During his lifetime and up to the present day, Lewis is recognized as a master of printing techniques, particularly his skillful portrayal of the light and dark contrast between the illuminated and the obscured. Lewis was awarded the Print Club of Philadelphia's Charles M. Lea Prize for this print in 1930, and is considered by some to be his most important and iconic work. $30,000-50,000

8 152545/1 EDWIN LORD WEEKS (american 1849-1903) MARKET SCENE, LAHORE Signed and located ‘E.L. Weeks/ Lahore’ bottom left, oil on canvas 19 x 13 in. (48.3 x 33cm) provenance: Private Collection, Pennsylvania. exhibited: “Empire of India Exhibition”, Earl’s Court, London S.W., 1895, no. 12, (As “A Street in Lahore, with houses of carved wood and the Dome of the Golden Mosque”). literature: Empire of India Exhibition, 1895.

Catalogue and Description of Paintings and Studies of Indian Life, by Mr. E. L. Weeks, no. 12.

Edwin Lord Weeks, From the Black Sea through Persia and India, London and New York: 1895, pp. 178-181 and p. 183 (a similar street view in Lahore appears on p. 163, labeled “A Lahore Street-Morning”). note: Weeks entered Lahore, at the time in the Punjab of greater India in December of 1892 or January 1893, after traveling through Persia in the summer and fall of 1892. This was his third and last expedition into India, since 1882-83 and 1887, and his first experience of the city of Lahore (now in Pakistan). In his book, From the Black Sea through Persia and India, Weeks noted, “There are two domed edifices which may have been tombs or fountains, but which now shelter

various rude thatched awnings projecting from their eaves.” (pp. 178-179). Weeks renders these in glistening sunlight, being so adept at sunshine and shadow.

Of special note are the carved wooden superstructures above the shop fronts lining the street. Of these he wrote: “[I]n its display of carved and weather-beaten wood-work, of balconies and jutting windows, each house exhibiting the individual taste and fancy of its designer, it is probably unequaled in any city of the East.” (p. 180) “[The] wealth of old woodwork becomes fairly prodigal; the side streets ... give one the impression that each house-holder has vied to outdo his neighbor in throwing out these crowded ranks of beautiful windows, and in covering every inch of wall with decoration...” (p. 181) “Beyond the group of gilded domes...The Jumma Musjid, or Great Mosque rises beyond an open desert space near the end of this street.” (p. 183) This sunny painting was executed on site and, coincident with Weeks’ descriptions, features an above eyelevel view of the row of elaborately carved wooden windows and balconies rising above the roofs of the street-level shops of various kinds, the street itself densely packed with tradesmen coming and going. These figures, as with the two men in the foreground, have heads wrapped in a heavy regional

turban of cotton and wear a dhoti (underlying white cotton tunic and pants), with overcoats of white and yellow cloth, or entire white clothing as with the two figures marching down the street on the extreme left.

As indicated in his section on Lahore, Weeks gives us a view of the golden domes of the mosque seen arising from the rooftops. But the focus of the painting is clearly seen in his rendering of the detailed fanciful ornamented, paneled and bracketed woodwork of the houses lining the street, jutting forth at different depths. This woodwork fascinated Weeks in Lahore and Ahmedabad (farther south). In another in situ painting of Lahore shown at the Empire of India Exhibition, the woodwork is also painted and seen with nautch girls peering from overhead from the balconies. But the present painting is a finely detailed rendering of the architecture and commerce of a Lahore street. Weeks greatly relied on these in situ works for backdrops to some of his major paintings, executed in his Paris studio during the 1890s upon his return from India.

The present lot will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity by Dr. Ellen K. Morris. This painting will also be included by Dr. Morris in the Catalogue Raisonné. We thank Dr. Morris for researching and writing the preceding catalogue entry. $40,000-60,000

27 160042/1 ROBERT HENRI (american 1865-1929) “MANOLITA MAREQUIS” Signed and dated ‘Robert Henri 1908’ bottom left; also inscribed with title bottom right; and inscribed with artist, title, date and location ‘Madrid’ verso, oil on canvas 31 7/8 x 26 1/4 in. (81 x 66.7cm) provenance: Private Collection, California. note: Robert Henri is best known as the most prominent and celebrated member of the Ashcan School, whose artists differentiated themselves from the American Impressionists by focusing on urban realism. Rather than depicting idyllic landscapes in bright colors, Henri and other Ashcan artists such as John Sloan, Everett Shinn, William Glackens and George Luks espoused the notion of creating “art for life’s sake” rather than “art for art’s sake”. This meant portraying urban people and settings, particularly New York’s streets, restaurants, theatres, and lower class neighborhoods, often using gestural brushstrokes in a predominately dark color palette.

Henri frequently traveled to Spain, particularly between 1900 and 1926.

During that time he painted a large and significant amount of works depicting Spanish people and their everyday life. Henri’s portraits present a dynamic and diverse range of the country’s society and include such figures as dancers, street performers, bullfighters, peasants and gypsies, skillfully capturing the spirit and essence of each individual.

In 2014 Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia organized a travelling exhibition of Henri’s work entitled “Spanish Sojourns: Robert Henri and the Spirit of Spain”. Before this exhibition, many of the works from his Spanish oeuvre were lesser known than his others, primarily because so many are owned privately, or were acquired by museums soon after they were made.

“Manolita Marequis” is an excellent example of a privately owned work that embodies Henri’s fascination with Spanish subjects, including dancers. Her striking red and black floral dress and vivid rose in her hair are matched only by her commanding expression. An exotic beauty, her bold features immediately demand the viewer’s attention and the dark background and animated brushstrokes add to the painting’s appeal. $120,000-180,000

(51.1 x 102.2cm) provenance: Property of the Ira Greenhill Revocable Trust. exhibited: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York, n.d. note: Born in Brooklyn, New York, Pène du Bois studied under William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art, and later trained under realist artists Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller. Throughout his career he worked as an illustrator, editor, and critic for publications such as the New York American and Arts and Decoration magazine. He exhibited his work frequently and also became a teacher for both the Art Students League in New York City, and later in Stonington, Connecticut, where he founded an art school of his own.

Pène du Bois is most well known for his clever and often sardonic depictions of New York society, developing his quintessential stylized figures which

highlight pretentiousness and duplicity behind many human encounters.

Famed art collector and art critic Duncan Phillips praised him as “an irrepressible mocker of human absurdity and a clever satirist of types familiar to our modern world.” Phillips also admired Pène du Bois’s keen sense of color and “flair for good painting,” referring to the artist as “a remarkably able draughtsman [...] There is a clearness and a resonance in his pinks, blues, scarlets, and blacks.” The aforementioned color palette and stylized figures are prominent in the present lot, which shows a number of various social interactions occurring as small vignettes throughout the composition. Of particular note is the woman in pink-the only female in the painting-on whom most of the color is concentrated, and who immediately draws the eye through her appearance of isolation and contemplation. Each encounter seems to be a separate engagement unto itself. The title, "Locked Jury", indicates a sense of disagreement and stalemate; the dark, almost smoky appearance of the room adds to the somber, yet intense sentiment exuding from the canvas. $40,000-60,000

Private Collection, Virginia.

note: Henry François Farny was particularly well-known for depicting Native American life in the nineteenth century. President Theodore Roosevelt was a great admirer, and once stated to Farny: “The Nation owes you a great debt.

It does not realize now, but it will someday. You are preserving phases of American history that rapidly are passing away.”

Born in Alsace, France, Farny immigrated to the United States at the age of six, settling in Warren,

Pennsylvania, close to a Seneca reservation. His friendly relationship with the Seneca tribe had a deep impact and marked the beginning of his fascination with Native American life.

As demonstrated in “Moving Camp”, Farny is recognized for his skilled use of color and compositions drenched in daylight; the asymmetrical arrangement is characteristic of his finest work.

Farny’s oeuvre conveys his nostalgia and desire to preserve the details of the quickly vanishing tribes he

came to know. Yet, he depicts his subject matter without any explicit dramatization or romanticism, choosing candid scenes of figures in a natural, open landscape. $50,000-80,000

exhibited: “Martha Walter: American Impressionist (1875-1976)”, David David Gallery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 2December 3, 1977. literature: Antiques Magazine, November, 1977, (illustrated). note: This exceptional double-sided painting provides two excellent examples of Martha Walter’s quintessential beach scenes, both rendered in her impressionistic style and vivid palette. The vertical orientation of “Under the Boardwalk” is particularly rare, as Walter executed the majority of her landscape compositions in

horizontal format. Both images feature the artist’s characteristic figures at leisure, as mothers and rosy-cheeked children relax on blankets, their parasols blocking the bright sun. The figures in the foregrounds of both paintings wear recognizable fashions of the period; the compositions convey movement and life. Walter painted the background figures, particularly in the horizontal work, in a swift, gestural manner that adds vitality.

A student of William Merritt Chase at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Walter went on to study at the renowned Académie Julian in Paris, established her own Paris studio and continued to travel and paint passionately for

many decades. She received many awards throughout her career and lived to more than 100. Her work has hung in the permanent collections of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. At the time of her death, Walter was internationally acclaimed and respected, and her work continues to increase in popularity and value in today’s art market. $60,000-100,000

By descent in the family to his son.

By descent in the family.

Private Collection, Arizona. note: Edward Redfield and his family moved to the Belle Island Farm in Centre Bridge in 1898, after which the surrounding landscape became the artist's most frequently depicted subject for the remainder of his career. Redfield maintained a studio in Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania, which is located close to the Delaware River, off River Road, just north of the artist's home in Centre Bridge. He executed numerous scenes of Point Pleasant, particularly during the spring months, between 1920 and 1930. His familiarity with the landscape, paired with his en-plein-air execution of the paintings, provide an impressionistic, yet truthful, depiction of his beloved environs. These scenes, including the present lot, abound with brightness and life; the vivid, luminous colors of spring cover the canvas and invite the viewer into the scene. “House in Point Pleasant” boasts an impeccable provenance, passing directly from the artist through his family to the present owner.

The present painting will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Redfield’s work compiled by Dr. Thomas Folk. $60,000-100,000

v3.2016

Terms & Conditions All property offered and sold (“property”) through Samuel T. Freeman & Co, (“Freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor.

2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale.

3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property.

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 $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, 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. v2.2016
