1 MARTIN LEWIS (american 1881-1962) “RAINY DAY, QUEENS” 1931. Edition of 70. Pencil signed in the margin, drypoint 10 5/8 x 11 7/8 in. (27 x 30.2cm) Sheet size: 13 13/16 x 15 15/16 in. (35.1 x 40.5cm) [McCarron 94] provenance: Private Collection, Massachusetts.

note: The present lot is a highly notable and distinguished print from Lewis’s oeuvre, and is one of the many scenes of New York City for which the artist is so renowned. A nostalgic look into New York’s lively past, the work presents a view of historical urban architecture as well as a vignette of the city’s inhabitants engaging in quotidian activities. The composition of the street cutting through the center of the image leads the eye into the scene, and the ephemeral and moody depiction of a rainy day coupled with Lewis’s masterful representation of light and shadow make the print atmospheric and engaging. $20,000-30,000

11 JOHN SINGER SARGENT (american 1856-1925) “STUDIES OF A SPANISH DANCER” (STUDY FOR “EL JALEO”) 1880-81. Inscribed ‘Anna Marguetti/14 Rue de Lambre(?)’ upper left, graphite on paper Sheet size: 10 3/16 x 13 3/4 in. (25.9 x 34.9cm) provenance: Ex-collection of Charles Sargeant Jagger (a gift from Emily Sargent). Private Collection, London, United Kingdom. exhibited: “Spring ‘88,” The Fine Art Society, London, May-June 1988, cat. no. 29b. literature: The Fine Art Society, Spring 1988, London: May 3-June 3, 1988, exhibition catalogue, p. 36, no. 29b. Stephanie L. Herdrich, John S. Sargent, H B. Weinberg, and Marjorie Shelley, American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art: John Singer Sargent, New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000, p. 168, fig. 69 (illustrated).

note: According to the 1988 exhibition catalogue entry prepared by the Fine Art Society in collaboration with Richard Ormond, the artist’s great-nephew and scholar of his work: The present drawing is from a series of studies that Sargent made for his later and celebrated painting, El Jaleo: Danse des gitanes, currently hanging in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. Having visited Spain in 1879 and continuing to work there in the early part of 1882, Sargent was preoccupied with themes of Spanish dance, enthralled by its music and costumes. He attended many live dance performances and sketched numerous dancers in various poses and states of movement. The sketches are quickly executed and highly intuitive, and many were used as preparations for oil paintings. He later returned to Paris and continued working on the subject, exhibiting El Jaleo at the Paris Salon of 1882. A leading portrait and figure painter of international society during the Gilded Age era, as well as an established impressionist painter of landscape and genre scenes executed en plein air, Sargent’s works are known for expressing tremendous energy. The present lot is a testament to the artist’s style, and his habitual compulsions to sketch the events happening around him as he saw them. We would like to thank the members of the John Singer Sargent Catalogue Raisonné for confirming the authenticity of this work. $25,000-40,000

12 OTTO HENRY BACHER (american 1856-1909) ALONG THE GRAND CANAL Inscribed, signed and dated ‘To my friend Miss Devereux/with my compliments from Otto H. Bacher. 1887’ bottom right; also inscribed with artist and date verso, oil on panel 13 3/16 x 18 1/16 in. (33.5 x 45.9cm) provenance: Christie’s, New York, sale of December 7, 1984, lot 114. Private Collection, Maryland.

note: Born in Ohio, Bacher studied briefly in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts but spent most of his early career studying and working in Cleveland with fellow artists Willis Seaver Adams and Frank Duveneck. He and Duveneck also travelled to Italy, first to Florence, and later to Venice where they set up studios at the Casa Jankovitz. By this time Bacher was a skilled printmaker, and began teaching Duveneck and others in his circle the process of etching and making prints. It was during this time that he became acquainted with James Abott McNeill Whistler, who began visiting his studio often. Bacher spent much of 1880 with Whistler, and the two artists shared etching techniques with each other. Whistler informed Bacher on line graduation and tone, while Bacher showed Whistler various procedures including more efficient ways of using the acid bath. Bacher continued to visit Whistler in the coming years, and in 1908 published the book “With Whistler in Venice,” his famous recollections of his time with the great artist. Bacher’s works rarely appear at auction, and the present lot is an excellent example of the paintings he executed while residing in Venice, featuring a recognized and celebrated Venetian landmark. $25,000-40,000

Ex-Collection of Stephen C. Clark (per Sylvia P. Benson’s list of watercolors records). Ex-Private Collection. F.W. Bayley & Son Copley Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts. Eldred’s, East Dennis, Massachusetts, sale of July 23, 1998, lot 319. Private Collection, Washington, D.C. exhibited: Frank Weston Benson, Gage Gallery, Cleveland, Ohio, October 2-November 1, 1922, no. 22. “Paintings: Including the Collection of the Late Charles Donnelly and the Collection of the Late William A. Slater,” American Art Association, American Art Galleries, New York, New York, November 24-30, 1928, lot 39. literature: Sylvia P. Benson., List of Frank W. Benson watercolors, no. 52. American Art Association, Paintings: Including the Collection of the Late Charles Donnelly and the Collection of the Late William A. Slater, New York: 1928, exhibition catalogue, p. 27, cat no. 39.

note: Frank Weston Benson was a highly prominent and successful American Impressionist, best known for his landscapes and scenes of nature executed en plein air, and for his elegant portraiture. His watercolors were often favorably compared to those of Winslow Homer’s, and described to convey the beauty and serenity of life in the great outdoors. Said one critic: “The love of almost primitive wilderness which appears in many of Homer’s landscapes and the swift, sure touch with which he suggests rather than describes - these also characterize Benson’s work. The solitude of the northern woods is very much like Homer’s.” The present work, a wonderful example of Benson’s love of the solitude of nature, is number 52 in Sylvia P. Benson’s list of watercolors records. Sylvia was Benson’s youngest child and his secretary. “Flooded Pines” may well have been painted in Cape Cod, and was done in only the second year of the artist’s use of watercolor as a medium. First owned by the collector Stephen C. Clark, who owned at least three of Benson’s watercolors, “Flooded Pines” was most likely purchased at the Gage Gallery exhibition of the artist’s work in 1922, which comprised of 23 oils and watercolors, along with 160 prints. We are grateful to Benson scholar, Faith Andrews Bedford, author of the biography Frank W. Benson: American Impressionist, The Sporting Art of Frank Benson, and Impressionist Summers: Frank W. Benson’s North Haven, for assistance with this essay. $10,000-15,000

Because his work was so proficiently executed and had such aesthetic and commercial appeal, his advertising accounts included Coca-Cola, Sylvania, Orange Crush, Schlitz Beer, Horlacher Brewery, General Electric, and Napa Auto Parts. Gil Elvgren’s ability to capture the spirit and sensuality of American feminine beauty was second to none, and the classic nostalgia emulating from his works harkens back to a charming, mid-century United States. $7,000-10,000 32

Possibly painted as early as 1940, “Lone Sycamore” is the last of a series by Garber depicting this particular tree, beginning with “The Sycamore” executed in March of 1925 (cat. P 505). An etching based on this painting (cat. E 56), which was never taken beyond the proof stage, was also based on a drawing made from the oil (cat. D 325). Daniel Garber is a leading figure of the Pennsylvania Impressionist group, best known and loved for his large-scale landscapes of the areas surrounding Bucks County, Pennsylvania and the Delaware River Valley. His work has garnered many awards and recognition both locally and internationally, including several gold medals from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he also came to have a celebrated career as an art educator for forty-one years. Here in the present painting, the artist’s mastered rendering of a panoramic landscape is deeply indicative of his reverence of the relationship between nature and light. $400,000-600,000

Private Collection, California. literature: Artist’s letter file, Theodore Van Soelen to Daniel Garber, c. 1935. Artist’s letter file, Hervey Allen to Daniel Garber, April 30, 1935. Lance Humphries, Daniel Garber: Catalogue Raisonné, Volume II, Hollis Taggart Galleries, 2006, p. 239, P 663, (illustrated). note: Garber painted landscapes almost exclusively throughout the 1930s and 40s. A unique work of portraiture for the time period, the present lot was commissioned from Garber, along with a companion portrait of Mrs. Hervey Allen and her daughters. The works were executed at the family’s estate on the eastern shore of Maryland. The sitter, Mr. Allen, was a successful author, most well known for his novel “Anthony Adverse” which was adapted into a film and won four Academy Awards in 1936. The artist portrays Allen at work in his study, making the estate visible behind him through the windows in the room. His treatment of light and shadow illuminates the view, but keeps the sitter in more muted light, giving the feeling of quiet contemplation. Garber seldom painted outside Pennsylvania, so this painting is a rare piece, depicting part of the Choptank river, which is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. $100,000-150,000

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

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.
