exhibited: Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York, New York, 1964, no. 1 (exhibited as “Old Chelsea, London, England”). literature: Apollo, no. 79, May 1964 (illustrated as “Old Chelsea, London, England”). note: Previously entitled “Old Chelsea,” and described as a London scene, this watercolor is now identified as a scene depicting a view of Columbus Avenue in Boston. In 1885-1886, Hassam embraced the street life of Boston, painting many views of the cityscape. Both in rain and snow, he experimented with the tonal and luminous effects of precipitation. The present work shows a view of Columbus Avenue, looking northeast from a vantage point not far from Hassam’s home in the Albermarle Hotel at 282 Columbus Avenue, near the intersection of Clarendon. The visible landmark in the distance is the tower of the Boston and Providence Railroad station built in 1871, located at Park Square. This watercolor is related to other Boston subjects including the painting “Columbus Avenue, Rainy Day,” now in the collection of the Worcester Art Museum, Massachusetts. This lot will be included in Stuart P. Feld and Kathleen M. Burnside’s forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist’s work. We would like to thank Kathleen M. Burnside for her kind assistance in cataloguing this lot. $10,000-15,000

2 RUSSELL SMITH (american 1812-1896) “ROMAN PRISONERS SOLD AS SLAVES IN CARTHAGE” Signed with initials ‘R.S.’ bottom left, oil on canvas 36 1/8 x 54 1/8 in. (91.8 x 137.5cm) provenance: David David Gallery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Estate of Walter McDaniel, Pennsylvania. $8,000-12,000

3 THOMAS HILL (american 1829–1908) YOSEMITE FALLS Signed ‘T. Hill’ bottom right, oil on canvas 23 1/2 x 15 3/4 in. (59.7 x 40cm) provenance: Private Collection, Georgia.

note: Thomas Hill held a lifelong fascination for Yosemite, the sprawling National Park in Northern California. He made his first trip out West in 1865, at the age of 36, and would go on to make annual trips to sketch and paint the landscape and mountain ranges. Hill eventually established his family in San Francisco in 1873, within close proximity to his Yosemite studio at a historic hotel nestled in the park itself. The majestic vistas of the park provided an endless source of inspiration for Hill, who frequently worked outdoors, painting directly in the landscape. “Yosemite Falls” captures the park’s highest waterfall, with a drop of 2,425 feet (739 meters), in a rich composition of warm earth tones and subtle golden light. The natural landmark was a favorite subject for the artist, who painted it from various perspectives and in the ever-changing light of different seasons. $10,000-15,000

orn in Philadelphia in 1844, Thomas Eakins started his career in a very traditional way, first enrolling at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1862, and then training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Although he is now regarded as

one of the greatest realist painters of the late 19th and early 20th century, his talent was not widely acknowledged until his death in 1916. Many critics of his time disapproved of his modern subjects and of his style, which they considered crude. In 1894, the artist himself bitterly noted he was honored by “misunderstanding, persecution and neglect.” Eakins first began his career painting historical and genre subjects, including rowers and wrestlers. By the early 20th century, he turned to portraiture instead, fulfilling his interest in capturing the human figure. Eakins’ portraits are deeply rooted in reality. Instead of depicting his sitters idealistically, he chose to work meticulously from life, emphasizing the realistic flesh and blood qualities of the individuals who posed for him. Eakins particularly enjoyed painting young ladies and was considered the “interpreter of women” by Lloyd Goodrich, his first biographer. He painted them objectively and was interested in accentuating their inner-life, and most importantly their inner-thoughts. With their melancholic air and dreamy, unfocused gaze, each model appears self-assured, with a unique personality. Dated 1907, the Portrait of Miss Eleanor Pue is among the last portraits of young women Thomas Eakins painted in his career. Eakins met Miss Pue at a party when she was twenty years old. Taken with Eleanor’s striking appearance, he stared at her the entire night and followed her throughout the room. He later sent her a letter asking if he could “make a little painting of [her] head.” Pue was hesitant at first as she knew Eakins’ scandalous reputation with women all too well, and was afraid he would make advances. She eventually accepted and posed for Eakins three or four mornings a week. Eakins had her wear a very lownecked gown, a trend that can be observed in other portraits of women he made after 1900. While she posed, he complimented her features, admired the bones of her shoulders and chest, and would poke at them with the handle of his brush and say “beautiful bones.” Pue’s mother is said to have cried when she discovered the finished portrait. Pue herself loathed it. When it was exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1908, her friends mocked her and nicknamed the portrait “The Goddess of Murder.” According to 19th century standards of beauty, the portrait is not the least bit flattering. Eakins seemed to have fully recreated all of Miss Pue’s physical imperfections, namely her small head, long nose and low forehead. While the sitter appears somewhat forlorn, the portrait simultaneously conveys a striking sense of vitality. The darkish tones of Pue’s face contrast with the pallor of her neck and chest. This makes her stand out in a surreal way, almost like an apparition. Eakins specifically draws attention to the energy of her body beneath the clothes. The shoulders and the bosom are painted with a vigor and a gravity characteristic of Eakins’ portraits at the turn of the century. Eakins’ portraits were not intended to please the sitter; they were more important than artistic flattery. It was mainly an occasion for him to satisfy artistic needs and experiments. The strength and rawness of Miss Pue’s portrait ultimately exemplifies the depth and revealing nature with which Eakins painted. The present lot will be accompanied by three letters from the artist regarding arrangements for the painting of Miss Pue’s portrait. Two of them are dated June 30, 1907 and August 3, 1907. The third letter (undated) reads: “My dear Miss Pue/On the 8th I meet the/National Academicians at their/annual banquet in New York./I want to make a/little painting of your head. Could/you come up tomorrow Tuesday/morning about 9 o’clock?/You might bring a dress/or two or short waist, that we may/ fix a pose. I will give you the/study but you must lend it to me/if I want it for exhibition purposes./Yours truly/Thomas Eakins.”

An Impressionist painter, Goodwin is best known for his landscapes and city scenes, generally depicting the New England capital in all seasons. The present piece captures the promenade of Park Street, at the entrance to Boston Common, the expansive public park in the center of the city and a frequent subject for the artist. The bell tower of historic Park Street Church bisects the background, the skyline lit by a golden pink glow. In Goodwin’s quick, fluid brushstrokes, the park is at its loveliest, awash with soft, romantic hues of blue, green, and pale pink. $8,000-12,000

More than 500 people perished at sea that day, making it the deadliest collision in the history of the Transatlantic General Company during peacetime. $5,000-8,000

After twenty years of reliable service, Galileo was offered for sale in 1901. It was eventually scrapped at Genoa. Harold Sniffen lists three oil portraits of this vessel. Two of them measure 22 x 36 inches. Both unsigned, one is dated 1892 and the other 1895. $5,000-8,000

28 REGINALD MARSH (american 1898-1954) “BOWERY SCENE” Signed and dated ‘Reginald Marsh 45’ bottom center right, oil on Masonite 24 1/8 x 29 15/16 in. (61.3 x 76cm) provenance: Maxwell Galleries Ltd., San Francisco, California. Frank K.M. Rehn Galleries, New York, New York. Sid Deutsch Gallery Inc., New York, New York. ACA Galleries, New York, New York. Eaton Fine Art Inc., West Palm Beach, Florida. Acquired directly from the above. Private Collection, Florida.

note: The Bowery is a neighborhood located in a section of Lower Manhattan. Originally a group of Dutch farms, the area developed a rough reputation at the turn of the century, soon becoming a symbol of America’s Great Depression. By the 1940’s, when Reginald Marsh painted this scene, the neighborhood was New York City’s ‘Skid Row,’ the turf of several street gangs, and the home of prostitutes, immigrants and other blue-collar workers. It is no surprise that Marsh chose the Bowery as his subject because of his link with the Ashchan School, which promoted a journalistic approach to depicting daily life in New York’s poor neighborhoods. Marsh was particularly concerned with the exploitation of the millions of unemployed women in the nation, and enjoyed portraying them as independent figures. Painted in 1945, ‘Bowery Scene’ depicts a solitary woman among a crowd of men, along what seems to be the Third Avenue El. This elevated railway ran above the Bowery from 1878 to 1955. The men, all dressed in black and cloaked in shadows, stare at the red-haired woman, who is at the center of the composition. As is often the case with Marsh, this scene depicts an attractive and confident woman. Dressed in an elegant red coat which subtly accentuates the curves of her body, she walks through the crowd with natural ease, a smile on her face and hands in her pockets. Carol Troyen, who authored Edward Hopper’s biography (Edward Hopper being Marsh’s close friend), said Marsh usually portrayed women, and especially women of the streets, “as goddesses, frequently in poses derived from classical statuary.” This statement is supported by our heroine’s elegant ‘contrapposto’ and the mythologically inspired nude studies on the reverse side of the Masonite. In comparison, the woman‘s admirers look pitiful. All seem tired, and lack energy and vibrancy. This contrast is Marsh’s way to illustrate, and maybe temper, the highly misogynist and male-dominated sexual culture of New York in the 1940’s. While men are seen as leering and lusty creatures, women are depicted as empowered figures who stand out in spite of their male counterparts. $70,000-100,000

29 GUY CARLETON WIGGINS (american 1883-1962) “THE OLD AND NEW NEW YORK” Signed ‘Guy Wiggins. N.A.’ bottom left; also titled, signed and dated ‘Mar. 1956.’ verso, oil on canvas 24 1/4 x 36 1/8 in. (61.6 x 91.8cm) provenance: Grand Central Art Galleries, New York, New York. Private Collection, New York, New York.

note: The son of an accomplished landscape painter, Impressionist Guy Carleton Wiggins was born in Brooklyn in 1883 and spent his early childhood in Cornwall, England. He first studied with his father, Carleton Wiggins, and later at the National Academy of Design under the tutelage of famed American painters Robert Henri and William Merritt Chase, both alumni of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1903, at the early age of 20, Wiggins became the youngest American artist to have a work of his accepted into the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection. He was also one of the youngest members of the Old Lyme art colony in Connecticut, named for the small town approximately 100 miles northeast of Manhattan, where Wiggins spent his summers. There, he painted alongside his father, as well as Childe Hassam, whose wholly American interpretation of classic French Impressionism closely resembled Wiggins’ own. “The Old And New New York,” painted in 1956, just six years before the artist’s death, depicts the Plaza Hotel from the intersection of West 59th Street and 5th Avenue, looking south. The iconic landmark, dusted in snow, was a favorite subject for the artist, whose wintry New York scenes define his oeuvre. A line of horse-drawn carriages waits patiently, while the cars leave trails through the accumulating drift on the slick streets. Pedestrians move through the blustery blizzard that seems to permanently envelop the city in all of Wiggins’ representations of it. Their coats lift in the winter wind, mimicked in the movement of the flags flying above the Plaza’s entrance. The snow appears like delicate lace over the city skyline, at once blanketing the spires of churches and roofs of skyscrapers and swirling across the canvas. Despite the storm’s haze, “The Old and New New York” maintains a subtle lightness characteristic of Wiggins’ Impressionist style, which garnered him national acclaim throughout the first half of the 20th century. $50,000-80,000

Private Collection, Massachusetts. exhibited: “Arts of the Circus,” San Francisco Museum of Art, Spring 1942. “Walt Kuhn,” Kennedy Galleries, New York, New York, December 3-31, 1968, no. 9. note: While a prolific painter, cartoonist, and printmaker, Kuhn is perhaps most widely recognized for his intimate, evocative portraits of circus performers. A devoted attendee to the Ringling Brothers, Barnun and Bailey Circus, Kuhn used real circus and vaudeville performers as his models. Removed from their normal performance environment and painted against dark-hued backgrounds, the figures take on a haunting and solitary air, stripped of the joyful pretense each would have adopted to entertain crowds. The subjects are painted wearing their costumes, as well as solemn, penetrating expressions, the normally cheerful ruffled collars and stage makeup appear somewhat sinister in Kuhn’s hand. Executed in 1927, “The Tumbler” depicts the young performer dressed in a pale blue leotard with an ochre sash tied around his waist. Like most of Kuhn’s male subjects, the present acrobat stands with his arms crossed, a pose at once casual and defensive. The painting and the larger series to which it belongs, while representative of Kuhn’s bold, modernist style, includes a certain historical nod to the commedia dell’arte portraits by classic French artists centuries before. Proceeds from the sale of this lot will be donated to Groton School in Groton, Massachusetts. $20,000-30,000

38 JOSEPH STELLA (american 1877–1946) “SYREN” Signed ‘J. Stella’ bottom right; also inscribed with artist and title verso, oil on canvas 16 x 20 1/8 in. (40.6 x 51.1cm) provenance: The Artist. The Artist’s nephew. By descent in the family. note: Modern interpretations have transformed mythological sirens from birds to mermaids, and finally to nude, ethereal women with long hair. Stripped of their traditional chimerical characteristics such as wings and fins that would have once been an obvious sign of danger, the sirens of 19th and 20th century paintings are perhaps more dangerous for their entirely human appearance. It is this version of the siren that Stella has chosen for the present piece, stylizing both the spelling and visual representation in his own unique hand. Women and flowers in the water was a theme the artist returned to with some regularity over his career. Cradled in an open seashell, the “Syren” has long, flowing hair which obscures the rest of her body, revealing only the white flesh of her arched neck. Her skin is given a diaphanous pallor, her face matched in shape and color by the petals of the water lily arcing over the scene. Stella uses three wide, flattened bands of color in varying shades of blue to define the sky and the depths of the water. The thin smile on the face of the “Syren” face is both alluring and foreboding in its implied softness, and the position the artist chose for her head was no doubt intended to lure the viewer closer to the canvas, an enticement by brushstroke rather than song. $12,000-18,000

(103.8 x 70.8cm) provenance: Richard York Gallery, New York, New York. William Vareika Fine Arts Ltd., Newport, Rhode Island. Hirschl & Adler Galleries, Inc., New York, New York. Private Collection, Delaware. note: Though Italian-born, Joseph Stella is considered one of the great American Modernists, and is widely credited with bringing Futurism to the United States. Best known for his depictions of the Brooklyn Bridge, Stella rose to prominence following the 1913 Armory Show. Upon his arrival to New York in 1896, he studied as a draftsman at the Art Students League under William Merritt Chase. Stella traveled extensively throughout his career, returning often to his native Muro Lucano in southern Italy, and incorporating into his work inspiration gathered at each new - or familiar locale before filtering it through his own distinct perspective. In the late 1920’s, after his travels to the West Indies and Africa, Stella embarked on a series of works on paper featuring colorful flowers, birds, and still-lifes, a departure from the solidly linear man-made structures with which his work had become synonymous to that point. While continuing his foray into the natural landscape, “Tree Form” retains the sense of geometry present in the Precisionist and Futurist cityscapes Stella produced of Lower Manhattan. His dynamic use of scale renders the winding tree trunk an imposing force. He employs a dramatically darkened color palate, making the present piece a skillful combination of his earlier work and the more experimental, exotic nature themes developed through his Caribbean voyages. The landscape is sliced through with fragmented earth tones, the shapes of each demarcated region drawing the eye in at every turn. “Tree Form” is as alive as its subject, with an urgency and power that highlights Stella’s background as a draftsman and his capacity as a colorist. $30,000-50,000

47 THOMAS HART BENTON (american 1889-1975) “GENERAL CUSTER’S LAST STAND” Pencil signed ‘Benton’ bottom right, graphite on paper Executed circa 1943. Sheet size: 8 3/8 x 11 in. (21.3 x 27.9cm) provenance: Collection of Richard A. Russell, Pennsylvania. Private Collection, Pennsylvania.

exhibited: “Under the influence: the students of Thomas Hart Benton,” The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, Saint Joseph, Missouri, 1993.

note: This drawing serves as the original compositional sketch for Thomas Benton’s “Custer’s Last Stand,” a painting originally owned by Richard A. Russell and now located in the AlbrechtKemper Museum of Art in Saint Joseph, Missouri. As a young boy living in Neosho, Missouri, Benton became fascinated with a popular lithograph of General Custer’s last battle in 1876, originally published by Anheuser-Busch. The print stuck with Benton, who decided to produce a large composition based on the subject in 1943. In this sketch, the figures form a compact and agitated group. Benton is able to convey the tension of Custer’s final combat against the Sioux and the Northern Cheyenne warriors through his spirited pencil strokes. The General is alone in the middle, surrounded on all sides he throws up his hands as a last-ditch effort before his death. The present drawing will be accompanied by a letter from the artist dated January 14, 1948. $5,000-8,000

It shows a path leading to his mother’s house. $1,500-2,500

54 ALEXANDER PHIMISTER PROCTOR (american 1860-1950) BUFFALO With artist ‘Alexander Phimister Proctor’ on plaque on back of base, bronze with greenish-brown patina Height (including base): 12 in. (30.5cm) provenance: Private Collection, Wyoming. note: By the end of the 1800’s, because natural resources and native wildlife namely, the American buffalo - had become heavily depleted, the United States government declared the Western frontier closed. Nevertheless, the buffalo had already become a popular emblem and visual representation of the nostalgic American West. Around the same time, at the opposite end of the country, Washington, D.C.’s Fine Art Commission selected Alexander Phimister Proctor to create a large scale sculpture of a buffalo for a planned bridge in the city’s downtown area. The present lot is very likely an early working model of the final sculpture. That monumental work, along with three other Buffalo sculptures by Proctor, adorn the bridge, now known as Dumbarton Bridge. $30,000-50,000

55 ELLING WILLIAM GOLLINGS (american 1878-1932) “THE FEAR OF THE GREAT SPIRIT” Signed and dated ‘Gollings 1912’ with artist’s cipher bottom center right; also inscribed with title verso, oil on canvas 24 1/8 x 34 1/8 in. (61.3 x 86.7cm) provenance: The Artist. Acquired directly from the above. By descent in the family. Private Collection, New Jersey.

note: Elling William Gollings spent the beginning of his adult life traveling through the Midwestern United States. He immersed himself in the expansive landscapes of South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, capturing the waning years of the storied Old West in his numerous depictions of Native Americans and cowboys. Gollings arrived in South Dakota in 1896. Much like the artist Charles M. Russell, who was also enchanted by the disappearing saga of the wild American west, Gollings’ work harkens back to the folkloric narrative of the heyday of the Old West: bucking broncos and the fabled cowboys and Native Americans who indeed lived amidst the scrubby, unchartered mountainous terrain. “The Fear of the Great Spirit” was completed in 1912, and demonstrates the artist’s intimate knowledge of the techniques and quotidian livelihoods of the actual inhabitants in the remote, sprawling reaches of the country. In 1930, Gollings took an inventory of all his studio paintings and decided, foolhardily, to destroy those he was not fond of, with the intention of redoing them based upon his improved painting skills from years of practice. After his death, many of the remaining paintings were stored in Gollings’ studio before being inventoried by his estate’s executors. The present lot was designated #47 of this inventory and was originally sold at an estate auction for $60.00. “The Fear of the Great Spirit” has been kept in the same family since its initial purchase, and is fresh to market after quite some time. We wish to thank Mr. Gary L. Temple for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot. Mr. Temple owns and operates The Meadowlark Gallery in Joliet, Montana. $50,000-80,000

(66.2 x 91.3cm) provenance: Private Collection, Minnesota. note: Though embraced as a thoroughly American Impressionist, Jonas Lie was born in 1880 in Moss, Norway, just south of Oslo. Upon his father’s death in 1892, Lie was sent to Paris where he attended a private art school. He joined his mother in New York City the next year, eventually settling in Plainfield, New Jersey. After attending the National Academy of Design, and studying at both the Art Students League of New York and Cooper Union, Lie traveled abroad, making stops in his native Norway as well as Paris. It was there, in 1906, that Lie embraced Impressionism, inspired by Monet’s signature faculty with light and color, which helped define the movement. His profound influence can be seen in Lie’s sparkling seascapes, painted along the New England coast and the harbors around New York. $7,000-10,000

Private Collection, Pennsylvania. note: The present work was executed in 1983, while the artist was on Southern Island, Maine. The letter describes the artist’s encounter with a moose, which appeared unexpectedly on an island off the coast of Tenans Harbor. The artist felt the occasion worthy of capturing it in a letter to his friend Richard (Dick) Carr, who helped him in his Chadds Ford studio as an assistant. Wyeth’s wife, Betsy, purchased Southern Island in 1978. It quickly became the subject of many paintings. In the early 1990’s, the island was transferred to the artist’s son, Jamie. The present painting is to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist’s work. $3,000-5,000

Leffel, Self-Portraits: A Visual Journey of Insight, Bright Light Publishing, El Prado N.M., 2009, p. 82 (illustrated).

note: This self-portrait was completed at a time when David Leffel had difficulty finishing paintings and was considering giving up. The artist vividly recalls the genesis of this painting: “One day my eye, casting around the studio in desperation seeking any kind of succor, happened on this painting. I had started it some time before and had abandoned it, when, once again, my interest in painting had waned. Regarding it almost as a swan song, I thought to go out in a blaze of desperation - I would put as much paint on the canvas as I could: gobs and slathers of it. Almost before I had time to take in what was happening, I was having great fun. I was using paint in a new way with more paint than even before, and it had triggered a breakthrough. I could not get enough paint on the canvas. The joy had returned -I didn’t have to get a job! I was manipulating paint and making it stand for skin and hair and scarf; it was as though I had a magic brush in my hand. I felt I reached a new plateau.” $6,000-10,000

NESCO proclaimed 1979 the ‘International Year of the Child’, to raise global awareness about the problems faced by children worldwide, including a lack of access to food and education. In January of

that year, then-First Lady Rosalynn Carter held the first National ‘Reading is Fun’ Day in conjunction with Reading is Fundamental, Inc., whose mission still today is to foster a culture of literacy for children and families nationwide. Sendak was commissioned to create an original illustration to mark the occasion, a natural extension of the artist and author’s “passion for books and bookmaking.” “Reading is Fun!” was incorporated into a large poster celebrating the joy of reading, with the title of both the illustration and cause at the bottom. This watercolor depicts the characters of “Where the Wild Things Are,” all well-known and easily recognizable, even sixteen years after the book’s publication. The young boy, Max, reads a copy of the of the book in which he appears, while two of the titular “wild things,” Moishe and Bernard, are ready to devour a stack of tomes, including Randolph Caldecott’s Picture Books (the nineteenth-century illustrator for whom the award is named), Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and a book of nursery rhymes, all celebrated and iconic children’s books. There is marked tone of whimsy in the work. Each subject, including the smiling crescent moon, delights in a book, echoing and inspiring the sentiments of the piece’s title.

Michener Art Museum, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, February 9-May 12, 2002, no. 34 (illustrated in the exhibition catalogue).

note: The present work belongs to a series of figurative paintings Nuse referred to as ‘boys in the glen,’ which he considered to be among his most important work. Nuse often used his six children as figure models for his paintings, and the landscape surrounding his Bucks County home as backdrops. In “Figures in the Glen,” Nuse places three of his sons along a verdant creek bank, wading in the shallow, light-dappled water. The painting adheres to a long academy tradition, placing unclothed figures in woodland tableaux, walking or sitting near a shimmering pool of water. Nuse treatment of sunlight-golden flecks on the surface of the creek, the trees, and the downy forest floor lends a fairy-tale air to the scene, almost transforming the innocent boys into mythological creatures. $20,000-30,000

dward Willis Redfield built his reputation through powerful landscape paintings, which he almost exclusively executed en plein air. Well-versed in large-scale winter scenes, he often revisited this subject throughout his career, always paying great attention to light

and color in order to best capture the beauty and the subtleties of the snow-covered Pennsylvania countryside. In 1898, the Redfield family purchased a farm in Center Bridge, Pennsylvania, which allowed Edward to study unique viewpoints. The present work was painted near the artist’s home in 1915, and its style is typical for Redfield. The winding, snow-covered road, upon which villagers pull a sled, stretches into the distance, conveying a sense of winter’s immenseness. The palette is sparse. The artist only uses dove grays and blue grays with touches of lavender to render the quietness of the moment. However, Redfield manages to animate the scene with carefully arranged splashes of colors - on the hats of the villagers and barn façades - proving his ability to enliven a village muted by snow. This painting will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the ‘Associated Dealers in American Paintings,’ as certified and signed by the artist, dated December 24, 1927. It will also be accompanied by the original bill of sale from J.J. Gillespie Company dated January, 1927, and by a letter from the artist dated November 28, 1944. The painting will also be included in Dr. Thomas Folk’s forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist’s work.

literature: Dorothy Redfield (the Artist’s daughter-in-law), “Paintings Distributed to Heirs, After the Bucks County Conservancy Exhibition,” The Edward Willis Redfield Estate Journal, June 19-July 6, 1975. note: After graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1889, Redfield traveled to Europe to continue his studies in Paris, at both the École des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian. Redfield’s time in France deepened his appreciation for Impressionism, and he frequently painted en plein air, even upon his return to America. “The Coast of France” possibly depicts the rocky shore of Boulogne, which had been painted earlier by Édouard Manet, one of Redfield’s artistic heroes. The craggy hillside rises away from the surf and cradles the scene. A solitary woman disrupts the landscape as she is walking along a narrow, curving path; the dark folds of her skirt repeated in the shadows and crevices of the rocks clustered in the foreground. Redfield’s signature thick, broad brushstrokes spread across the hazy sky and wild, overgrown grass blanketing the hills. But for a thin line of blue, the horizon has disappeared, the calm water of the English channel rising to meet the expanse of sky. The overall scene is punctuated with an almost melancholic air, a moody departure from Redfield’s light-suffused landscapes - luminous even - when depicting winter. From 1898, and into the early years of the 20th century, Redfield visited France often, with his French wife Élise Deligant. These trips are undocumented after 1898. According to Dr. Thomas Folk, the signature, with capital letters is a 20th century Redfield signature, rather than a late 19th century one. This painting must have been a favorite of the artist, as he exhibited it several times, especially in his early career. It may have had some sentimental value to him, as he never sold it, and later, was part of his Estate. We wish to thank Dr. Thomas Folk for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot. The present painting will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Dr. Folk and is to be included in his forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist’s work. $30,000-50,000

ne of the most influential Pennsylvania Impressionists, Daniel Garber usually set his landscape scenes along the Delaware River, in the idyllic New Hope area. According to the

Catalogue Raisonné, the artist painted this particular scene in September 1929 from the top of a hill in Lambertville, New Jersey. New Hope, the artist’s refuge, can be seen across the Delaware River, the peaked roofs of a church and buildings dotting the hillside. Characteristic of Garber’s style, the painting employs a screen of trees and falling shadows to frame the rolling landscape beyond. The warm-hued color palette captures the golden greens and yellows of the season, as late summer transitions to fall. “A Jersey Road” garnered acclaim when it was exhibited two years after completion, giving the viewer a postcard glimpse of the scene that provided a lifetime of inspiration for Garber and his fellow artists in the New Hope Colony.

usette Inloes Schultz Keast was born in 1892 in Philadelphia. The grandniece of Franz Xavier Winterhalter, court painter to Emperor Napoleon III of France, Keast showed an early aptitude for art, attending the Philadelphia School of Design for

Women (now Moore College of Art & Design) and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. At PAFA, she studied under Thomas Anshutz and William Merritt Chase, and in 1911, at the age of 19, she received the prestigious Cresson European Fellowship, which Daniel Garber received sometime before. Not limited by geography, Keastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work was influenced by the landscapes of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Montreal, her time in Europe, as well as the Far East, including China, Japan, and Korea. She lived with her husband, the Philadelphia architect W.R. Morton Keast, in a townhouse on Rittenhouse Square, where her home studio was designed to resemble the palace of a Chinese Emperor. Keast was a member of The Philadelphia Ten, a group comprised of students of the Philadelphia School of Design whose efforts were to exhibit their work independently, having been barred from many public institutions based on their gender. Fern Coppedge, one of the most significant female Pennsylvania Impressionists and a fellow student at PAFA, was also a member, and the two would have crossed paths professionally and socially during their involvement with the group. Keast died in 1932 at the age of 40, finalizing what was already an extensive, exemplary oeuvre. This set of five paintings, all fresh to the market, come from a family collection now belonging to one of the three granddaughters of the artist.

131 SUSETTE INLOES SCHULTZ KEAST (american 1892-1932) “THE INNER HARBOR” Signed ‘Susette Keast’ bottom right, oil on canvas 25 1/8 x 30 1/8 in. (63.8 x 76.5cm) provenance: The Artist.

Though visually distinct, Keast’s painting is stylistically aligned with the work of Fern Coppedge. The short brushstrokes and treatment of sunlight on the landscapes of her paintings, most notably the many-hued surface of the water in this present work, are classically emblematic of the Impressionist movement. $10,000-15,000

147 ANTONIO MARTINO (american 1902–1989) WINTER TWILIGHT Signed ‘Antonio P. Martino’ bottom left, oil on canvas 30 x 40 in. (76.2 x 101.6cm) provenance: Private Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: A highly decorated painter, Philadelphian Antonio Martino was the recipient of more than eighty national awards over the course of his career. His distinctive style blends classic impressionist elements and more modernist formwork, exercised on his abundant depictions of Manayunk and the area around the Delaware River. An atmospheric cityscape of a beloved neighborhood, “Winter Twilight” highlights Martino’s capable use of color and skilled brushwork. Martino’s expert rendering of the snow-draped solid row houses and rising mounds of earth transports the viewer to the blustery city street. The flattened gray sky of the early winter evening is mimicked in the darkened windowpanes of the houses; the shock of white snow illuminates the canvas in the absence of sunlight. $5,000-8,000

Coppedge’ bottom center left; also inscribed with artist and title on upper stretcher verso, oil on canvas 20 1/8 x 24 1/8 in. (51.3 x 61.3cm) provenance: Private Collection, Maryland. note: The most prominent female figure associated with the Pennsylvania Impressionists, Fern Isabel Coppedge is most wellknown for her bright, warm-hued wintry scenes, which were usually set in Bucks County, along the Delaware River. Like many other Impressionists of her time, Coppedge was willing to endure rough weather in order to capture the subtle effects of changing light, a technique at which she particularly excelled. In this fine painting, “The Garden Wall,” Coppedge once again demonstrates her love of color. In the foreground, the snowy field is covered with blotches of deep purple, along with various shades of red and orange. The garden wall itself is a mosaic masterpiece well worthy of the title of this painting. $30,000-50,000

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.

Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”.

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.

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 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.

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.
