Earle Williams Newton II (1917-2006) Art benefactor, author and historian Earle Newton began his career at age thirteen when he started his own printing business, The Bibliophile Press, out of his parents’ home. He would go on to found two maga zines, Vermont Life and American Heritage, and serve as director of institutions including the Vermont Historical Society, Old Sturbridge Village and the Institute on Historical and Archival Management at Radcliffe-Harvard Universities. Newton published on a range of American historical topics, including the Gulf Coast, and was influential in Spanish Colonial Florida preservation projects. For his work in the restoration of St. Augustine, FL in the 1960s Newton was awarded Spain’s Order of Isabella Catolica. In 2001 Newton donated significant 17th, 18th and 19th century British and American artworks from his personal collection to the Savannah College of Art and Design to establish the Earle W. Newton Center for British and American Studies. Queen Elizabeth awarded Newton an OBE in 2003 in honor of his donation promoting AngloAmerican culture.

“Virginia”, St. Francisville, Louisiana The earliest section of this historic property dates to 1799. It was expanded in 1829, and again in 1852, by Massachusetts-born attorney Lorenzo D. Brewer, who also added the fashionable cast iron railings. Brewer died in the 1859 explosion of the steamboat Princess on the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge, and his widow sold the property to Mrs. Catherine Fischer. “Virginia” remained in the Fischer family until the 1960s. In 1967 “Virginia” was purchased and lovingly restored by Dr. and Mrs. Sam Vinci. “Virginia” is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been featured in numerous annual Audubon Pilgrimages as well as Delta Queen Steamboat tours. Neal Auction Company is pleased to present the contents of this historic Greek Revival townhouse.

Ward Hall, Georgetown, KY Ward Hall was built by Junius R. Ward (1802-1883) as a summer residence in the 1850s. Ward’s primary home was on his cotton plantation near Leota Landing in the Mississippi Delta. During the tenure of Frances Susong Jenkins (1921-2013) as chatelaine of her family home, the interior of Ward Hall took on a Gallic flair as she actively collected antique French furniture and decorations, mostly in the 1950s. Mrs. Jenkins patronized carriage trade purveyors including Royal Co., B. Manheim’s and Feldman’s Antique Emporium in New Orleans, and the Marques de Rodil’s shop in British Columbia. Ward Hall is now the home of The Ward Hall Preservation Foundation, Inc., which is a historic site depicting an interpretive period from 1857 to 1867. Ward Hall is a Kentucky Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

toward the distant stream and trees.

$1500/2500 Provenance: Kennedy Galleries, New York (two prominent labels en verso, one giving the traditional identification, as above. Note: This enchanting portrait of a youth in a lavishly brassbuttoned “Robin Hood” suit of Lincoln green exhibits many characteristic features of Inman’s style. First, the costume itself exemplifies a pattern common on both sides of the Atlantic in the late 1830s and 1840s; but Inman’s trademark motif of the ruffled shirt—pulled dramatically out and down to expose an expanse of chest and shoulder—is exactly paralleled in several of his sitters, most notably in his signed Boy in a Landscape of about this same date, in the Baltimore Museum of Art. The subject of that latter “cabinet” picture (a figure in a closely comparable pose, again holding make-believe weapons) is startlingly similar to the present sitter’s. The same wide eyes, short nose, and full mouth are all set rather closely together, leaving a broad expanse of forehead visible beneath the forward-brushed blond hair. The present painting here, especially, includes one of Inman’s quite unmistakable ears, rather generically painted for such a cosmopolitan artist: compare his documented W. C. Macready as William Tell, exhibited at the Boston Athenæum in 1828, and now at the Metropolitan Museum, New York (in which another broad neck and exposed upper shoulders are also particularly prominent). Both the William Tell and this painting share intriguingly similar backgrounds, in which the incipient forms may be read almost interchangeably as clouds, rocks, or vegetation: in the picture offered here, the young man is in the act of stepping out from behind a bush at the edge of a grove—suggested only by evanescent woodland forms along the left margin of the painting—and gesturing toward a vestigial stream beneath evergreen trees and a sunset sky, on the right margin. Exactly analogous features are also present in one of Inman’s most celebrated paintings, his 1839 portrait of Georgianna Buckham with her Mother in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: once more the child’s head, neck, and drapery are extremely close to this sitter’s, and both children use absolutely identical gestures, in which their fingers are held in exactly the same configuration—she with her left hand reaching across her dress, and this youth with his right hand, pointing

After moving from upstate to New York City at the age of eleven in 1812, two years later Henry Inman secured a coveted apprenticeship with John Wesley Jarvis (1781-1840), with whom he worked— and eventually collaborated—for seven years, traveling with Jarvis for example to New Orleans in the winters of 1820-21 and 18211822. He set up his own studio in New York in 1823, and in 1825 was instrumental in the founding of the National Academy of Design, of which he became vicepresident. A highly accomplished draftsman, Inman painted a remarkably wide variety of subjects, but was perhaps best known for his fashionable portraits, which earned him the title of “the American Lawrence” (after Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1769-1830). He lived in Philadelphia from 1831-1834; and if the Kennedy Gallery tradition of the Pennsylvania origin of this superb portrait is valid, he might well have painted it there. In 1844-1845, however, he worked in England, where in 1845 he exhibited a Portrait of a Child at the Royal Academy in London (no. 331). That event has sometimes been associated with the referenced painting now in Baltimore; but given the larger size of paintings normally submitted to the Academy, and the not-very-American-looking accoutrements in this painting, it seems more likely that the 1845 exhibition record may plausibly refer to this more striking and impressive picture, rather than to the small cabinet painting in the Baltimore Museum of Art. It has been authoritatively remarked—in the best overview of Inman’s work—that he was almost preternaturally gifted, in his images of children (unlike his much more sober treatments of adults), with an ability to fix upon an expression at once amiable and immensely appealing. Nowhere is that special gift more in evidence that in this unforgettable young archer, whose robust presence is at both captivating and compelling. Whether it was executed in Philadelphia or in London, the haunting image of this youth depicted here may be situated as one of the touchstones of Inman’s art.

9. William Auerbach-Levy (American, 1889-1964), “Portrait of a Young Woman on a Park Bench”, pastel on gray paper, monogrammed left center, 11 in. x 9 in., framed. $200/400 Provenance: Descended in the Pollatsek/Reynolds Family, New Orleans. 10. Circle or Follower of Louis-Léopold Boilly (French, 1761-1845), “A Young Woman of the Commune, Directoire, or Early Empire”, c. 1790-1810, oil on canvas, unsigned, 21 in. x 26 in., ebonized panel frame of the period. $500/1000 9

8. Anglo-American School, 18th c., “Girl in a Green Silk Damask Dress, with Cherries”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 29 in. x 19 in., unframed. $700/1000 Provenance: Charles D. Childs, Boston, 1954.

Note: This charming painting here depicts its sitter in costume and coiffure very strongly reminiscent of Boilly, but with a barely-noticeable severity of handling that sets it apart from his tenderness and delicacy. This painter favors a considerably wider mouth than Boilly; the slightly hooked nose is painted more simply; and the very expressive eyes are not quite as naturalistically rendered as Boilly’s. The hair and costume exhibit a linear precision distinct from Boilly’s effects of softness and warmth, while the halflength format here is somewhat more inclusive than Boilly’s shorter bust-length depictions. This lady is very expensively dressed, with an embroidered shawl, textured gown, and copious lace trimmings on her blouse and cap (which even includes a stitched circlet of laurel leaves, presumably as a Revolutionary emblem). She wears a beaded necklace absolutely identical to those of several of Boilly’s sitters, and the ribbons tying her bonnet are handled in a closely analogous way. This wonderful image, in other words, exactly parallels the career, sitters, and style of Boilly, but is recognizably by a different hand—one that perhaps expresses even more directly the incipient unease of the suddenly large class of “citoyens” facing the turbulent years of the Terror.

21. After William Edward West, “Battle of New Orleans and Death of General Packenham on the 8th of January, 1815”, Philadelphia: J Yeager, 1816, copper engraving by J. Yaeger, printed by Y. Saurman, plate 15 7/8 in. x 20 5/8 in., sheet 17 3/4 in. x 22 1/2 in., attractively framed. $1500/2500 Note: The Battle of New Orleans is rather unique since unbeknownst to the combatants, the Treaty of Ghent had been signed on 24 December 1814 and the war was officially over. It did however have immense importance for the American people. The most significant military action in the war prior to Jackson’s victory had been the taking of Washington and burning of the White House by the British. This was seen as humiliating proof of British superiority, so the unequivocal victory near New Orleans was a great morale booster. Without it, the War of 1812 would have been merely settled. With it, the United States of America could declare victory.

44. Circle of David Morier (Swiss/British, 1705-1770), “A Gentleman on Horseback”, c. 1750, oil on canvas, unsigned, 16 3/4 in. x 14 in., framed. $800/1200 Provenance: Christie’s, London, 4 November 1960, lot 184, as ‘Devis;’ Collection of Earle Williams Newton II (1917-2012), Ponte Vedra, FL. Note: This charming small painting is a reduced version of Morier’s Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), offered at Sotheby’s, London, 6 June 2007, lot 26. That much more monumental picture, at some 40 in. x 50 in., was one of a large group of paintings that Morier executed for this younger son of the House of Hanover (the most conspicuous British patron of the arts in his generation), mainly in c. 17451750. Both paintings, at their widely discrepant sizes, show similarly costumed riders in closely analogous poses, on the same horses with the same distinctive gaits; the main difference is that the large painting by Morier is set in a wide park with a broad water feature in the middle distance, outlined by an extensive prospect of buildings and trees. This small derivation shows the sitter directly regarding the viewer (Prince William had looked straight ahead); and whereas the latter’s legs had extended far below the belly of his horse, the sitter in this reduction has substantially shorter stirrups. In view of such a close congruence of design in their principal figures, one plausible ascription of this picture might be “After Morier”; but the conspicuous changes in sitter and background, as well (above all) as the sharp discrepancy of scale, make it perhaps preferable to define this tiny variant of the official ‘state’ painting as a quickly-executed reduction by an anonymous follower, possibly associated with Morier’s circle.

144. Attributed to Joseph Karl Stieler (German, 17811858), “Georg Karl Friedrich, Prince of Saxe-Altenburg (17961858)”, and his wife “Marie Louise of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Princess of Saxe-Altenburg (1803-1862)”, c. 1835, each oil on canvas, unsigned, accompanied by contemporaneous card with period inscription of identification and titles, 14 in. x 11 3/8 in, and 14 1/4 x 11 1/2 in. respectively, ebonized frames. $10000/15000 Provenance: Private collection, Berlin, until 1949; to collection of Bridgette Kirkham, Berlin and Seattle, 1950-c. 1975, to present owner Note: Prince Georg Karl was a member of the royal house of Wettin, and was born as a prince of the Thuringian state of Saxe-Hildburghausen, just to the west of the kingdom of Saxony. In 1826 his parents, Friedrich (1763-1834) and Charlotte Georgine (1769-1818, married 1785) became Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Altenburg, from which title their successor, Georg’s elder brother Joseph, abdicated in the revolutions of 1848. The present sitter Georg thus succeeded as Duke of Saxe-Altenburg in that year, but died ten days after his 57th birthday in 1853. He had married in 1825 Maria Louise, Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1803-1862), and they had three children in quick succession between 1826 and 1829, the eldest of whom succeeded his father. Prince Georg’s elder sister Therese

Charlotte Louise Frederica Amalie (1792-1854) had become Queen of Bavaria upon her marriage in 1810 to King Ludwig I (1786-1868), and were the grandparents of the notorious ‘Mad King Ludwig’ (1845-1886). King Ludwig I of Bavaria had appointed Joseph Karl Stieler as court painter at Munich in 1820, and it seems very probable that Queen Therese may have recommended her court painter to her younger brother and his wife. Stieler had studied in Würtzburg, Vienna, and Paris (under François Gerard), and visited Italy in 1809, 1810, and 1812; his celebrated portrait style is a fusion of Neo-Classicism with the even more fashionable Biedermeier manner. Although the two splendid pictures offered here appear slightly smaller than was usual for the Munich court painter J. K. Stieler, their unquestioned adherence to his general style, and above all the fact that his appointment at Munich came (in 1820) from Prince Georg’s sister and brother-in-law, the King and Queen of Bavaria (Ludwig I, 1786-1868, and Therese Charlotte Louise Frederica Amalie, 1792-1854), combine with his well-documented work for this specific court of Saxe-Altenburg, to make it quite clear that he must have been the artist whom Queen Therese recommended to her younger brother, Prince Georg. These two extraordinary images—especially that of Princess Marie Louise—in fact represent exalted moments of very high fashion.

213. Attributed to George Peter Alexander Healy (American, 1813-1894), “Portrait of a Lady”, c. 1855-60, oil on canvas, unsigned, 36 in. x 29 in., very elaborate original carved giltwood frame, verso of top rail with an extensive original framers’ label: “Jones, Wood [...] / Gilders and Colormen[?] / [Looking Gla]ss, Portrait, & Picture [Framers] / [...] Manufacturers. / [Paint]ings & Li[thographs] / [...] Wood & Gilt Mo[ldings] / Wholesale and Retail / No. 89 Montgomery Street, near California / San Francisco.” $2000/3000 Note: This spectacular portrait would evidently have been painted either in Chicago—where Healy lived from 1855 to 1867—or in New Orleans (where the artist definitely worked in 1860-1861, and perhaps also during two or three winters in the late 1850s), then taken to San Francisco to be framed. The contemporary framers were a firm established in the Parrot Granite Block on the NW corner of Montgomery and California Streets, which stood from 1852 to 1926; its three substantial stories were not materially harmed in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, but the structure was eventually demolished to make way for the Financial Center Building. The sitter was doubtless a prominent member of San Francisco society during the Civil War years. Every hallmark of Healy’s well-known style is present in this painting, lot 213. Almost uniquely among American artists of the period, he favored the extended format of a three-quarter-length sitting figure. He was also partial to carefullydelineated chairs, of which a typical model is included here, the example with

tufted upholstery behind the Lady. The Lady’s coiffure is one of Healy’s trademarks, and her superb black lace shawl, thrown negligently over the rich silks of her dress, has an absolutely precise parallel in the portrait (c. 1853) of Governor Sharkey’s Wife, in a private collection in Mississippi (which also happens to be exactly the same size). Very similar white lace trim adorns Healy’s monumental 1860 portrait of the Confederate socialite Myra Knox Semmes, in a private Louisiana collection. Memorably combining diplomatic manners and great personal charm with obvious skill and exceptional speed, G. P. A. Healy of Boston became a truly international celebrity, whose natural talents and affable character appealed equally to royalty, gentry, and patriots. He was encouraged by Thomas Sully and patronized by Mrs. Harrison Grey Otis to make the first of his (eventually thirty) transatlantic crossings, to study in Paris with Baron Gros (and later with Thomas Couture). He became one of the favorite painters of King Louis-Philippe of France, and the King and Queen of Romania; after long residences in Paris, London, and New York he settled in Chicago, where he made a specialty of painting generals, statesmen, and presidents (his 1864 Seated Lincoln, at the Newberry Library there, is one of his most celebrated works). His fame only intensified over the remaining thirty years of his life, and it has aptly been remarked that his cosmopolitanism prefigured and rivaled that of John Singer Sargent in the next generation.

224

Note: This rare cartoon shows the paradoxical effect that negative attacks on Andrew Jackson were having in the famous campaign of 1828. An editor-publisher in Philadelphia named John Binns had published several harsh hand-outs called “coffin hand bills” that accused Jackson of arbitrary executions of American militia volunteers and Native American prisoners, as well as violent episodes from Jackson’s personal history. The hand bills failed, though it isn’t clear whether it was because they exaggerated Jackson’s excesses or because an important portion of the population approved of the implied excesses. All this, though hardly altogether false, had the effect of increasing Jackson’s popularity. 224.

Note: Of the venerable Bayou School painters, Marshall Joseph Smith, Jr. undoubtedly has the most distinctive style with his recognizable minute brushwork. Noted for his fine detail in painting moss-laden oak trees and marsh grass, his exquisitely rendered scenes of Louisiana’s waterways, shanties and fishermen are distinct from those of Richard Clague and William Henry Buck. The work offered here is a stunning example of Smith’s fully developed mature style. The shore line of the lake curves to the left with the most developed part of the landscape in the right foreground. This is the same compositional technique used in “Cypress Grove, Gulf Coast” in the Roger Houston Ogden Collection and “Laundry Day on Lake Pontchartrain,” (ex-collection Martha Ann Samuel). Smith almost always features a man engaged in some activity; here a man in a red shirt carries wood along the shore. This same figure appears in lot 299, the large Smith painting from the same estate collection. The sailboat tied to the pier is another hallmark of Smith’s work. The atmospheric sky with a gradation of clouds was developed by Smith in his 1873-74 studies in Europe and successfully rendered here in an accomplished mature style.

Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal. A city where everybody could draw wherever they liked, where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city like that felt like a party where everyone was invited… Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet. Banksy, Banksy Wall and Piece, London, 2007, p. 85.

353. Banksy (British, b. 1974), “Abe Lincoln”, 2008, stencil spray paint on cardboard, initialed and inscribed lower right, 36 in. x 24 in, unframed; accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Pest Control. $30000/50000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist. Note: Banksy is a contemporary street artist who has developed a distinctive style of graffiti art that combines appropriated imagery from a variety of sources and media with social commentary. He has executed various murals on public buildings in locations as diverse as London, Melbourne and New Orleans. “Banksy’s work polarizes opinion: people really do love it and hate it in equal measure… To his fans, he’s the cunning voice of dissent, staking the claim of the individual in a media-obsessed capitalist society. Whatever the opinion of the work or the mythology that surrounds it, it has to be said that Banksy is the best-known street artist working today… In terms of impact and raising public awareness, Banksy’s career is unmatched.” (Lewison, Cedar, Streetart, London, 2008, p.117 and118.) Banksy executes his painted graffiti murals on public buildings and other kinds of structures and surfaces such as this work. Although he originally used free-hand processes to spray his murals, he turned to stencils as a way of getting his images on the wall quickly before he could be stopped. His images are drawn or printed onto sheets of cardboard or acetate and painstakingly cut, as they are often quite complex in their linear details. “Think outside the box, collapse the box, and take a [f – – g] sharp knife to it.” — Banksy

353

“Abe Lincoln” was painted on cardboard most likely using two separate stencils. Banksy, in fact, used the stencil for this portrait of Abraham Lincoln that he employed for his mural “Homeless Abe” (now destroyed), which was painted in September of 2008 in New Orleans, at the intersection of Cleveland and South Derbigny. The “Abe Lincoln” being offered here is from a “varied series of 3,” one of which sold at Sotheby’s on March 9, 2011, as lot 91. The Sotheby’s “Abe Lincoln” shows green spray painted pockmarks over Lincoln’s face and shirt, where this one does not; the whereabouts of the third variation is unpublished. Banksy visited New Orleans exactly three years after Hurricane Katrina struck the city in August of 2005. The dozen or so images Banksy painted throughout the city were meant to be social commentaries on the difficulties of rebuilding New Orleans and dealt with such issues as poverty and social displacement of the poor and disenfranchised residents of the city. The mural “Homeless Abe” depicted Abraham Lincoln pushing a basket with his belongings through the street.

Entirely hand-carved furniture related to 18th century examples continued to be preferred by those who could afford it, and was emphasized by Philadelphia firms like Allen and Brother and Daniel Pabst. By the 1880s industrial techniques and innovation overtook most Philadelphia cabinet shops, leaving a dwindling number of “cabinetmakers of reputation” such as Pabst. This superbly carved chair is a product of traditional craft techniques most notable in Philadelphia.

Note: This Late Renaissance portrait is inscribed by the artist with the sitter’s name, and also with his title as Preceptor General of his chivalric Order, represented on the painted shield of arms and in the enameled pendant which the sitter wears on a chain at the bottom of the image. Van Der Beeck is noted as having died on 19 October 1611, but the inscription, giving his age when the portrait was painted, has become indistinct. He is dressed in a very fine black silk suit, with collar and cuffs of white linen; he wears a quite elaborate ring, and holds a rosary beside several books. Lorenz Strauch was born in Nuremberg, and trained with his father, Hans Strauch (d. 1580); among images of many other prominent patricians of his city he is particularly celebrated for his portrait of the great goldsmith Christoph Jamnitzer (of 1597; Germanische Nationalmuseum). He is reliably said to have painted well over 100 portraits, including a signed and dated Self-Portrait of 1614, in the same museum. These paintings form part of the contemporaneous phenomenon (of c. 1570 to c. 1630) of a strong nationalist revival of interest in the work of Albrecht Dürer (14211528), “one of the most striking developments in European Mannerism.” References: Jeffrey Chipps Smith, “Strauch,” Grove Dictionary of Art, Jane Turner, ed., 34 vols., London, 1996, vol. 29, p. 762; Matthias Mende, “Durer Renaissance,” ibid., vol. 9, pp. 445447.

862. August Laux (French/American, 1847-1921), “Reclining Lady Holding a Parakeet”, late 19th c., oil on canvas, signed lower left, 12 in. x 16 in., period frame. $1000/1500 Note: The conceptual pendant to this opulent scene was Laux’s genre painting sold at Christie’s East, New York, on 20 November 1990, lot 47, as A Long-Awaited Correspondence (10 in. x 12 in.). That picture exactly reversed the composition of this present painting, but otherwise replicated all its compositional elements very precisely. It showed the same lady in the same pose, also with her head supported on one hand; the same recamier and upholstery; and the same large screen behind (though in this picture the screen is painted with scenes of Courtly Love, while in the previous painting its shorter panels were only indistinctly decorated). Both pictures exhibit the same crowded décor, with a draped table near the head of the couch, large vases of flowers, and the artistic accents (here, a Barbizon-style landscape; there, a cabinet of porcelains standing behind the foot of the recamier). The new elements introduced into the slightly expanded format of the present painting are the more luxuriant tropical plant, the colossal glass ewer, and the parakeet’s cage (its door opened), with a separate rug beneath. The palette here is rich, dense, and saturated, with the emphasis on the central color harmonies of pink, gold, and blue. Laux, born of French parents probably in Wiesbaden, emigrated with them to New York in 1863, and pursued courses at the National Academy of Design, at which he exhibited from 1870. After a decade as a fashionable New York muralist, he began painting pictures such as this around 1880, a style he continued to practice for the next forty years.

863. Follower of Francesco Hayez (Italian, 1791-1882), “Christopher Columbus with His Son Ferdinand”, probably mid-19th c., oil on canvas, unsigned, 56 1/2 in. x 45 1/2 in., original gilt frame with foliate corner elements. $1000/1500 Note: This large picture is in the fully historicizing mode of European Romanticism, of which Hayez was Italy’s greatest exponent. After studying in a variety of schools and academies in his native Venice, Hayez won a scholarship to Rome—where he became a disciple of the great sculptor Antonio Canova, and a friend of both the French painter Ingres (whom he bested in a competition of 1815) and especially

162

the German artists called the Nazarenes. From Rome he returned to the Veneto, and worked to increasing acclaim; he sent a picture of 1818-20 to Milan, where it and a canvas of 1821 were hailed as touchstones of the new Romantic painting; Stendahl declared him to be the greatest painter of his day. Moving to Milan in 1823, Hayez taught for decades at the Brera Academy, producing highly Romantic paintings with strong overtones of contemporary affairs, and becoming a friend of Giuseppe Verdi. In his time he was equally admired for his large-scale historicizing works, and for his fine portraits; the present exceptional canvas, strongly in his manner, combines both of these modes. If the present interpretation of the subject is valid (and it remains only a plausible hypothesis), we see the “Admiral of the Ocean Seas” in the Gothic hall of a castle in Spain during 1502, with his thirteen-yearold son Ferdinand presumably pleading to be allowed to accompany his father—as he did—on the latter’s fourth voyage to the New World. The Admiral’s pensive mood is to be imagined as stemming from the document seen on Ferdinand’s knees, which probably laid out the charges of injustice with which Columbus was arraigned in Hispaniola in 1500 (his ignominious passage in irons, back to Spain, was commuted to a royal welcome by the time of his arrival; but the dishonor still rankled). He is shown in the court finery which he habitually wore, and his son—by then a page of Queen Isabella—is even more richly attired; the Admiral wears a suspiciously 19th-centurylooking cap, and his large belt-buckle is decorated with a horseman trampling an adversary (unfortunately symbolizing the very excesses for which he had been indicted). Columbus and his son, who in the 1530s wrote the definitive account of his father’s accomplishments, sailed together in the final voyage on 9 May 1502: they returned to Spain on 7 November 1504; and on 20 May 1506 Columbus, whose health had broken, died at Valladolid.

874 874. An American Aesthetic Maple Faux Bamboo Half Tester Bed, c. 1880, New York, tester with turned finials and spindled frieze on turned posts, headboard with reticulated crest and panels, conforming foot board, bracketed rails, casters, interior width 56 in, height 103 in., length 80 in., width 56 in. $1800/2500 Provenance: Pollatsek-Reynolds family, New Orleans. Note: Introduced at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, the Japanese aesthetic greatly influenced late 19th-century American design. Most of this furniture in the Japonesque taste was produced by firms in New York working from French antecedents such as Victor Quentin’s Le Magasin de Meubles. Writing in the 1870’s Clarence Cook called the new faux bamboo style “capital stuff” for a country house. Among faux bamboo makers, Robert J. Horner established his furniture business in 1883 on East 23rd Street, New York, producing work to satisfy a variety of tastes including pieces in the Japonesque mode such as in this example and in the subsequent offerings. The two complete bedroom suites offered here furnished the bedrooms of sisters Sydonia Pollatsek (1878-1965) and Nina Pollatsek (1880-1968), daughters of music critic Adolph Pollatsek. Beginning in 1927 the family residence had been 1370 Moss Street in New Orleans, the c. 1800 Pitot House, then leased from the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. In 1946 The Pollatsek-Reynolds family built a replica of Pitot House down Bayou St. John at 800 Moss Street; the sisters resided at 800 Moss until their deaths, and the house was occupied by niece Constance Reynolds Green until her death in 2012. A variety of rare forms were assembled in the Pollatsek bedroom group, most notably this half tester bed, which was possibly made especially for the New Orleans climate.

The following group of five contemporaneous Victorian portraits is perhaps altogether unprecedented, as multiple likenesses of the same prominent New Orleans family, all portrayed at a single moment—1877/1878—by an important painter of the late nineteenth century. This concentrated ‘group-image’ represents the talented and successful family of Adolph Pollatsek (Lot 1036), his wife (Lot 1037) and eldest daughter (Lot 1040), as well as Adolph’s brother (Lot 1038) and sister (Lot 1039): its uniqueness derives largely from the skill of its painter, Bernard Moses, in simultaneously capturing five such highly disparate personalities. Adolph, the head of the family, was a consummately talented and experienced pianist, who in addition to his concert career was also editor and critic for the prestigious New York Musical Courier; among his eminent friends, for example, were Anton Rubenstein and Jan Paderewski, among many others. His wife was a native Louisianian, though born of German parents. Adolph, his elder sister Nina, and their younger brother Isidore, were all born in Hungary, where Adolph taught piano at the court in Budapest. The two brothers emigrated to America—perhaps together—immediately after the Civil War; their sister landed in New York in 1871, and all three may have stayed there for a brief period.

In 1872 Adolph and Isabella were married in New Orleans. Their first offspring is almost certainly the subject of the captivating image of A Child, Olga. The family home was at 1907 Canal Street (near Prieur), and was occupied until after the death of Isabella Hahn Pollatsek in 1927. Thereafter the grown children transferred to Bayou St. John, living first at 1370 Moss Street in the James Pitot House of c. 1799-1800, disassembled and rebuilt after 1964 in the Desmare Playground. The two spinster sisters Sydonia and Nina Pollatsek commissioned their nephew, Dr. J. Adolph Reynolds, to draw up plans in 1938 for an almost exact replica of the Pitot House, on the corner of Moss and St. Ann Streets, in which they installed these paintings as well as a multitude of other heirlooms. When those sisters died in 1965-1968, that last house at 800 Moss Street was inherited by their niece, Constance Reynolds, who had a long and brilliant career with the ballet corps of the New Orleans Opera. It was her own death last year at 95 that brought these very remarkable paintings onto the market, in the utterly unusual character of a single unified group.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale. 1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.” B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale. C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery. D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable. E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate. F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief. 2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.

3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same. 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item. 5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction. 6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder.
