Meeks. The chairs offered here bear similarities to these examples, but exhibit a number of details that are not found in the chairs made by Roux or by the Meeks firm. The chairs associated with these two cabinetmakers feature a slightly scrolled crest rail pierced with trefoils. The chairs in the current lot are distinguished by a shaped crest rail with “peaks” or points, inside of which are lobed fans. In place of the pierced trefoils is a kidney-shaped opening that serves as a hand grip. Additionally, moldings outline the ogee arches as well as the splats. This detail is not found on the chairs by Roux or by J. and J.W. Meeks. Features such as the hand grip and the lobed fan are found individually on chairs made by Charles A. Baudouine, including a set of forty-two rosewood chairs produced c. 1845 for the State Dining Room of the White House during the administration of President James K. Polk, and a pair of armchairs that were part of a rosewood parlor suite supplied in 1849 to Betsy Hart of Troy, New York. Ref.: Bucher, Douglas G., Stacy Pomeroy Draper et al.

323. Andres Molinary (American/New Orleans, 1847‑1915), “North Shore, Lake Pontchartrain (Fisherman’s Cabin)”, 1884, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 24 in. x 36 in., original giltwood frame. $60000/90000 Provenance: Walker Ronaldson, Jr., New Orleans, LA; D. Benjamin Kleinpeter, Sr. Collection, Baton Rouge, LA. Ill.: Pennington, E.C., Downriver: Currents of Style in Louisiana Painting 1800‑1950, Pelican Pub. Co., 1991, p. 139. Note: Known for painting a variety of subject matter, including portraits, landscapes, genre scenes, and still lifes, Andres Molinary embraced the realist style of Academic Art that was prevalent in late 19th century American painting. Although portraiture was his main source of income, Molinary was highly involved in many aspects of the art community in New Orleans, including working with photography and co-founding and teaching at the Southern Art Union and the Artists’ Association of New Orleans. Frequenting the F. W. Seebold salons, as well as starting the “Cup and Saucer Club,” which took place at his studio, Molinary’s acquaintances and friends included a diverse group of artists. Molinary was known for traveling outside of New Orleans and exploring the surrounding bodies of water – rivers, lakes, and bayous – to find interesting compositions for his landscapes. The landscape here depicts an idyllic scene by Lake Pontchartrain; two figures interact on the porch of a cabin while a third mends fishing nets near the edge of the water. The low horizon line, a large portion of the canvas devoted to the sky and clouds, and the central position of the cabin indicate a traditional composition favored by Academic artists, while the feathery brushwork of the clouds and the cypress trees in the background bring a slightly more contemporary feel to the painting. This is particularly true when comparing Molinary’s work to earlier landscape artists such as Richard Clague, whose painting style was more influenced by the French Barbizon School. An artist, a teacher, and an organizer of the arts community, Molinary’s varied interests were as diverse as his background – a Spaniard from Gibraltar whose travels took him through Italy, Africa, and Mexico, to finally settle in New Orleans. His colleagues worked in manners as wide-ranging as the Academic technique of classically trained Paul Poincy to the Impressionistic style of the Woodward brothers. Overall, this broad-minded approach served Molinary well in creating a well-rounded oeuvre, including portraits of prominent New Orleans citizens and beautifully detailed Louisiana landscapes such as the exhibition quality work offered here.

Smith, Jr., unknown photographer, 14 in. x 11 in., unframed, (3 pcs.) $10000/15000 Provenance: Family of the artist. Note: The two canvases offered here represent a brief but important moment in the career of Marshall Joseph Smith, Jr. Born in Norfolk, VA, Smith spent most of his early life in New Orleans and took his first art lessons from Adolphe Jacquet in 1866. In 1870, he became a pupil of Richard Clague, the city’s foremost landscape painter, who is credited as Smith’s greatest artistic influence. Following Clague’s death in 1873, Smith left New Orleans to travel Europe and study in Rome, where he completed the landscapes offered here. Inspired by his travels throughout Italy, each canvas reflects the technical expertise in composition that Smith undoubtedly learned from Clague, as well as highlights the artist’s skill in depicting water and foliage that can be seen in his famous Louisiana bayou scenes.

Note: Often referred to as “the brains of the Confederacy”, Judah P. Benjamin served as Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State to the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865. Born in the Virgin Islands, Benjamin immigrated with his family to Charleston, SC, where his father helped found the nation’s first Jewish Reform congregation. From a young age, Benjamin showed great talent and at the age of 14 enrolled in Yale University, where he studied law. Eventually, Benjamin returned to the South and settled in Louisiana, where he began a career as a prosperous attorney and later a US Senator. The photograph presented here is believed to be the earliest known photograph, and only known daguerreotype, of Judah P. Benjamin. By repute, the image was taken in the late 1840s, when Benjamin had settled in Louisiana and had begun his legal practice prior to his illustrious career in politics. Benjamin became the confidante of Jefferson Davis and architect of the Confederacy. Remarkably, Benjamin emerged unscathed and built a second career as a British barrister. Ref.: Evans, Eli N.

The two were commissioned by the St. Charles Hotel to paint murals for the hotel, both of which received much praise and critical acclaim. Griffith found inspiration in the architecture, waterways and people of the city and created a wonderful body of work while in New Orleans. The historic buildings and active daily life of the Vieux Carré were a favorite subject matter. The painting offered here is a brilliant rendering of St. Louis Cathedral. Several nuns and well-dressed figures walk through Jackson Square in the foreground. Griffith masterfully depicts the effects of sunlight and shadow with the foliage set aglow and the figures casting their long shadows. A beautiful example of American Impressionism, this dazzling, large composition depicts New Orleans’ most iconic locale and is one of Griffith’s most accomplished paintings of the city.

Note: This rare and important watercolor by Walter Anderson bears the following inscription in pencil en verso: “The dance is not always believably a dance but sometimes where the consciousness of being part of the dance permeates all action.” Anderson depicts two billy goats reared up on their hind legs, striking whimsical dance poses. Whether these goats were a product of the artist’s fertile imagination or actual dancing goats is not known.

353. Loïs Mailou Jones (American, 1905‑1998), “Portrait of a Haitian Woman Dressed in White”, 1959, oil on canvas board, signed and dated lower left, 20 in. x 24 in., framed. $8000/12000 Provenance: A New York Estate. Note: A painter who studied at many of Boston’s most prestigious art schools, Loïs Mailou Jones was a member of the Harlem Renaissance who helped bring attention to the art of countless African, African-American, and Haitian artists of the 20th century. After taking courses at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Boston Normal Arts School and exhibiting at the William E. Harmon Foundation, Jones received a fellowship to study at the Académie Julian in Paris. She later completed additional studies at Harvard, Columbia, and Howard universities as well. Developing friendships with artists and writers of various ethnicities and nationalities, such as Dorothy West, Langston Hughes, Céline Marie Tabary, and Louis Pierre-Noel (whom she would eventually marry), Jones became interested in African, French, and Haitian art and literary movements including Négritude and the Harlem Renaissance. She visited Haiti, France, and many African countries throughout her career and continued to advocate for artists of African and Caribbean descent. Almost twenty years after meeting, Loïs Mailou Jones and Louis Pierre-Noel were married in 1954 and began traveling to Haiti during the summer months. The work offered here depicts a 1950s Haitian woman in a white dress and hat, seated in a colorful interior - Jones’ palette had become bright and her paintings full of vitality since the beginning of her Haitian period in the 50s, no doubt reflecting the colorful and energetic character of the Haitian people she so admired.

Anne Wilson Goldthwaite (American/Alabama, 1869‑1944), “Young Nude Woman in a Hat”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 25 in. x 21 in., framed. $3000/5000 Note: Born in Alabama, Anne Goldthwaite always considered the South to be her home though she traveled extensively throughout her life and lived in both Paris and New York. At the age of twenty-three, Goldthwaite began art studies at the National Academy of Design. In 1906, she continued her education in Paris where, through her friendship with Gertrude Stein, she became acquainted with such notable artists as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. While in Paris, she joined a group of young artists who exhibited together each spring and founded the Académie Moderne. At the onset of the World War I Goldthwaite returned to the United States in 1913, where she participated in the famed Armory Show in New York of that year.

Though associated with many abstract artists, Goldthwaite’s artistic style, exemplified in the work offered here, remained more expressive with loose, artistic brushstrokes and recognizable subject matter. After returning to New York, she taught at the Art Students League for twenty-three years and worked as an advocate for both women’s and minorities’ rights. She painted many portraits of close friends, one of which may be the subject of the portrait offered here, and honed her skills at printmaking. Goldthwaite executed 320 prints between 1895 and 1942, with subjects generally relating to her paintings. An etching of 1929 features identical seated nude figure with hat.
Provenance: Jean Bragg Gallery, New Orleans.
Despite her active participation in the New York art scene, Goldthwaite returned home to Alabama every summer. It was there that she painted genre scenes of the South which furthered her national acclaim. Edith Halpert, owner of the Downtown Gallery in New York, gave Goldthwaite several one-woman shows between 1929 and 1934, one of which may have included the work offered here.

367. Walter Inglis Anderson (American/Mississippi, 1903‑1965), “Horn Island Landscape”, watercolor and pencil on paper, unsigned, estate stamp lower right, 8 1/2 in. x 11 in., framed. $4000/6000 \Provenance: Acquired Shearwater Pottery, Ocean Springs, MS, c. 1970. \Note: In the 1950s and 1960s, Walter Anderson would spend a great amount of time on Horn Island painting the flora and fauna. The composition here depicts a stand of golden rod with a tree trunk in the left background. The work shows how Anderson developed his paintings; first by sketching in pencil, then by creating an outline with watercolor. In this painting, Anderson utilizes the negative space to create the picture, filling in more color in certain small areas, a technique often found in this series of work. 366.

371. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Blue Dog Looking for a Home”, c. 1995, acrylic on canvas, signed lower right, 60 in. x 50 in., framed. $50000/80000 Provenance: Galerie Blue Dog, Carmel, CA. 370. Peter Max (German/New York, b. 1937), “Statue of Liberty”, 1992, oil on canvas, signed upper right, signed, dated and inscribed “12879” en verso, 72 in. x 36 in., unframed. $10000/15000 Note: Peter Max began his Statue of Liberty painting series in 1976 when he combined efforts with Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca to restore the iconic American monument.
Note: George Rodrigue made use of unique and repetitive motifs from his early oak trees to his Blue Dogs, however he was constantly refining and adapting these images throughout his career. The aspects that remained consistent as Rodrigue grew as an artist were his attention to strong design and his keen understanding and passion for color. In art school, Rodrigue’s professors described him as a “colorist,” an ironic title when one considers his dark early oak trees from the 1970s. Yet, in even his darkest canvases Rodrigue’s color palette is multifaceted. With his change from oil to acrylic paint in the early 1990s, the artist made his love for primary colors more obvious, and over the years, his canvases began to grow brighter and brighter. In the work offered here, the green background and yellow fluorescent halo surrounding the Blue Dog highlight the brilliant cobalt blue of the dog. Another interesting feature of this canvas is the slight modification to the shape of the Blue Dog. Rodrigue knew that by changing the elements of the dog’s face ever so slightly, the Blue Dog’s expression could vary, and the slight deviation of the proper right ear gives this Blue Dog a questioning, whimsical appeal perfectly befitting the playful (and appropriate) title.

372. George Rodrigue (American/ Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Through the Lavender Woods”, 1992, oil and acrylic on canvas, signed lower left, 20 in. x 30 in., framed. $20000/40000 Provenance: Galerie Blue Dog, Carmel, CA. Note: In the early Blue Dog painting offered here, George Rodrigue can be seen experimenting with the Louisiana landscape. In “Through the Lavender Woods”, the sky and ground are composed of expressionistic, vibrant and dynamic swirls of magenta, purple and blue, highlighting Rodrigue’s interest in color. The movement of these colors gives emphasis to the shapes of the Blue Dog and crescent moon and are broken only by the dark shapes of the trees. The moon serves to not only add a luminescent quality to the work, but it also is a symbol of a city that was increasingly important to the artist. From 1990 to 1992, Rodrigue’s newly-opened New Orleans gallery led to his growing fame nationwide, as the loup-garou of the mid-1980s and early 1990s transitioned on the canvas to the iconic Blue Dog seen in the work offered here.

Note: In this painting, Louisiana native and highly acclaimed artist Francis X. Pavy draws inspiration from the small city of Carencro situated near Lafayette. Derived from the Cajun French word for buzzard Carencro refers to the large flocks of buzzards that once roosted in local cypress trees. Pavy incorporated the stylized image of the buzzard flying across the evening sky.

376. Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912‑1997), “Cluster #1”, 1973, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, 69 in. x 104 in., original frame. $40000/60000 Provenance: William Sawyer Gallery, San Francisco, 1975. Exh.: Painting in the South: 1564-1980. Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond; Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama; National Academy of Design, New York, 1983-1984. Ill.: Kuspit, Donald, et.al., Painting in the South: 1564-1980. Richmond: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 1983, p. 328, fig. 159. Note: In the early 1970s, Ida Kohlmeyer emerged from Abstract Expressionism and began a style of expressive and vividly colored painting. The Cluster series was begun in 1973 and is characterized by a dominating grid form. Art historian Michael Plante notes: “the series represents the first style that was identified solely with Kohlmeyer, and she embraced it as expressive of her artistic aims.” By its title, Cluster #1, is seemingly the first painting created for this important series. A massive canvas which shows a grid five units wide and three rows tall, each square in the grid is similar in size and shape but is painted in a different color and with varying expressive gestural brushwork. The grid is supported and balanced by the white canvas around the forms, a characteristic of all of the Cluster paintings. Cluster #1 was curated for the seminal 1983 exhibition on Southern art, Painting in the South: 1564-1980 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. This ground breaking show,
which traveled to several prominent museums, was the first to comprehensively examine the art of the American South. Ref.: Plante, Michael.

Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery; New York State Museum, Albany; the Castellani Museum; the Burchfield-Penney Museum; Washington State Art in Public Places Collection; State of Florida Art in Public Buildings Collection; Absolut Vodka; and many others. The artist’s fascination with nature and the idea of art as a way to reconstruct the world is reflected in her work. Steinfeld is known for interweaving shapes and colors with imaginary organic forms, combining spatial relationships and exploring the microscopic.
In the work offered here, lot 729, Kononova unites an intriguing architectural element with a strong interest in formal composition. Her use of texture, a saturated palette and delicate glazes create a world of visual richness and subtly that in the artist’s own words: “… provoke the viewers into contemplating the ever widening gap between our civilization and the eternal world of nature through an exploration of the form of expansive landscapes and their juxtaposition with human-made interiors.” Ref.: “Bio”.

Note: The work offered here is a large bust version of the monumental sculpture of Abraham Lincoln that George Bissell executed for the city of Edinburgh, Scotland to commemorate Lincoln and the Scottish-American soldiers who fought in the American Civil War. Bissell, as well as Gorham foundries under his aegis, cast smaller models for the American public through the early 20th-century. The pose and somber sensitivity with which Bissell modeled Lincoln may well have influenced Daniel Chester French’s famous sculpture for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Bissell served in the Civil War as a private in the 23rd Connecticut Volunteers and as a Navy paymaster with the South Atlantic squadron. After the war, he joined his father’s marble business in Poughkeepsie, NY. He later went on to study sculpture at the Academy of Rome and Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Ref.: Falk, Peter, ed.

The firm continued to use Near Easterninspired styles in the design of its furniture and interior schemes until the end of the nineteenth century, as evidenced by the Turkish Room in the San Francisco residence of John D.

The reverse of the cabinet is stamped “182.” Many pieces of furniture by Herter Brothers are marked with either a three- or four-digit number. On November 17, 2012, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery sold as lot 15 a Colonial Revival tall-case clock impressed “Herter Brothers” and bearing a four-digit number. The case of the clock, like the étagère, appears to be a later work by the firm dating after 1885, indicating that Herter Brothers continued to number its furniture into the final years of its operation.

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 25 calendar days 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.

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.
