TEMPLE HEIGHTS

The handsome Columbus, Mississippi townhouse, Temple Heights, was built by General Richard T. Brownrigg in 1837. Brownrigg had moved his family from Edenton, North Carolina to Mississippi a few years earlier and bought a 2,000 acre cotton plantation several miles outside of Columbus. The design of the house was inspired by Brownrigg’s wife’s family home in Edenton, Mulberry Hill. The Brownriggs sold Temple Heights in 1847. It would change hands several times over the next 120 years. In 1967 Dixie Butler and her late husband, Carl, bought the then dilapidated property. The Butlers, both educators recently out of graduate school, undertook to restore the house, doing much of the work themselves. Not long after moving in, the Butlers opened the home for a candlelight tour for Columbus Pilgrimage. In a recent interview in the Columbus Dispatch, Mrs. Butler described that tour: “You can’t imagine what it looked like that first year. Fortunately everything and everybody looked better by candlelight”. The Butlers’ restoration of Temple Heights would be a labor of love spanning decades, during which they were advised by consultants John Webster Keefe, H. Parrott Bacot, James Del Prince and V.A. Patterson. They chose to preserve the 1830s character of the house, furnishing it with objects appropriate to the Brownrigg years, many collected in Mississippi and Alabama. Temple Heights is a Mississippi Historic Landmark, and is recorded in the Historic Buildings Survey and the National Register of Historic Places. Recognized as leading preservationists in Mississippi, Carl and Dixie Butler were instrumental in the creation of the Columbus Decorative Arts and Preservation Forum. In his 2002 article on Temple Heights for The Magazine Antiques, H. Parrott Bacot writes of the Butlers: “Their work should be an inspiration to others of modest means, showing that a restoration project need not be the exclusive bailiwick of millionaires”. Ref. Bacot. H. Parrott. “Living with antiques: Temple Heights, Columbus, Mississippi”, The Magazine Antiques, July 2002, pp. 96-105; “The Last Pilgrimage”, The Columbus Dispatch, April 5, 2015.

ROSEDOWN PLANTATION

“It is one of the most admired country estates in America and stands forth as a testament to its builders and the era which inspired it.” The Barrow Family of Old Louisiana, William Barrow Floyd

Rosedown Plantation was built by Daniel Turnbull (1796-1861) and Martha Hilliard Barrow Turnbull (1809-1896) in 1834. Well-educated and well-traveled, the Turnbulls collected throughout Europe and America. The house and its splendid collection would remain in their family through the Civil War, Reconstruction and two World Wars, passing to their daughter, Sarah Turnbull Bowman (1831-1914) and son-in-law, James Pirrie Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952). Photo Courtesy of the Collections of the Louisiana State Museum. Bowman (1832-1927), then to their unmarried Bowman granddaughters. After the death of the last granddaughter, Rosina, the property was put on the market. The group of Rosedown objects presented in this catalogue was inherited by the Turnbulls’ great-great-grandson, William Johnston Fort IV. It encompasses fine furnishings and decorations as well as period household objects. Highlights are the octagonal center table and two chairs from the famous “Henry Clay” suite of bedroom furniture purchased from Crawford Riddell of Philadelphia in 1845. By tradition the suite had been commissioned by supporters of 1844 Presidential candidate Henry Clay to be presented to him after his election; when Clay was defeated by James K. Polk, it was sold to the Turnbulls instead. The “Henry Clay” suite was comprised of an armoire, bed, dressing bureau, cheval mirror, two washstands, six chairs and an octagonal table. The existence of the octagonal table was, for many years, known only to the Turnbull/Bowman/Fort family and a few scholars. It is a truly exciting decorative arts discovery. Neal Auction Company is honored to be entrusted to present this important group of furnishings, decorations and artifacts from Rosedown, which has descended in the Turnbull/Bowman/Fort family to the present day.

MASTERWORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF D. BENJAMIN KLEINPETER, SR.

D. Benjamin Kleinpeter is descended from early settlers of Louisiana. The first Kleinpeters arrived in 1774 at Bayou Manchac . They moved to higher ground not long after, receiving in 1787 a Spanish land grant for four hundred arpents in what is today East Baton Rouge Parish. Mr. Kleinpeter ‘s interest in antiques began with Louisiana-made duck decoys and grew to include Louisiana paintings, furniture and related decorative arts, notably Newcomb pottery. Objects from the collection have been published in Furnishing Louisiana, Newcomb Pottery & Crafts, Collecting Passions and The Magazine Antiques. Neal Auction Company is pleased to offer select objects from the D. Benjamin Kleinpeter collection. Ref. Bacot,H. Parrott et al. Furnishing Louisiana; Poesch, Jessie. Newcomb Pottery & Crafts.

Parrott. “Living with Antiques: The Sebastian Louis Kleinpeter House in Baton Rouge, Louisiana”, The Magazine Antiques, April, 1991.

Neal Auction Company is pleased to present property from the collection of a distinguished French gentleman who maintained a residence in the Vieux Carre for many years. The collection focuses primarily on Louisiana art of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, including paintings, photography and Newcomb pottery, all selected with a connoisseurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye.

In 1800 Wister inherited the family’s country 1744 residence “Grumblethorpe” in Germantown, PA, believed to be the first example of a residence constructed as a summer home for a Philadelphia merchant and included eight acres of land comprising gardens, orchards and crops. An avid gardener with a passion for the natural sciences, Wister began to rigorously develop the garden and farm in 1806, exploiting new developments in horticulture. By 1811, Wister retired to Grumblethorpe as his permanent residence, devoting time entirely to his interests in agriculture, botany, mineralogy, and astronomy. He was a founding member of the Twilight Club, which was responsible for developing the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. The multiple “specimen” drawers in the cabinet featured here are most certainly to meet Wister’s specifications for his extensive natural history collection. Ref.: Susanin, Jay Davidson. Grumblethorpe: An Historic Landscape Report, master’s thesis written for the in Historic Preservation, University of Pennsylvania (1990), pp. 26-38; Moss, Roger W. Historic Houses of Philadelphia.

Note: The emergence of this very important Crawford Riddell center table directly from Turnbull family descendants illuminates further the known body of work from Riddell and the extent of the Gothic Revival furnishings at Rosedown. Among the furnishings from Riddell in the reknowned “Henry Clay” bedroom, the armoire, now held by the Louisiana State Museum, has stenciled labels of Riddell in two drawers. The monumental bed is collected at the Dallas Museum of Art (Acc. No. 2000.324); the dressing bureau is at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Acc. No. 200.165); a rosewood table with columnar support and base nearly identical to that seen here is at the Brooklyn Museum of Art (Acc.

167. Richard Clague (French/Louisiana, 1816‑1878), “Streetcar Tracks”, oil on canvas, signed lower left, canvas stencil en verso, 24 in. x 34 in., original gilt frame. $120000/180000 Provenance: Property of an Uptown New Orleans Lady. Exh.: Tulane University President’s House, No. 2 Audubon Place, 2002‑2015. Note: This important painting by French-born artist Richard Clague depicts his distinctive technique and painting style, which defined the Louisiana landscape school of painting, and portrays a unique glimpse into life in New Orleans at an exciting time when streetcars were becoming a prominent form of transportation. In 1860, New Orleans was home to the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company, which ran horse or mule-drawn streetcars along four routes throughout the area in the “American” Quarter above Canal Street. Before the implementation of the street railway system, the people of New Orleans relied on the omnibus lines (a horse-drawn carriage system) to traverse the city. The population rise in the 1850s soon led to the need for a more efficient way to transport a growing community. Between 1861 and 1873, the number of New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company street railways increased from four lines to nine lines; over one hundred street cars ran along these tracks. By the early 1870s, experimentation with steam power had begun in order to provide an even faster streetcar that did not rely upon horses and mules for power, and in 1890, the last remaining mule car line was shut down as the electrification of the streetcar lines began. While Richard Clague is known for his Louisiana landscape scenes, particularly in the post-Civil War years, this significant painting, which can be dated to approximately 1870 due to the more rural location of the streetcar tracks and the mule-drawn streetcar far at the end of the tracks near the vanishing point of the composition, depicts a rare look into the everyday life of New Orleans. The addition of streetcar tracks in rural areas would have afforded people a more expedient way to get to the center of the city, providing them with opportunities for jobs and an efficient way to travel. Clague’s Barbizon-influenced painting style captures the beauty of the Louisiana landscape, including the traditional elements of oak trees with moss against a flawless blue sky, while adding more modern elements of houses, fences, and tracks, making this painting one of the most interesting and exceptional works in his oeuvre.

168. William Aiken Walker (American/ South Carolina, 1838‑1921), “House along the Gulf Coast”, 1870, oil on paper, signed and dated “Oct. 28(?), 1870” lower left, “Sotheby’s…, New York, Dec. 18, 1991, lot 63” labels en verso, 6 3/4 in. x 9 1/2 in., framed with artist plaque. $20000/30000 Provenance: Private Collection, Savannah, GA. Note: To be included in John Fowler’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné of William Aiken Walker. Note: William Aiken Walker kept only one journal or day-book throughout his long career, during the period of his two-month sojourn in Cuba beginning on December 15, 1869. Following his last entry there, of February 13, 1870, he sailed shortly afterward for Charleston and New York; he also possibly made his only visit to Europe, presumably that spring. At the end of the year, an undated clipping from the Baltimore Sun recorded his European trip, and also that Walker “contributed two original pictures” to “the Exhibition.” Since a parallel clipping of December 1871 refers to another such show as the “second annual” exhibition of Baltimore artists, the presumption is that the earlier clipping may have been published in December 1870. An example of the two “small paintings” that Walker presented in that show is named by the newspaper as “One of the Attractions of the Sea Shore” (it represented a girl on a rock, gazing out to sea). Apart from these anchors of JanuaryFebruary and December, Walker’s life and works are undocumented for the entire remainder of 1870. Thus the fine and unique painting offered here affords both an important new date in Walker scholarship, and also the quite unexpected revelation that he was in fact enjoying the Gulf Coast on its inscribed date of October 28, 1870.

174. William Henry Buck (Norwegian/New Orleans, 1840‑1888), “Cattle Grazing beside a Cabin among Live Oak Trees”, oil on canvas, signed and inscribed “Wm. H. Buck, N.O.” lower right, 18 in. x 30 in., framed. $125000/175000 Note: William Henry Buck created the most expansive known body of work depicting the Louisiana landscape in the 19th century. There is a masterful quality to the best paintings: the subtle luminosity, exquisite brushwork, and keen attention to detail of place and landscape. The work offered here is one such example. An accomplished depiction of a rural Louisiana landscape, the composition is unusual for Buck with its use of a diagonal perspective where the road leads to a building barely perceptible on the horizon line. A dense and fulsome tree line of mossladen live oaks dominates the composition. An Acadian cabin sits in the center of the painting with an African-American figure seated in the doorway, overseeing the cows grazing in the idyllic pasture.

175. William Aiken Walker (American/South Carolina, 1838‑1921), “Bringin’ in the Dory”, 1895, oil on academy board, signed and dated lower left, pencil inscribed “$5.00”, partial “F.W.

Hicklin, Jr., Inc., Spartanburg, SC” label en verso, 6 1/8 in. x 12 1/4 in., framed with artist plaque. $40000/60000 Provenance: The Warner Collection of Gulf States Paper Corporation, Tuscaloosa, AL; Robert M. Hicklin, Jr., Inc., Spartanburg, SC; Private Collection, Savannah, GA. Ill.: Seibels Cynthia. The Sunny South: The Life and Art of William Aiken Walker. Spartanburg, SC: Saraland Press, 1995, fig. 81, p. 161. Note: In this well-documented Florida scene of 1895, William Aiken Walker’s brilliant command of composition and meticulous attention to detail perfectly depict the bank of the Halifax River in Ponce Park. Setting it apart from Walker’s other Florida nature studies and coastal landscapes, “Bringin’ in the Dory” incorporates the figure of a fisherman and the architecture of the coast. The result is a captivating concentration on the subtle vertical accent of the figure at the center, offset by the upward diagonal of the sailboat to the left, artfully reflecting an answering curve in the twin palms on the right-hand side. The painting presents a masterful blue-gray harmony of water and sky, shirt and planking, sail and roofs, all held in a moment of visual balance. The structures in the middle distance are the buildings of the Pacetti House, built in 1886 and run by B. C. and Martha Pacetti and their children. Walker became such a seasonal fixture of the hostelry that he acted as its receptionist, using its front office as a painting studio, and becoming an intimate companion of the often quite prominent patrons who frequented Pacetti House. The work offered here, perhaps more than any other of his coastal paintings, establishes Walker as a preeminent artist of the American landscape. Ref.: Seibels, Cynthia and Robert M. Hicklin Jr..

Benjamin Kleinpeter, Sr., Baton Rouge, c. 1980. Ill. Holden, Bacot, et. al. Furnishing Louisiana, Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735‑1835. New Orleans: Historic New Orleans Collection, 2010, p. 177, fig. 67. Note: The armoire was the most significant furniture form in the French colonies, from Canada through the Mississippi River Valley down to Louisiana and the French West Indies. In Louisiana beginning in the early nineteenth century, cabinetmakers were producing armoires in a distinctly Creole style, which was a rather unique integration of French and Anglo-American styles. This shift was a result of the sudden influx of émigré craftsmen as well as a growing demand for refined furniture by Louisiana’s increasingly wealthy population. The armoire offered here clearly demonstrates the new cultures that were essential in forming the Creole identity of New Orleans: the unmistakably French paneland-frame construction, the West Indian restrained surface decoration and mitered joints, and the finished interiors and incorporation of inlay most often used among Anglo-American cabinetmakers. The use of cherry primary wood, inlay of stylized acanthus and a pinwheel rosette, scalloped-and-spurred skirt, and interior belt of drawers on this armoire closely relate to two other well-known examples. The distinctive group of Creole style armoires exhibit sophisticated design employing complex stringing, the aforementioned acanthus at the center stile terminals, and apron form. Other related armoires in this group include an example from the Ellender family of Terrebonne Parish, also in the Kleinpeter collection, and an example descended in the Stauffer family of New Orleans and Avery Island. The armoire offered here has sophisticated chamfered corner stiles extending to the cornice and hoof terminals on the cabriole legs making it the most refined of the group. Ref.: Holden, Jack, et al.

The handling of the legs, incurvate plinth, and hairy paw feet are directly related to the French Classical taste in America introduced by Charles-Honoré Lannuier and Duncan Phyfe.

Vail, in the Baton Rouge Daily Advocate, announcing their recent opening of a Daguerreotype studio: “Their rooms are tastefully decorated by many charming views from the pencil and brush of Mr. Persac.” In his definitive monograph of 2000 on the artist, H. Parrott Bacot notes that “the ‘charming views’ cited in the advertisement were doubtless small watercolor, gouache, and pen-and-ink sketches…” Bacot continues, “This group of paintings includes…two southern landscapes (as indicated by moss-draped trees) … These watercolors appear to have been executed over a broad period …between 1856 in Baton Rouge and c. 1867…in New Orleans,” since two are labeled with an address at 130 Canal Street where Persac worked in the mid-1860s. (It might further be noted that Persac won prize competitions for exactly comparable works in New Orleans in 1867, 1869, 1870, and 1871, and that he presented at least one such work as well at an exhibition in France in 1868.) Bacot concludes his biographical essay with the observation that “a third-generation descendant of Adrien’s older brother, Marie-Amédée, has no less than seven Louisiana landscapes done by Adrien” (still in France): the present sheet is very possibly one from that group. Persac’s few published works have concentrated on some two dozen large panoramic views of south Louisiana plantation houses and their grounds, all executed between c. 1852 (at the earliest) or (more probably) 1857, and 1861: almost all were dated by the artist, and all are larger than the present drawing. All, without exception, are painted as rectangles. Indeed, the conspicuous oval shape immediately distinguishes this composition: it is emphatically not the “portrait of a place” (like the artist’s precise rectangular renderings); but rather a more imaginative recombination of ‘Acadian’ motifs, suggestively brought together to evoke a familiar landscape. Of its elements that are repeated in the dated drawings, the most striking is the short Y-shaped tree exactly at the center: precisely the same tree is seen in Persac’s rendering of Bois de Flèche Plantation, dated “1861.” The pirogue is again present in Persac’s view of Albania Plantation, once more dated “1861;” the buildings are approximated in his early image of Daigre House (of the 1850s), while the chickens are repeated in some half-dozen of his topographical views, executed between 1857 and 1861. (On the other hand, the very prominent pigs, uniquely appropriate to this riparian landscape, are decisively distinguished from Persac’s many renderings of sheep on plantation lawns, as for example in his images of Manchac 1857, Hope 1859, or Magnolia 1861.)

190. José Francisco Xavier de Salazar y Mendoza (Mexican/Louisiana, 1750‑1802), “Portrait of a Louisiana Gentleman”, 1801, oil on canvas, signed, dated and inscribed “J. M. Salazar, pinxit, Nova Aurelia, 1801” lower right, 36 1/4 in. x 27 in., antique gilt frame. $40000/60000 Note: Little is known concerning the early life of the artist José Francisco Xavier de Salazar y Mendoza. What is clear is that by 1782, when Salazar had arrived in New Orleans from the Yucatán, he was already a mature artist – as evidenced by the portraiture he created during the next two decades featuring Louisiana’s most prominent civic, military and religious elite. Of the fifty-three known works attributed to Salazar, only thirteen are signed and even fewer are additionally inscribed. From the “Portrait of Abraham Kortright Brasher,” signed, dated 1800, and inscribed “New Orleans,” and the “Portrait of James Mather, Mayor of New Orleans,” signed and dated 1802, it is clear that Salazar was actively painting in this city even during the year of his death; it is not surprising, therefore, to find this portrait of a New Orleans gentleman dated to 1801. While the New Orleans gentleman in this painting remains unidentified, a relatively common occurrence among Salazar paintings, there are several prominent families living in or near New Orleans in 1801 with gentlemen of the approximate age of our sitter. Three candidates - based on age and prominence within the Louisiana community with connections to Salazar through family portraits should be examined as likely sitters for the portrait offered here: Andry, de la Vergne and Roman. (1) Bernard Noel Manuel Andry (1758-1839), who was born in New Orleans, owned a plantation in what is now LaPlace, Louisiana, near the site of the ill-fated 1811 German Coast Slave Uprising. Andry lived on his plantation in St. John the Baptist Parish and was a frequent visitor to New Orleans, where he met and married his second wife, Josephine Trudeau, whose father, Carlos Laveau Trudeau, was a well-known surveyor in New Orleans who owned property in the French Quarter. The portraits of Carlos Trudeau and his wife, in the collection of Tulane University, are among the finest of the paintings attributed to Salazar. Salazar is also known to have painted portraits of two of Trudeau’s other sonsin-law, Thomas Urquhart and General James Wilkinson (sold Neal Auction Company, November 2013, lot 465). (2) Count Pierre de la Vergne (1760-1813) was born in France and came to New Orleans as a member of the French Royal Military. Settling in Louisiana, he married Marie Elizabeth du Verjé (also spelled du Vergier) de Marie, the widow of Jacques Verret, in 1780. The couple had a son, Hugues de la Vergne, in 1792. Paintings illustrated in Louisiana Portraits depict both Countess Marie Elizabeth de la Vergne, attributed to Salazar circa 1792, and Hugues de la Vergne, painted by A.D. Lansot in 1838. (3) Jacques Etienne Roman (1748-1811) lived in Opelousas, where he greatly profited from his sugar plantations and cattle ranches. He married Marie Louise Patin and had six sons and one daughter. Three of the six sons followed in their father’s footsteps and became prosperous plantation owners. The daughter, Josephine, married Valcour Aime, one of the greatest sugar planters of the time. Their sons also became leading sugar planters in Louisiana – the oldest, Andre Bienvenu Roman, later became the ninth governor of Louisiana, and the youngest, Jacques Telesphore Roman, built the famed plantation Oak Alley. These three distinguished figures represent likely candidates for the identity of the sitter here, a man undoubtedly of prominence with the means necessary to procure a likeness by the most admired portraitist in colonial Louisiana.

Andres Molinary (American/New Orleans, 1847‑1915), “Le Chemin des Chapitoulas”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, typewritten label reading “Mrs. Boullemet, 2625 St. Charles Ave” en verso, 18 in. x 30 in., period frame. $30000/50000 Note: Bayou Tchoupitoulas (derived from the Indian tribe “Chapitoulas”), located between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, centered historic plantations and farms. Today it is the location of Metairie Ridge and Road in Old Metairie. Land closer to the lake inevitably took longer to develop since the swampy areas had to be carefully cleared and drained. In this beautifully rendered painting, Andres Molinary focuses on a dredger working to make the canal in Bayou Tchoupitoulas more navigable. On the shore, an African-American fisherman with his skiff at the ready and pole in hand meets with his wife. Molinary was known for traveling outside of New Orleans and exploring the surrounding bodies of water to find interesting compositions for his landscapes.

Note: Noted Mississippi artist Marie Hull painted a series of portraits of sharecroppers and tenant farmers during the mid to late 1930s. These were the years of the Depression and her society portrait commissions in Jackson had ebbed. Within this series of portraits, Hull depicts several men whom she painted repeatedly. The work offered here depicts the same sitter as in Tenant Farmer, c. 1935, in the Roger Houston Ogden Collection in New Orleans. Hull shows the man sitting on a porch, wearing a blue shirt that matches his piercing blue eyes, his arms crossed in his lap. As Hull often does in this series of portraits, she prominently depicts the rural landscape and the farmer’s home in the background. With skill and sensitivity, Hull paints these men with empathy and respect while hiding nothing about the difficulty of their circumstances.

Los Angeles: Goldfield Galleries, 1980; p. 143, cat. no. I.327 Note: This splendid picture appears to be an astonishing discovery and is almost certainly one of the first dated paintings by the twenty-four year old Sonntag, one of the best-known and most celebrated artists of the Hudson River School. The artist’s signature, with its date of “1846,” is in the same position, handwriting, and paint color as appears on his 32 x 48 inch canvas “Scene on the Ohio River” of 1852 (Moure 1980, p. 126, no I.373, color plate 9). The unusually large and dramatic composition of the work offered here exemplifies the unabashedly Romantic style which characterized the painter’s first independent decade. Sonntag derived much of his earliest manner from a devoted study of Thomas Cole (1801-1848), the celebrated American master. Over the course of his painterly beginnings, Sonntag found rugged landscapes fully as wild and evocative as those of Cole. His itinerant career first took him throughout famously picturesque regions of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, into which his most natural access was the Licking River, likely depicted here, whose tortuous course winds directly southeast from Cincinnati to its source in the heart of the Cumberland range of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1846, after receiving a contract from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to record the landscape along the rail route, Sonntag opened a studio in Cincinnati, his home from 1823 to 1853.

This painting is all the more rare in that Sonntag’s subsequent paintings of the later 1840s—as is known from an American Art Union exhibition to which he contributed in 1850—are mostly quite small. The only known exceptions are two nearly comparably large pictures dated 1850, “Duck Hunters on the Ohio River” and “In the American Wilderness.” The present painting, lot 221, which pays homage to previous painters both living and already apotheosized, testifies to both Sonntag’s youthful talent and his inspired investigation of the sublime.

Note: A French artist well-known for his paintings of genre scenes and animals, Henri De Lattre made two extended trips to North America. On his first trip from 1836 to 1840, De Lattre is known to have traveled to Canada and Philadelphia, where he briefly studied with Edward Troye (Swiss/Kentucky, 1808-1874), the talented painter of American thoroughbred horses. Returning to the United States in 1849, De Lattre established himself in Philadelphia as an equestrian artist and completed a series of sensitive depictions of horses. The artist provided illustrations of horses for several sporting publications, including Horses of America in 1857 and volume one of Wallace’s American Stud Book. From 1849 to 1854, De Lattre exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York City, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore and the Paris Salon in France. In the work offered here from 1854 (one year prior to the artist’s return to France), De Lattre locates his animals and two figures in the foreground, framing them within a quintessential American landscape of grassy hills under an expansive sky. The horses and cattle display the sophisticated understanding of equine anatomy and graceful movement that characterized the artist. Ref.: Reuter, F.

253. Abbott Fuller Graves (American, 1859‑1936), “Courtyard at 726 St. Peter St., New Orleans”, c. 1927‑1928, oil on canvas, unsigned, extensively labeled en verso, 24 in. x 20 in., original Carrig‑Rohane Shop giltwood frame. $25000/35000 Provenance: Vose Galleries, Boston, MA; A. Everette James, Jr., Nashville, TN; Sessions Hootsell, Natchez, MS; Dr. James Nelson, Gonzales, LA; Private Collection, New Orleans, LA. Note: Abbott Fuller Graves (1859-1936) was an influential Boston painter known for his floral garden scenes painted in a colorful, Impressionistic style. Not fond of the cold New England winters, Graves traveled to different tropical locales during that time of year. He visited New Orleans during the winters of 1927 and 1928 and was inspired to paint the courtyards of the Vieux Carré. The work presented here is a lovely example of one such scene; a painterly view with the effects of sunlight and shadow rendered very skillfully. Graves depicts the courtyard at 726 St. Peter Street, the present site of Preservation Hall and a very historic locale. Graves painted another view of this courtyard which is conserved in the Historic New Orleans Collection (accession no. 2014.0053.1) that includes many of the same compositional elements such as the olive jar, wine jug and colorful flowers but is rendered in a different perspective. The work offered here is a bit more sublime with the figure walking through the archway and the crumbling masonry of the façade rendered to romantic effect.

Anderson’s lifetime interest in the natural world is well known, through the thousands of watercolors and linocuts he made of specimens and landscapes from Cat Island and nearby retreats. Mary Anderson Pickard observed that images from the natural world, “affirmed his conviction of the inexhaustible beauties of nature, and encouraged the habit of close observation” for her father. The linocut prints, geometric and carefully planned by necessity of the medium, emphasize the rhythms and patterns of nature though Anderson’s close observation. After their 1933 marriage, Walter and Sissy Anderson began collaboration on an illustrated book of poetry to be called Butterflies, with verse from Sissy accompanied by linocut prints from Walter. One surviving bit of text is as follows: Amongst the blossoms in and out \ One seldom sees the curious snout \ To a wise man one might compare \ The butterfly for he is rare. Though Butterflies was never completed as conceived, this textile was created soon

afterward and incorporates Anderson’s iconic linocuts into an unified masterwork. Thanks to Leif Anderson and Mary Anderson Pickard for their assistance.

This painting, executed in 1916, while consistent with Woodward’s impressionistic style, is distinctive, and evocative of a New Orleans atmospheric rainy, humid day.

280. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Blue Dog Bowl”, 1994, cameo glass, produced in collaboration with the Pilgrim Glass Company, limited edition number “35/35”, date and Pilgrim Glass mark etched on base, h. 5 in., dia. 9 in. $7000/10000 Note: While best known for his vibrant canvases, George Rodrigue enjoyed working with a variety of unexpected media throughout his career. Between 1993 and 1995, Rodrigue collaborated with the renowned Kelsey Murphy and Pilgrim Glass in West Virginia to recreate his Blue Dog image in cameo glass. Cameo glass is produced by etching and carving through fused layers of differently colored glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque figures and motifs on a dark-colored background. The layered pieces are then sandblasted to reveal, as in the case of the rare work offered here, the artist’s raised design. The nationally renowned expert, Kelsey Murphy has elevated both the technical and aesthetic elements of cameo glass in America over the last three decades. Murphy’s work was featured in Artistry in Glass: Cameo Glass by Kelsey Murphy at the New Orleans Museum of Art in 1995, and a bowl from this series was included in NOMA’s Rodrigue’s Louisiana: Forty Years of Cajuns, Blue Dogs and Beyond Katrina in 2008. Rodrigue’s collaboration with Murphy resulted in three bowls and a vase, each in an edition of thirty-five, and as was the case with many of the unique Blue Dog creations, most of them remained in the artist’s private collection. 279.

290. Paul Ninas (American/New Orleans, 1903‑1964), “Spanish Colonial Buildings, probably Havana, Cuba”, oil on mixed media on masonite, signed lower right, 24 in. x 36 in., framed. $8000/12000 Note: Paul Ninas was one of the pioneer modernists of the South, often described as the “Dean of Modern Art” in New Orleans. Active in New Orleans from 1932 until his death, Ninas was extensively well traveled, having spent time in Europe, Africa and the West Indies. The two years prior to his arrival in New Orleans were spent on a coconut and lime plantation that he owned on the island of Dominica. In December 1940, the Delgado Museum in New Orleans presented a major Picasso exhibition organized by the Museum of Modern of Art. The show certainly made an impact on Ninas, for his work becomes increasingly abstract from this point forward. The painting offered here is a beautiful example of a Spanish Colonial streetscape, depicted in a bright primary Fauvist palette with rectangles of color under an anthropomorphic sky. In some of the abstract elements of the composition, Ninas has incorporated some mixed media, something he was continually experimenting with in his work of the 1940s and 50s. He also chose to delineate the details of the doors and balustrades which help identify the unique architecture and provide a sense of place and context to the painting.

José Jesús Francisco Zúñiga Chavarria (Costa Rican/Mexico, 1912‑1998), “Mujer Sentada”, 1974, watercolor with pastel on paper, signed and dated lower right, 19 in. x 26 in., framed. $7000/9000 291.

Note: Francisco Zúñiga, a Costa Rican painter, engraver and sculptor, began his craft at a young age under the tutelage of his father, Manuel María Zúñiga, a gifted sculptor in his own right. The younger Zúñiga began his studies at the School of Fine Arts in San Jose and moved to a specialty program in stone carving at La Esmeralda in Mexico City, where he served as a faculty member until his retirement in 1970. Zúñiga is best known for his sensitive portrayals of the culture and regional life of Central America. His images of women and children often reflect both a deep admiration and respect for the people and his own heritage. In “Mujer Sentada”, a young woman is seated with an expression of contemplation. Zúñiga describes this “squatting” pose, a characteristic figural stance in his work, as “a very natural position, a physical pose close to the earth…it is a native position of the prehistoric cultures, and it interests me because this form of culture still has not been lost.” Zuniga received several highly regarded public and private commissions both in Central America and internationally. Today, Zúñiga’s works can be seen in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Mexico; the Phoenix Art Museum; Harvard University; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Note: By the mid-1970s, Ida Kohlmeyer had adopted the grid form that would dominate the paintings of her Clusters series. This series represents the first style that was solely identified with the artist and consists of a grid of variously colored rectangular elements, similar in shape and size, surrounded by a white border. The Clusters afforded Kohlmeyer the opportunity to experiment within her grid with automatic drawing, an element which would define the series and the artist as much as her characteristic use of color. The series drew critical acclaim for Kohlmeyer, and, in her words, embodied “my whole voyage through years of searching for a personal visual statement.” By the late 1970s, Kohlmeyer transitioned into a sequence of Clusters titled the Circus paintings. With the Circus paintings, Kohlmeyer multiplied the number of symbols exponentially, greatly increasing the color saturation and heightening the comparison of her canvases to a unique, pictorial language. The monumental Circus work offered here from 1978 is an example of how each rectangle reduced in size becomes a miniature painting unto itself that interacts with the others within the grid to create an overall composition which lends itself to contemplation rather than interpretation.

320. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Cajun Cooking with the Spirit of Tiffany”, 1991, oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, titled and dated en verso, 24 in. x 36 in., framed. $40000/60000 Note: In “Cajun Cooking with the Spirit of Tiffany,” Rodrigue seamlessly blends his Cajun and Blue Dog series and styles, creating a seminal moment for the artist. The figures and the Blue Dog are painted equally in rendering and in scale, allowing the dog to become “something else” and foreshadowing its future in the Blue Dog series. Throughout his career, Rodrigue used friends and family as models for his paintings, just as he used familiar oak trees and bayous for his landscapes. In the work offered here, the Cajun chef is represented by Dwight Stroud of Stroud’s Shady Oaks in Abbeville, and later, Stroud’s Steakhouse in Lafayette. Traditional Acadiana is embodied by the figure of Evangeline, and the universal Blue Dog, which has roots in the French-Cajun loup-garou and is based on photographs of the artist’s studio dog, Tiffany. All these elements combine to represent modern-day Cajun culture within a distinctive Rodrigue Louisiana landscape. Ref.: Rodrigue, Wendy. Musings of an Artist’s Wife. www.wendyrodrigue.com.

326. Leonard Theobald Flettrich (American/New Orleans, 1916‑1970), “Abstraction”, oil on masonite, signed en verso, 30 1/4 in. x 30 in., original frame. $1200/1800 Note: A prominent New Orleans artist often compared to his contemporary, John McCrady, Leonard Flettrich studied at the Arts and Crafts Club School under Paul Ninas, prior to being accepted to the Art Students League in New York. Upon returning to New Orleans, Flettrich became an instructor at the Arts and Crafts Club School and also taught the fundamentals of drawing at Tulane University’s School of Architecture. Flettrich became well-known for his figurative works, which included sensitive portrayals of New Orleans society, and exhibited his work nationally during the late 1940s and 1950s. He earned mural commissions from the New Orleans Public Library and Jefferson Parish Courthouse and was actively involved in the community throughout his life. Following a national trend toward abstraction in art, Flettrich experimented with the style during his later years, resulting in paintings such as the work offered here. The vibrant and richly painted “Abstraction” is a wonderful example of Flettrich’s skill with composition, color and form.

Oakes, Warren, OH. Note: The shaped skirt with applied foliate decoration and the dolphin supports on this table are very similar to those on a well-known group of tables attributed to John Henry Belter, most notably a center table in the parlor at Rosalie, Natchez. Interestingly, the very fine table offered here has knees carved more elaborately with shield cartouches than those on the Rosalie example. Other tables from this group include an example also from the Service Collection, sold in these rooms as lot 183, Jan. 31, 2015; Neal Auction Company lot 290, sold on Sept. 8, 2012; lot 116, sold on April 16, 2002; and lot 268 sold on Oct. 6, 2007 and center tables in the Hurst and Manney collections.

Exceptional American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Étagère, mid‑19th c., attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, crest centered with a federal shield surrounded by floral cascades, arched mirrored back, shaped graduated mirrored shelves, lotus‑carved supports, serpentine marble top, leaf and floral carved base, acanthine turned feet, h. 90 1/2 in., w. 58 1/2 in., d. 16 1/2 in. $20000/30000 Provenance: Neal Auction Company, Oct. 11, 2008, lot 391. Note: This étagère exhibits the overall form and specific ornament related to several well-known examples attributed to John Henry Belter. The shelves, carved supports, and shaped plinth are very similar to those of the “Rosalie” étagère in the Service Collection. The mirror moldings are identical to those on a console conserved by the New York State Historical Society. The broken pediment which is the underlying form for this uniquely carved crest is similar to that in a figure and bird carved étagère, also in the Service Collection, sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 175, Jan. 31, 2015. The Federal shield and laurel wreath centering the crest on the étagère is a singular motif in Belter’s oeuvre, and recalls the “Founding Fathers” busts adorning an important ebony and ivory center table in the New York Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1853 and later in the Manney Collection. The exceptional proportions and subject matter incorporated into this lot suggest this étagère was a notable commissioned piece, either for a patriotic collection, a public building, or an international exhibition.

Lee” appear in the inventories of New Orleans furniture purveyors Calvin Chandler Simpson, John Yetter, and William McCracken in the years leading to the Civil War.

376. Rare American Patinated Zinc Equestrian Group of Andrew Jackson, 19th c., Cornelius and Baker, Philadelphia, after the 1853 original in Washington, DC, by Clark Mills (American, 1810‑1883), stone shaped base marked “Patented, May 15, 1855”, h. 22 1/8 in., l. 19 in., w. 8 1/2 in. $15000/25000 Note: Mills is considered one of America’s first sculptors. Born in upstate New York, he ran away from home at the age of 13, eventually settling in Charleston where he began to work as an ornamental plasterer and sculptor. Initially he was hesitant to enter the contest for the Jackson Sculpture commission, fearing he was neither qualified nor experienced enough. Mills was awarded the Jackson commission based in part on the success of his bust of the revered South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun (1782-1850). To prepare for the sculpture’s production, Mills practiced by casting large-scale bells. He eventually sold the design rights to the prominent Philadelphia firm of Cornelius and Baker (in partnership 1851-1861), a company known for its lighting fixtures and one of the pioneers in zinc casting. The company’s skills are readily evident in this rare patinated zinc reduction. The technique was so advanced and innovative that Cornelius and Baker had the process patented. Examples of Cornelius and Baker Jackson sculptures are in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., the Tennessee State Museum, the Morris Museum in Georgia, the Virginia Museum of Art in Richmond, the New York Historical Society, the Andrew Jackson Historical Park Museum in South Carolina, and The White House.

457. Charles‑Jean‑Baptiste Colson (French, c. 1810‑1851, act. New Orleans 1836‑1837), “Pendant Portraits of an Elegant New Orleans Husband and Wife”, 1837, oil on canvas, each signed, dated and inscribed “New Orleans” upper right, artist supply stencil en verso of wife, 36 1/4 in. x 29 in., original frames. $12000/18000 Provenance: By descent in the family of Mrs. Charles D. Richardson; Didier, Inc., New Orleans, Nov. 9, 1996. Note: After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts and in the studio of Baron Antoine-Jean Gros (1771-1835) in Paris, Charles Colson, like many French portraitists, decided to travel to New Orleans, where likenesses by French artists were in great demand. In November of 1836, Colson and his sister, Honorine Colson St. Clair, arrived in New Orleans from Le Havre on the Salem with a group of artists including the leading portraitist in New Orleans at the time, Jean-Joseph Vaudechamp (1790-1866). Colson’s two other known portraits from his time in New Orleans, Creole Woman and M. Carti, are held at the Louisiana State Museum. These two works and the two rare paintings offered here from 1837 display Colson’s neo-classical painting technique, combined with the soft, smooth brushwork and romantic poses he had acquired from his training with Gros. In particular, the treatment of the silk, jewelry, and bonnet of the female portrait from this pair are extremely well rendered. Colson portrays the wife’s clothing, the height of c. 1835 European fashion, impeccably; her gigot sleeves that tighten at the wrists, hairstyle parted in the center with ringlets framing the face, and bonnet adorned with lace, flowers, and a large bow under the chin are all on par with the styles being worn in Paris and London in the mid-1830s.

Note: John McCrady’s paintings of the South are often compared to those of other American Scene masters such as John Steuart Curry, Grant Wood, and Thomas Hart Benton. McCrady depicted images of everyday life in America with serious iconic effect. In “Ghost of the Evening,” McCrady conveys religious sentiment through form and color, reaffirming the traditional spiritual values common to his later work through a compositional combination of an Arts and Crafts bungalow and a Gothic church. The juxtaposition of the buildings with McCrady’s characteristic storm clouds and anthropomorphic shadows create a dramatic and mysterious view of a New Orleans neighborhood. Ref.: Marshall, Keith.

522. Robert Gordy (American/ Louisiana, 1933‑1986), “Head (RGE‑120)”, c. 1982‑1986, mixed media on canvas, unsigned, inscribed “RGE‑120” lower edge, 49 1/2 in. x 38 in., framed. $6000/10000 Provenance: Arthur Roger Gallery, New Orleans, Nov. 15, 1995. Note: Robert Gordy is best known for combination of both decorative and narrative elements in a flat pictorial space, which include a repetition of shapes in similarly-hued colors. Prior to 1981, the artist would occasionally paint a strong central figure, however these were not a dominant feature in his work at that juncture. Following his 1981 retrospective at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Gordy began to experiment with a looser, more direct style that featured the head as his main subject matter, ultimately completing an exciting new body of work. Realized in a variety of media, the heads have a three-dimensionality and painterly quality not previously seen in Gordy’s paintings, with a heightened sense of tension through careful cropping of the image. In the large-scale work offered here, the geometric planes of the face combined with the artist’s visible brushstrokes create a visual patterning in almost transparent washes of color that is particularly successful.

959.

Among his father’s circle of friends was Frederic Church (18261900), one of the leading American landscape painters of the day, who took the young Palmer as a pupil. Under Church’s tutelage, Palmer gained a keen understanding of the richness and beauty of nature and how to capture its splendor in oil and watercolor.

961. Emilio Sanchez‑Perrier (Spanish, 1855‑1907), “The Path by a Grove of Trees”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 17 in. x 24 in., framed. $6000/8000 Provenance: Dr. Edward J. Gonczy, M.D., Hillside, NJ, acquired New York, c. 1955; thence by descent. Note: Emilio Sánchez-Perrier studied at the School of Fine Art in Seville and the San Fernando School of Art in Madrid before moving to Paris in 1880, where his works were greatly influenced by the Barbizon School and subsequent Impressionists, while studying under the artists Félix Ziem and Auguste Boulard. The influence of these styles is clearly visible in the majestic landscape offered here. The composition is distinctly Barbizon in its predilection of the plein air study of natural scenery over the Neoclassical tradition that painted indoors as backdrops for dramatic events. Here, the drama is nature; the focal point, much like in the work of Barbizon artist Rousseau, is a grove of craggy trees accentuated by a path “less traveled” along a mountain hollow. In lieu of Barbizon reverse lighting (darker foreground offset by a luminescent background), Sánchez-Perrier plays upon the airier palettes of the Impressionists, visible in the cerulean blue of the sky and the painterly rendering of the lavender flowers as purple dots in a field of Siena brush, to capture the same hazy atmospheric perspective as the Barbizon painters.

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 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. 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.
