Neal Auction Company is pleased to offer important furniture and other period objects from the collection of historic preservation consultant and antiquaire Robert Smith of Breaux Bridge, LA. Smith rescued the Henri Penne House and several other dependency buildings from various early 19th century plantation sites in Acadiana, assembling them on a nine-acre property near Breaux Bridge to recreate a Creole plantation. Meticulously restored and set in a period-appropriate garden based on that at the Academy of the Sacred Heart Convent in Grand Coteau, the property is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

The esteemed H. Parrott Bacot, in his 1988 article in The Magazine Antiques, writes: “The Penne house complex affords a rare glimpse into the sort of setting that might commonly have been lived in by … Louisiana Creole planters in the 1820’s and 1830’s. The rich collections of Louisiana-made decorative arts have been appropriately fleshed out with objects imported from France, the East coast and England, as was the practice in early nineteenth century Louisiana.”

Smith began collecting early Louisiana objects shortly after graduating from architecture school in 1970, inspired by his Acadian, French and Spanish Louisiana colonial ancestry. He was guided early on by his friend and mentor, the Jeanerette antiquarian Carrie Wolford. Smith’s collection would grow to encompass 18th and 19th century Louisiana furniture as well as vivid examples of material culture, including a rare Acadian loom and related textiles.

In fact, Smith is generally acknowledged to have one of the finest extant collections of Acadian textiles.

Robert Smith is shown below in the June 1991 Southern Accents article “A Dream Among the Ruins, which describes his “’highly realistic fantasy’ of nineteenth century French life in the New World.”

98. Levi Wells Prentice (American/New York, 1851‑1935), “Still Life of Two Baskets of Peaches”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 11 in. x 16 in., framed. $4000/6000 Provenance: Taylor Clark, Fine Prints, Paintings and Framing, Baton Rouge, LA, 1986.

Note: Self-taught artist Levi Wells Prentice began his career painting landscapes in the Adirondack Mountains. It was not until his move to Brooklyn in 1883 that he created the first of his celebrated still life paintings. From there, he developed his characteristic style of hard line, hyper-realistic works of fruit, typically apples, spilling forth from containers onto wooden tabletops.

In the lot offered here, Prentice painstakingly depicts lush peaches lying haphazardly on a table as if recently tumbled from their simple wooden basket. The artist’s impressive ability is showcased in the interplay of the details of the fruit, leaves, and the highly texturized surface of the container.

Note: The 1950s marked a shift in Aaron Bohrod’s artistic style. While originally employing much looser brushstrokes and focusing on grander scenes of quintessential American life, Bohrod shifted to the tight precision of trompe l’oeil paintings, a style he was so successful at executing that his works would often be accompanied by insistent “do not touch” signs when on exhibition.

In the lot presented here, Bohrod’s exquisite attention to detail is on full display in the crisp quality of this trompe l’oeil still life of two toy horses. The work is almost photographic in terms of composition, with a close crop on the figures pinned amongst paint blobs and cutout graphics, the whole of which coalesces into a cryptic shrine invoking childhood and its associated frivolity.

199. George Bauer Dunbar (American/New Orleans, b. 1927), “Untitled”, 1960, clay, silver leaf and mixed media on board, signed and dated en verso, 11 in. x 11 in., original frame. $2000/3000 Note: After World War II, while studying in art in Philadelphia during the week, George Bauer Dunbar would spend his weekends in New York surrounded and influenced by the likes of Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Willem de Kooning. “He wanted his art to possess a sense of tactility and manifest a reverence for organic materials that he did not see in the art of the New York School. Dunbar discovered that through natural materials like metal and clay, he could take Pollock’s drips and dribbles of paint and Kline’s stark calligraphic abstractions, and give them their own sentience.”

Dunbar took what he learned in Philadelphia and New York and brought it back to New Orleans, where he joined forces with other like-minded local artists such as Lin Emery and Robert Helmer to form the Orleans Gallery, which is credited with introducing abstract and contemporary art to the region. Dunbar, in particular, excelled in melding local aesthetics with what was at the time a national art movement. “His gilded abstractions brought unfamiliar art terms into the fold of New Orleans art, and did so in a way that blended seamlessly with New Orleans’ stately historical homes and heavily patinaed local portraiture.”

It is his focus on texture and the idea of chance throughout his artistic career that has driven an interesting evolutionary arc in his works: starting out with the gilded layered clay pieces from the 1950s and 60s, then moving on to his highly improvised rag series and clay torso reliefs, all the while punctuated by his perfectly smooth and technical geometric clay surfaces.

In the lots offered here, we are treated to a veritable mini-retrospective highlighting several milestone eras in Dunbar’s long and prolific oeuvre.

Note: The central figure in this compelling lithograph, who has been identified as former Newcomb dean Pierce Butler, looms ominously over the graduates in the background, with sharp teeth revealed as though to devour the students.

Caroline Durieux often used satire to reveal her thoughts on people in powerful positions, and this work is not her only example critical of “the grandeur of academia.” In From Society to Socialism: The Art of Caroline Durieux, it is stated: “While the artist admittedly benefited from the training and rigor of the institution, she often found the pedagogical environment repressive.” Perhaps for this reason, she depicted the students dwarfed in comparison to the architecture and the dean.

The work was exhibited at the Triennale of Milan exposition in 1897, and it proved quite popular, allowing the artist to finally gain recognition for his exceptional talent. As Ashton Rollins Willard describes the piece in History of Modern Italian Art, “his face as well as his shirt of mail and his battered shield were of that strange archaic type which sends a shiver through one’s muscles by its almost uncanny evocation of a forgotten past.” The monument which was inaugurated in 1900 still stands in Legnano today.

Note: The early Acadian trestle or “treteau” table was modeled after the common 18th century French work table, as evident from illustrations in Denis Diderot’s Encyclopédie. The table offered here was found in the Thibodeaux Cormier residence in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Practical in use with lightweight legs, the trestle table could be easily moved for various tasks. Intact examples, such as this table, are very rare.

Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735‑1835. The Historic New Orleans Collection: 2010, p. 252.

Note: The cypress table here was found in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. The form of the table is an example of the continuous influence of classic French styles from the 17th and 18th centuries on Acadian furniture. This table is clearly Louis XIII in style but dates to the earlier part of the 19th century, evident by the table’s construction.

After the Acadians arrived in Louisiana in the 18th century, they remained in relative geographic isolation, which fostered the continuation of classic French forms in Acadian furniture.

Note: Edith Sansum’s family moved to New Orleans shortly after her birth. Her parents, who were originally from Barbados, had seven children and lived in the Uptown area, where Edith’s father, Oliver Baker Sansum, practiced law. From the age of sixteen, Sansum began studying art, excelling in both sketching and oil painting, for which she was awarded medals from the Black and White Club and the Artists’ Association of New Orleans.

Studying with noted New Orleans artists such as Helen Maria Turner and Julia Massey, Sansum eventually became an art instructor, teaching private lessons from her parents’ home. After the year 1901, Sansum seems to have abruptly abandoned her art career, turning to clerical work. However, her lovely still life paintings and landscapes, such as the current lot depicting a cabin in rural Louisiana, attest to Sansum’s artistic talents.

343. William Henry Buck (Norwegian/Louisiana, 1840‑1888), “Louisiana Pastoral with Wooden Bridge”, 1883, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, 18 in. x 30 in., period frame. $125000/175000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist by Mr. and Mrs. Aristide Hopkins, New Orleans and Biloxi; thence by descent in the family.

Note: Aristide Hopkins (1839-1925) and his wife, Mary McNeil Hopkins (1847-1908), were avid collectors and patrons of the arts. As close friends of William Aiken Walker, the couple was introduced to a variety of portrait, landscape, and genre scene painters, and their house on Esplanade Avenue (now the Fisk-Hopkins-Schwartz Home at 730 Esplanade) was filled with works by Louisiana artists such as William Henry Buck, Richard Clague, George Louis Viavant, and Achille Perelli.

Aristide Hopkins worked at Merchants’ Mutual Insurance Company on Canal Street; he was an agent for Baroness Pontalba and managed properties within the city. During the Civil War, Hopkins served as a Lieutenant in the Louisiana Cavalry (New Orleans Light Horse) and after the war, he and Mrs. Hopkins maintained homes in both New Orleans and Biloxi.

Collected by the Hopkins’ amongst other important landscapes and nature mortes, the lovely scene in the current lot displays Buck’s characteristic skill with Louisiana flora and fauna, including majestic oak, pine, and cypress trees laden with Spanish moss. A student of Clague, Buck developed his skills on plein air sketching excursions with his mentor and artists such as Andres Molinary and Marshall Joseph Smith, Jr. These trips, many along the shores of Lake Pontchartain, were undoubtedly influential on the development of Buck’s use of lighting effects and evocative atmosphere. The arrangement of the landscape offered here, on the edge of a lake with a curving wooden bridge, is a rare example of an asymmetrical configuration that beautifully guides the viewer’s eye around the canvas.

The composition, with the inclusion of a picket fence on the left, a farmer and his dog crossing the bridge, and cattle grazing in the background, suggests a farm just beyond the trees and hints at a bucolic narrative. The reflective surface of the water adds an additional element of light and highlights the natural bend in the geography. The painting also includes hints of the Barbizon tradition in the luminous sky, and the loose brushwork that forms the reeds and bushes in the foreground, combining overall into a classic naturalistic view of the Louisiana landscape dating from the height of Buck’s career.

344. Richard Clague (French/New Orleans, 1816‑1878), “Bay Jaune (Fishing Camp on Pilings)”, oil on canvas, signed lower left, 16 1/4 in. x 24 1/4 in., period frame. $80000/120000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist by Mr. and Mrs. Aristide Hopkins, New Orleans and Biloxi; thence by descent in the family.

Note: The delicately placed fishing camp over water that Richard Clague chose to depict in the work offered here is a rare, intriguing composition that remains today enduring and timeless.

The low horizon and expanse of sky direct the eye to the structure of the camp, and the viewer is drawn to the red brick chimney in the center of the painting. The attention to detail in the barrel and small figure on the porch of the camp are characteristic of the artist’s best work and are contrasted against the vastness of the landscape surrounding them.

Clague must have visited the camp several times to sketch and paint the scene; a study of this exact view can be found in one of his sketchbooks now in the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art. As on many of Clague’s drawings, he jotted down the location of the scene, and his notation “Jaune” on the study for this painting reveals the fishing camp was situated on Bay Jaune. Bay Jaune is located just off Lake Pontchartrain near the present city of Slidell, which was not founded until 1882 and would have been a small, rural community during Clague’s time. Aristide Hopkins, who acquired this painting from Clague, owned homes in both New Orleans and Biloxi and was known for inviting artists to both locations; Bay Jaune is directly en route between the two cities.

360. Alice Ravenel Huger Smith (American/South Carolina, 1876‑1958), “Herons in Flight”, watercolor on board, signed lower right, “Whatman’s Water Color Boards” printed en verso, 16 3/4 in. x 21 3/4 in., framed. $20000/30000 Provenance: Acquired from the artist, Charleston, SC, c. 1936; descended in the family.

Note: One of the main figures of the Charleston Renaissance, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith is best known for her scenic depictions of Charleston and her captivating views of poetic marshes such as the work offered here. The vast expanses of surrounding waterways, swamps and vegetation were an endless source of inspiration. Smith painted almost exclusively in watercolor from 1924 onward, finding the medium most advantageous to achieving the atmospheric effects she sought in her landscapes. In this work, Smith captures the mystical aura of the South Carolina Lowcountry through her particularly vibrant use of color to represent the foliage and water, accented by the white of the graceful, long-limbed birds taking flight.

362. Charles Giroux (French, 1828‑1885, act. New Orleans, 1868‑1885), “Lake Pontchartrain”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 6 1/2 in. x 11 3/4 in., framed. $15000/25000 Provenance: Carol Bowsky, New Orleans, 1962; Jay P. Altmayer Family Collection, Mobile, AL. Note: A charming example of Giroux’s distinctive landscapes, this depiction of Lake Pontchartrain exemplifies the artist’s skillful brushwork and adept use of color. The scene along the shore exhibits moss-laden trees and a small cabin with figures. The luminous skyline is beautifully painted, while the inclusion of cypress knees extending from the water adds an element of texture to the water’s surface.

363. John Wesley Jarvis (British, 1781‑1840, act. New Orleans, 1821‑1834), “Portrait of Samuel Chambers Bell (b. 1805), husband of Eulalie Longer (b.

1811), New Orleans”, oil on canvas, unsigned, artist stamp en verso (now obscured), 30 in. x 25 in., antique frame. $3000/5000 Provenance: Descended in the family of the sitter.

364. Jean‑Joseph Vaudechamp (French, 1790‑1866, act. New Orleans, 1831‑1839), “Portrait of a Louisiana Gentleman, possibly a member of the Delacroix family”, 1832, oil on canvas, signed and dated upper right, pencil‑inscribed “Madame De la Croix”, handwritten label and inscription “M. Lefevre‑Foinet” en verso, 32 in. x 25 1/2 in., period frame. $8000/10000 Note: Likely one of Vaudechamp’s earliest New Orleans canvases, the current lot portrays a dashing young man in fashionable attire. Known for painting many members of the wealthy and important families of New Orleans, Vaudechamp often went to his clients’ homes in the city or their plantation properties to have family members sit for his portraits.

The background in the current lot, with its low horizon, greenery, and stormy sky, is extremely similar to the portrait of William Charles Cole Claiborne II, painted in 1831.

The Lefebvre-Foinet shop in Montparnasse was known as the premier supplier of artists’ materials in Paris. Begun in 1880 by Paul Foinet, and joined later by his son-in-law, Lucien Lefebvre, the two men and their descendants operated the business for over one hundred years and amassed a great collection of art over that time period.

365. Important Louisiana Inlaid Mahogany Armoire, early 19th c., inlaid flared cornice and cartouche frieze, paneled doors centered by an inlaid Federal eagle, shelf interior with a medial belt of drawers, turned legs, brass ball feet, h. 85 in., w. 57 in., d. 23 in. $40000/50000 Provenance: The Charbonnet Family of New Orleans.

Ill.: Holden, Jack D., et. al. Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735‑1835. The Historic New Orleans Collection: 2010, pp. 42 (inlay), 191.

Note: The Creole inlaid armoire in this lot descended in the Charbonnet family of New Orleans.

In the sophisticated Federal style, the armoire features string inlay, brass ball feet, beautifully figured mahogany, and a central pictorial inlay portraying the Federal eagle.

Eagles featured on American Federal furniture were likely inspired by the Great Seal of America, adopted in 1782. Louisiana gained statehood in 1812 and Creole armoires in the Federal style commonly featured the inlaid Federal eagle, possibly in recognition of Louisiana’s newly minted admission into the United States.

Note: Jeremiah Theus, the self-proclaimed “Limner of Charles Town,” created portraits, landscapes, and coats-of-arms from circa 1740, when he first advertised in the South Carolina Gazette, until his death in 1774. Known primarily as a portraitist, he painted the most prominent families across the Province of South Carolina.

Theus, who was born in Switzerland, immigrated with his family to South Carolina in 1735; very little is known of his schooling, although his technique has been compared to the school of Franz Lippoldt (1688-1768) and to the contemporary painter, Elias Gottlob Haussman (16951774).

The current lot exhibits many elements of Theus’ early style of painting, including the waist-length pose, the upright positioning of the figure, the soft brushwork of the face, and the accessories. Theus is known to have based many of the figural poses and clothing in his paintings on English mezzotints; therefore, many of his sitters have similar dresses or poses. For example, in Theus’ portraits of Sarah Parker Lowndes, Elizabeth Allston Lynch, and Susannah Holmes, all three ladies wear a dress based on a 1752 mezzotint of Elizabeth, Duchess of Hamilton, although Theus did make alterations to personalize each portrait.

Similarly, the young lady in the current lot stands in the exact pose and an extremely similar dress to Theus’ portrait of Catherine Elliot. The Elliot family were generous patrons of Theus, having large portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Barnard Elliot painted, along with smaller portraits of their son and daughters. The girls’ faces, particularly Catherine’s, are similar in features to the girl in the current lot, conjecturing if perhaps our sitter is a sister or cousin in the Elliot family.

Note: The sugar trade has long been an important element of the Louisiana economy, from the introduction of sugar cane to the New Orleans area in the 1750s to today, when Louisiana is presently the second largest sugar producer in the country. For both the culinary and economic benefits of the cane sugar business, much recognition and gratitude is indebted to Antonio Mendez, the first to successfully create granulated sugar in colonial America. Although Etienne de Boré is well known for his large-scale production and commercialization of granulated sugar, the efforts of Mendez, as well as Josef Solis and Antoine Morin, are often overlooked in the history of cane sugar.

Sugar cane, which is indigenous to Asia, was first brought to the New World by either the Spanish or the Portuguese in the late 1400s, and the first harvest occurred in 1501 on the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic). Over the next two centuries, the crop was successfully planted throughout the Caribbean islands and South America, and in 1751, Jesuit priests visiting Hispaniola brought samples back to Louisiana and planted them.

In 1759, Joseph Dubreuil built a sugar mill and attempted to granulate sugar without success; by the 1780s, cane was widely planted for chewing and for producing “taffia,” a rum-like liquor widely imbibed by the citizens of Louisiana. It was thought that the growing season in Louisiana was too short and cold to produce adequate crops for granulation. However, Josef Solis, who had come from Saint-Domingue, planted Otaheite, a more common and heartier variety of sugar cane. Antonio Mendez, whose Magnolia Plantation in Terre aux Boeufs (now St. Bernard Parish) was adjacent to Solis’, eventually bought much of Solis’ lands and sugar crops, and hired Antoine Morin, a Haitian sugar maker who had fled Saint-Domingue during the revolution, to attempt to produce granulated sugar.

The account of their success in finally granulating sugar is given by J.B. Avequin, who wrote in the Louisiana Sentinelle de Thibodeaux, “He made but a few small barrels of sugar, and it is certain that he experimented also in refining them, for in 1792, Mendez presented to Don Rendon, who was then Intendant of Louisiana for Spain, some small loaves of sugar refined by him. It required one of these little loaves to sweeten two cups of coffee.”

In 1794, Etienne de Boré, seeing the destruction of the Louisiana indigo crops due to an insect infestation, decided to invest in sugar cane and bought a large quantity from Mendez and Solis.

He planted these crops on his plantation on the Mississippi River (now the location of Audubon Park), and hired Morin to help produce the sugar. From this crop, he created sugar in large enough quantities to earn $12,000 and convinced more plantation owners to invest in sugar cane. De Boré’s success certainly bolstered the sugar industry in Louisiana, however, Mendez and Morin’s experiments in sugar refining were undisputedly seminal.

Don Antonio Mendez arrived in New Orleans in the 1780s upon accepting the position of Procurer de Roi (Attorney General) for the Spanish Colonial government of Louisiana. He quickly purchased land grants and built a home known as Magnolia Plantation in the early 1790s; several notarial acts of 1794 and 1795 mention this particular structure. Later in his career, Mendez became a clerk at the Cabildo and was appointed parish judge of St. Bernard Parish by Governor William C. C. Claiborne.

Mendez married Felicité Ducret on March 25, 1790 in St. Louis Cathedral, officiated by Father Antonio de Sedella (known to the New Orleans community as Père Antoine). The couple had six children, two of whom were depicted with their parents in a family portrait, also by Salazar, sold in these rooms, December 4, 2004. In the individual likeness of Mendez offered here, Salazar uses the half-length format within a painted oval similar to his portraits of other notable figures such as Major General James Wilkinson, Daniel William Coxe and Colonel Thomas Butler, Jr. Although history books have sometimes overlooked the contributions of Mendez, Morin, and Solis in favor of the story of Etienne de Boré, the Mendez family always sought to correct that impression. Don Antonio Mendez’ daughter, Magdalena Theresa Mendez Landier, told her daughter until her dying day: “Dire que c’est mon père qui a fait le premier sucre en Louisiane.” (Tell everyone that it was my father who made the first sugar in Louisiana).

“Zimpel was a young Prussian aristocrat who soon established a lucrative career in the city as a surveyor, engineer, and architect. His tastes were mainly classical, in keeping with the style in vogue in both Europe and America. He was highly successful in those areas in which he was trained and, for a short time, became deputy surveyor and chief engineer for the city. In 1833 he laid out and developed the City of Carrollton. Perhaps his most important achievement was the detailed map of New Orleans he produced in 1834.

Dissatisfied with the quality produced by the lithographers in New Orleans, he sent his original drawing back to Germany. On the return trip the lithographic stone and reproductions were lost at sea, making the Zimpel map a collector’s item. As chief engineer of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railway, which ran from Canal Street to Carrollton Avenue along Nayades Street (now St. Charles Avenue), he got involved in land speculation. Having little experience in this area, he soon fell into debt and fled the city.

After only seven years of working in New Orleans, he returned to his native Prussia.”

Zimpel also designed and oversaw construction of several important buildings in New Orleans during his tenure here, three of which are shown in vignettes above his map: the Bank of New Orleans, City Hotel, and the Orleans Cotton Press.

Only six copies of the Zimpel map have been located, five of which are housed in institutional collections.

Note: One of thirteen children, Octavius Trezevant was born in Scotland to Peter and Elizabeth Willoughby Trezevant in 1810. He married Maria Dorothea D’Argain y Belgrano, a Spanish woman born in Buenos Aires, in London in 1841. The couple had seven children by 1855; between 1855 and 1860 the family moved, along with at least two of Octavius’ brothers, to the United States. While his brothers settled in South Carolina, Octavius and his family moved to New Orleans, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Octavius had become a physician while in Scotland and continued practicing in New Orleans until his death in 1865.

The Daily Constitutionalist of Augusta, GA, reported Dr. Trezevant’s death on November 4, 1865. A fatal knife wound was the cause of his death, and a full account of the incident is reported in James G. Hollandsworth, Jr.’s book, An Absolute Massacre: The New Orleans Race Riots of July 30, 1866.

In the two letters that accompany this painting, Edith Booth references the Trezevant miniatures, which she acquired through the Estate of Theodore Matthias’ eldest son, Charles Edward. In both letters, she discusses the shipping arrangements to send to the miniatures to the United States.

Note: In 1884-85, William Aiken Walker painted several scenes such as the one offered here, with deacons, parsons, or other caricaturized African-American figures attempting to find the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition. The 188485 Cotton Expo celebrated the earliest-surviving record of export of a shipment of cotton from the United States. The fair took place in New Orleans, the home to the Cotton Exchange, and included exhibits and artwork from around the country and the world. Walker painted many small genre scenes that he sold as souvenirs during the Exposition.

387. Charles Giroux (French, 1828‑1885, act.

Altmayer Family Collection, Mobile, AL. Note: The attention to detail in this jewel-like and beautifully painted scene reflects Giroux’s skillful technique, exhibiting minute brushstrokes that create the small figures and architectural aspects of the houses. Giroux’s work offered here is extremely similar to a larger painting in the Maxim Karolik collection at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (acc. no.

47.1144) and includes the same road and tree along a river, although the scene is reversed. The addition of a steamboat along the horizon line is a lovely touch and gives the viewer an idea of what everyday life along a river would have been like in late 19th century Louisiana.

George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Catahoula Lake Fisheries”, 1976, oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, titled, dated, “George Rodrigue Gallery, Lafayette, LA” and artist stamps en verso, 24 in. x 36 in., original frame with artist and title plaque. $20000/30000 Note: By the mid-1970s, George Rodrigue had gained a reputation for his scenes of Cajun folk-life, resulting in an expanded clientele and book opportunity with Oxmoor House, publisher of Southern Living Magazine in 1976. The large format book, The Cajuns of George Rodrigue, featured images of more than one hundred paintings with George’s detailed descriptions in both English and French. These paintings followed in the footsteps of his first painting with figures, “Aioli Dinner” of 1971, now on view at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Each scene included the distinctive oaks of his first landscapes with the added inclusion of structures, figures and narrative elements.

In the 1976 canvas titled “Catahoula Lake Fisheries” offered here, a figure is seen in the doorway of a fishery, with a distant building behind, and pirogue prominently placed on the lake. Catahoula Lake, a duck hunting mecca, is located in Rapides and Lasalle parishes due north of Lafayette and is the largest freshwater lake in Louisiana, home to many camps and lodges. In Rodrigue’s depiction, the high horizon line emphasizes the dark and foreboding feeling of the water which dominates the composition.

While most likely completed following the publication of The Cajuns of George Rodrigue, this painting is among the best of this period and is a rare work by the artist as it includes a specific locale named within the scene.

415. Louisiana Carved Mahogany Tall Post Bed, early 19th c., cove molded later tester, finely turned vasiform and blocked posts, paneled headboard with back-scrolled crest, plain rails, conforming turned feet, h. 89 1/2 in., l. 75 1/2 in., w. 48 in. $7000/9000 Provenance: The Devillier Family, Leonville, St. Landry Parish, LA. Ill.: Holden, Jack D., et. al. Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735‑1835. The Historic New Orleans Collection: 2010, p. 382.

Note: The Creole mahogany bed in the lot offered here was originally owned by the Devillier family, who came to St. Landry Parish, Louisiana from the island of St. Domingue. Many aspects of the bed suggest a West Indies origin, such as the tall-paneled headboard and shorter posts in comparison to most Louisiana tester beds. However, the bed’s other decorative features, namely the ring and vasiform-turned posts would suggest a Louisiana origin. This blend of Louisiana and Caribbean features, in addition to European influences on the overall form, is the defining attribute of what often indicates Louisiana Creole furniture.

Note: The corner cabinets offered here are comparable in form to cabinets made by renowned New York maker Duncan Phyfe. Featuring marble tops, highly figured mahogany, flared cornices, and blocked feet, these cabinets share the same aspects as a Phyfe secrétaire à abattant in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When John Laurence Manning, who served as governor of South Carolina from 1852 to 1854, and his wife Susan Hampton Manning completed their palatial Greek Revival residence at Millford Plantation in 1841, they commissioned Duncan Phyfe to furnish the entire home.

Many of the pieces remain in the home today, or are held in prestigious collections such as the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ref. Kenny, Peter M. et. al. Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmaker in New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art: New York, 2011, pp. 144-151; 230-231.

432. American Federal Carved Mahogany Games Table, early 19th c., in the style of Samuel McIntyre, serpentine foldover top with outset corners, rope molded frieze, basket of flowers above front acanthus carved spiral turned legs, beaded collar, brass cuff casters. $800/1200

433. Very Fine and Rare American Rococo Carved Rosewood Center Table, mid‑19th c., attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, distinctive undulating white marble top, highly carved frieze centered by portrait busts, lion’s mask corners, scrolling vines, crouching winged figural supports, paw feet, casters, h. 29 in., w. 46 1/2 in., d. 31 in. $20000/30000 Note: This exceptionally rare and unique table, colloquially known by the collector as the “Jenny Lind” table, is a stunning example of New York cabinetmaker John Henry Belter’s use of figural carvings. Belter, most known for elaborate floral and foliate motifs in his Rococo Revival furniture, occasionally incorporated human figures, such as in a well-known group of chairs with crest rails surmounted by busts of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dante, and Vergil, and a related sofa with busts of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin. A close comparison of the winged figural supports and the female busts centering the frieze on the table offered here to other Belter busts, such as those previously mentioned, display similar stylized features and proportions that relate to Belter’s overall work.

The female busts centering the frieze of this circa 1850s table are purported to be modeled after 19th century singing sensation Jenny Lind, featuring Lind’s signature hairstyle. The Swedish-born singer became one of the most famous women of the period after entertainment entrepreneur P.T. Barnum booked Lind, already a rising star, on a nationwide tour of the U.S. that was immensely successful and skyrocketed Lind to stardom by 1850.

In 1848, P.T. Barnum built an extravagant home in Bridgeport, Connecticut named “Iranistan,”, which was furnished by the best New York City cabinetmakers. It is a possible scenario that Belter had both Barnum and Lind, who was at the height of her popularity, in mind when he created this magnificent table.

434. Rare American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Sofa, c. 1850‑1860, attr. to John Henry Belter, related to the pattern commonly referred to as “Fountain Elms”, arched reticulated grape and floral crest, serpentine arms, conforming seat rail, cabriole legs, scrolled toes, casters, h. 46 in., w. 79 1/2 in., d. 24 in. $15000/25000 Note: This rare example of John Henry Belter’s work is beautifully carved and sophisticated in shape, differentiating it from the triple-back sofas commonly seen in Belter’s work. The scrolled elements along the crest rail here are closely related to the known Belter pattern “Fountain Elms,” associated with the seated furniture made by Belter for the Fountain Elms Mansion in Utica, New York.

(closed) 18 1/4 in., d. (open) 36 1/2 in. $12000/16000 Note: Features of the games table offered here closely relate to well-known examples by the French-born and trained New York cabinetmaker Charles Honoré Lannuier, including the highly figured mahogany veneers, stamped brass inlay, and finely carved supports and paw feet. A peer of prominent New York cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe, Lannuier’s elegant classical furniture melded Anglo-American taste with French style and technique.

435. Fine American Carved Rosewood Dressing Chest, c. 1850‑1860, probably John Henry Belter, New York, arched foliate‑carved mirror, leaf and vine carved support, marble top, canted stiles, four graduated drawers with applied carved, conforming disc feet, h. 86 1/2 in., w. 50 in., d. 23 in. $5000/7000 Note: The stylish dressing chest offered here is related to dressing chests by New York cabinetmaker John Henry Belter. The form of the lower case and scrolled elements mounting the face of the drawers are comparable to a dressing chest held in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. The intricately pierced surround on the mirror is related to a Belter sofa from the Dubrow collection with a similar unlaminated carved scrolling motif. The surround also features carved roses like those seen on Belter’s “Rosalie” pattern étagères and seated furniture.

With only subtle differences, this lot is almost identical to a Lannuier card table from a private collection, illustrated in Honoré Lannuier: Cabinetmaker from Paris by Peter M. Kenny. The foliate carved supports are directly related to Lannuier’s “water-leaf carving,” a feature prevalent throughout his work. The table’s paw feet are also related to Lannuier’s common usage of outstretched lion’s paw feet paired with acanthus carvings, also illustrated by Kenny in several examples, including tables held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

464. Armand Guillaumin (French, 1841‑1927), “Printemps”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 16 3/4 in. x 23 in., period frame. $20000/30000 Note: Armand Guillaumin was an active and essential part of the impressionist art scene. He was a part of the famed exhibition of the Salon des Refusés of 1863, his work hanging alongside those of his contemporaries Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissaro, James Whistler, and Edouard Manet. Like his contemporaries, Guillaumin often painted landscapes of the wide-open rolling French countryside, such as the work offered here. In this canvas, the clarity of the blue sky underscores the richness of the ochre wheat fields and the vivid greenery on the horizon line. The planes of color used to create the depth of the mountains particularly call to mind the landscapes of Corot and Cézanne.

Note: Will Henry Stevens once said: “Rivers have meant very much to me. Inland rivers. I remember being charmed by Huckleberry Finn. If only one could get that spirit into painting.” He grew up on the Ohio River in Vevay, Indiana and later moved to the Gulf Coast and then New Orleans to teach, where he spent much time on the Mississippi River. Stevens would spend his summers in the mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee near lakes and rivers where this scene was likely painted. An artist who was profoundly inspired by nature, Stevens greatly enjoyed being outdoors. The work offered here, titled “The Golden Shore”, depicts a sun-dappled lake with trees and low mountains set aglow by the setting sun – providing a sense of what Stevens meant regarding getting “that spirit into painting.”

571. John McCrady (American/New Orleans, 1911‑1968), “Mother Earth”, multi‑stage on canvas, signed lower right, signed and inscribed “Arts & Crafts Club, New Orleans Art School, 520 Royal St., Charles Bein, Director” en verso, 38 1/2 in. x 27 in., framed. $20000/30000 Note: After completing two years at the University of Mississippi, John McCrady decided to enroll in the New Orleans Art School, which was run by the Arts and Crafts Club, in 1932. The club and school were located in the middle of the French Quarter at 520 Royal Street, home to the famous Brulatour Courtyard. Although he only spent one year at the school, McCrady maintained close ties with the Arts and Crafts Club throughout his career.

According to the inscription en verso, “Mother Earth” was painted during McCrady’s year at the New Orleans Art School. In this painting, the stylized Art Deco figure of Mother Earth is placed within the rolling hills and lush vegetation of McCrady’s beloved rural Mississippi countryside. Her hair mimics her skirt and the fields as she appears to be pouring herself into the landscape.

Based on his talent and the quality of paintings he produced at the school, McCrady was selected as one of America’s first ten young artists to receive a one-year scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. In 1947, the Arts and Crafts Club organized a retrospective exhibition of McCrady’s paintings, a fitting tribute to their former student who was now a nationally recognized artist.

Note: Will Henry Stevens was one of the pioneers of Modernism in the South.

Note: Hunt Slonem’s rare resin and wood sculptures, such as “Toco” offered here, serve as an extension of his pictorial plane into a new spatial dimension. A frequent subject of Slonem’s bird paintings, the patterned display of toucans are a tangle of color and form that are remarkably organic in texture. The sculpture is an unflinching confrontation between the viewer and Slonem’s classic jungle tableau.

Note: “The ‘subject’ of his paintings, of course, is not any particular place in New Orleans, but his own warm response to his experience, or memory, of this queen among southern cities.”

-Dore Ashton (New York Times, Jan. 31.

1959) In 1950, Fritz Bultman, along with several other New York school painters including Robert Motherwell, Hans Hofmann, Ad Reinhardt, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning all signed and published the historic open letter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art criticizing the institution’s indifference towards Abstract Expressionism and other “advanced art.” The press in turn labeled the outspoken group “The Irascibles” and in 1951, Life magazine published the iconic photo of the group taken by Nina Leen. At the time, Bultman was studying sculpture in Italy, so he is notably missing from the group portrait - his standing amongst his contemporaries was quite solid however with Motherwell proclaiming in 1987 that Bultman is “one of the most splendid, radiant, and inspired painters of my generation.”

The highly important work offered here

by Fritz Bultman comes from a key period within the artist’s career, a time in which his abstract expressionist style reached full maturity and creative inspiration. The years from 1955 to 1962 marked the “best painting time of his life” for Bultman, according to his wife, Jeanne. The couple moved to a townhouse in New York which included a large top floor studio where Bultman was able to take full advantage of the expansive space to create his expressive and dynamic canvases in even larger dimensions.

With several exciting sales and interest from renowned New York galleries such as the Stable Gallery, Martha Jackson Gallery, Gallery Mayer and Galerie Stadler in Paris, Bultman was arguably in the prime of his career. According to April Kingsley in the exhibition catalogue for New York – Paris 12 Paintings featuring works by Bultman, “one Paris dealer, Rodolphe Stadler, who was introduced to Fritz’s work by French critic Michel Tapies, bought many paintings outright and showed and sold them in galleries in Munich, Turin, and Rome as well as Paris.” He kept twelve canvases for his own collection and in turn sold them to Bultman’s wife when he retired and closed his gallery.

“Horizon: Glutton of Autumn” is one of the afore-mentioned twelve canvases of the Stadler collection and features many exhibition, gallery and custom labels detailing its extensive showings in both New York and Europe. The works from this period often can be informed by their unique titles, endowing the seemingly abstract compositions with new and almost narrative meaning.

With “Horizon: Glutton of Autumn,” the addition of exaggerated black and white lines on the orange background energizes the canvas and hints at a fall landscape in abstraction.

586. Fritz Bultman (American/New Orleans, 1919‑1985), “The Wave”, painted cast aluminum, unsigned, h. 25 1/2 in., w. 37 in., d. 13 in., wood pedestal, overall h. 55 in. $4000/6000 Provenance: Commissioned by Reynolds Metals Company, Richmond, VA; Private Collection.

Note: A native of New Orleans, Fritz Bultman lived a bohemian childhood with his extended family, which owned the House of Bultman funeral home on St. Charles Avenue.

Exposed to writers, painters, antique collectors, and musicians throughout his formative years, Bultman formed a particular friendship with the artist Morris Graves and eventually moved to New York to start his career.

During the 1960s, and continuing throughout his career, Bultman introduced the color blue and the “wave” form into his paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptures. Bultman also changed his method of creating art, switching from working in one medium at a time to slowly and methodically producing art in various media with overlapping colors and themes. The wave motif, the infinity symbol, and the idea of yin and yang were all significant subjects to which Bultman was greatly attracted.

Bultman wrote in his journal, “The vase [or vessel] quality of the female body was the first that forced itself into my conscious mind, then the wave meander, then the [twined] ropeness of the twisted torso and arms in space.” Taking this description into account, the viewer could easily imagine the current lot as a stylized representation of the spine, hips, and legs of a model, reimagined as a sinuous form one would find in the breaking surfs of the ocean. This essential theme, which reappeared time and time again throughout Bultman’s oeuvre, was critical to expanding his artistic concepts from the 1960s to the 1980s.

He executed various models of this bronze in different sizes and finishes for several decades beginning in the 1960s. Often the pose will differ slightly, by a turn of the head, or an adjustment in the triangulation of the arm. The woman is always depicted with her hair in a neat bun, her eyes tightly closed, in a state of serene calm and elegance. The work offered is a fine example of a sculpture from this series.

591. Helen Maria Turner (American/ New Orleans, 1858‑1958), “Coquette”, oil on canvas, signed lower left, handwritten inscription with artist, title and remnant of exhibition label en verso, “E.C. Slater” embossed en verso of frame, 22 in. x 18 in., period frame. $30000/50000 Note: In the 1880s, the art world opened significantly for women in America, and Helen Maria Turner benefited greatly from the art clubs and associations in both New Orleans and New York, where she studied under artists such as Andres Molinary, Bror Anders Wikstrom, William Merritt Chase, and Joseph De Camp. Maia Jalenak writes, “In this regard, Turner was among a generation of women breaking new ground. Her combination of talent and determination enabled her to move to professional status, support herself, and achieve a distinguished reputation.”

Although many artists of this time period were interested in studying painting abroad, exposing themselves to the French Impressionist paintings, Turner preferred to work with American painters. William Merritt Chase was particularly influential on her style, and her sensitive depictions of her models directly reflect her training with him. By 1900, Turner was teaching both privately and at institutions, as her work became more popular and she gained national acclaim.

In “Coquette,” Turner’s studies with Chase are apparent in the light, airy palette using mostly pastel colors, as well as the loose brushstrokes that form the hair, dress, and fan that the model holds. Turner often used the same models for multiple canvases; the girl in this portrait is most likely Julia Polk Hunsicker, who also posed for the seminal “Lilies, Lanterns, and Sunshine” in the collection of the Chrysler Museum of Art. By 1914, the Corcoran Gallery had exhibited and purchased one of her paintings, Girl with Lantern, and The Flower Girl of 1920 won the Second Altman Prize; Turner was the first woman to receive any of the Altman prizes. This award led to her being elected to the National Academy of Design in 1921. In 1917, Turner’s works were included in the exhibition Six American Women, which was comprised of works by the most prestigious female painters in America, including Mary Cassatt and Alice Schille.

While women who painted in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had many more opportunities than their predecessors, there still existed a pervasive notion that women were less qualified to become artists and created “weaker” works. This idea that a woman artist has an inherently female quality that is translated to her work was a popular theory in the early 20th century known as “essentialism.” Because of this concept, art critics would sometimes refer to Turner’s work – with a negative connotation – as having a “feminine quality” to it. Time has been on Turner’s side as the idea of “essentialism” in her work has been rejected over the years as the strength of her painting technique and talent has been increasingly acknowledged and celebrated.

Turner’s presence on a national level speaks to the fact that her works have a universal appeal, and her success then helped to set the stage for future female artists from the region. Not only did she defy the odds by supporting herself as a working artist, but her accomplishments are inspiring. Her solo exhibition at the age of 90 at the New Orleans Museum of Art (then the Delgado Museum of Art) in 1949 likely inspired the next generations of artists such as Ida Kohlmeyer to reach similar heights in their own careers.

George Overbury “Pop” Hart (American, 1868‑1933), “A Cold Morning, Bayou St. John, New Orleans”, 1918, watercolor and graphite on paper, signed, dated and inscribed lower right, titled lower left, 13 1/2 in. x 21 3/4 in., framed. $800/1200 Note: Pop Hart traveled throughout his life; he enjoyed painting representations of the various cities and countries he visited, including New Orleans in the winter of 1917-18. The scene depicted here shows the boats on Bayou St. John, where goods brought down the bayou from the lake were unloaded and taken to the markets on the Mississippi River. The muted color palette captures the feeling of a south Louisiana winter day, with figures warming themselves by a small fire under an overcast sky.

John McCrady (American/New Orleans, 1911‑1968), “Private Property ‑ Keep Out”, carbon acrylic on board, signed lower right, titled lower left, artist label with title en verso, 16 in. x 22 in., artist embellished frame. $15000/25000 Note: After decades of applying a multi-stage process of layering oil or acrylic paint over tempera, McCrady began to experiment in 1963 with a new form of painting. Over the next five years until his death, McCrady created many carbon acrylic paintings where he first sketched in carbon and then applied layers of acrylic in an effort to manipulate light and produce a more luminous effect. The effects of this technique can be observed in the white of the clouds and the lustrous grass in “Private Property – Keep Out” offered here.

A work quite similar in feeling to “The Divining Rod” of 1968, where McCrady painted his wife searching for underground water, the current lot displays McCrady’s love of the Mississippi landscape surrounding Oxford.

The rolling hills and wide-open skies create a calm, peaceful feeling – quite opposite the ominous warning of the keep out sign and padlocked fence.

Note: According to a 1997 letter discussing “Waiting for Mr. Boudreaux” offered here, George Rodrigue provided the title and date for the painting. With his characteristic artistic license, he also ascribed to the romantic title a story inspired by his aunt, Teen [sic] Boutte, who sat on her trunk waiting in vain for her only true love, Mr. Boudreaux, to carry her away. The true story differed slightly from the more tragic version however. Rodrigue did indeed have an aunt on his mother’s side of the family named Leontine Courregé Boutte, who was called “Aunt Tine” (misspelled in the letter) by the family and lived in Rodrigue’s hometown of New Iberia. Most likely Rodrigue did utilize a family photograph from the 1920-1930s for inspiration, a practice quite common in his work from the period.

The rest of the story harkens to a legend along the lines of Evangeline waiting for her Gabriel, combined with the lead figure of most Cajun tales and a favorite of the artist, the legendary Boudreaux. Rodrigue’s interpretation of a fading era in Cajun culture combined with his modernist aesthetic in this canvas produces a timeless scene reminiscent of American master James Whistler. Completed in Rodrigue’s classic early style, the figure glows against the dark oak, clad in white from head to toe. One can only imagine that Aunt Tine, who happily married and raised a family, would have been delighted by the canvas and story she inspired.

597. George Rodrigue (American/Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “The Petro Brothers”, 1985, oil on canvas, signed lower left, signed, titled and dated en verso, 24 in. x 36 in., framed. $30000/50000 Note: Bud Petro (1909-1985) and Norman Petro (1917-2011) owned and operated the Esso gas station and convenience store in Lafayette, sharing a busy corner with Borden’s Ice Cream shop and Rodrigue’s Jefferson Street home and gallery. Both brothers were good friends of the artist, and Bud was a traveling companion to Rodrigue for many years, driving across Texas and the southeast to deliver paintings to clients. Rodrigue often took photographs of his friends and family to use as inspiration for his Cajun paintings, and the Petro brothers were favorite models. Frequently posed with the artist’s sons, the Petro brothers also modeled once under a live oak among blooming azaleas with Diane Bernard Keogh, a favorite Rodrigue stand-in for Evangeline. The subsequent photos eventually were used as the inspiration for a series of paintings, including the charming work offered here. The contrast between the young and beautiful Evangeline with the older, out of place brothers appealed to the artist, and the combination creates an intriguing and timeless scene of Cajun life within a classic Rodrigue landscape.

600. Hunt Slonem (American/ Louisiana, b. 1951), “Point of No Return”, 1995, oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated en verso, 72 in. x 84 in., framed. $10000/15000 Note: As evident in the work offered here, Hunt Slonem exists in a decorative and colorful environment of birds and art. He not only has cared for dozens of birds throughout his life, but he intensely identifies with them, as his repetitive use of the theme in his paintings would imply. A symbol of freedom, the bird represents the spiritual wish to be something more. In the language of Slonem mysticism, they are unusual beings able to fly beyond the ordinary world into a higher, purer and more mysterious one. The artist has said, “My birds are not only birds…They also represent souls, though I wouldn’t go so far as to say whose.” The luminous and often chaotic atmosphere surrounding the birds suggests that he envisions them within a self-contained paradise of sorts, both highlighted and obscured by the overlapping grid of crosshatching for which the artist is known. As explained by Donald Kuspit, “Slonem’s birds are transformational objects facilitating his creative growth, indeed, the symbol as well as major subject of his astonishing creativity.”

601. George Rodrigue (American/ Louisiana, 1944‑2013), “Blue Dogs on the Red River”, 2011, acrylic on canvas, signed lower right, signed, titled, and dated en verso, 40 in. x 60 in., original frame. $60000/80000 Exh.: George Rodrigue: Blue Dogs, Louisiana Governors and Russian President Gorbachev, Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, Shreveport, Sept. 23‑Dec. 30, 2011.

Note: George Rodrigue had a long history with Shreveport and northern Louisiana, appreciating the culture and history there just as much as that of the southern portion of the state with which he was most associated. In the late 1970s, Rodrigue held his first exhibition in Shreveport at a bank, organized by Carl Jones, a prominent Shreveport oilman who admired his work and introduced Rodrigue to the local collecting community. Shreveport and the surrounding area would be frequent stops on Rodrigue’s many road trips selling and delivering his paintings across the South.

During the 1980s, Rodrigue’s artwork became increasingly well known regionally and nationally, and he developed immense popularity across the state with his colorful festival posters celebrating Louisiana’s heritage, both north and south. He was commissioned to create posters for Ducks Unlimited, first the Shreveport Chapter around 1980 and then the National Chapter’s convention in New Orleans in 1985, and he was invited to design the poster for the Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport in 1983. Rodrigue visited Shreveport again in the late 1990s to attend the Red River Revel in 1997, 1998 and 1999, creating the official poster each year for sell-out crowds. In 2011, Rodrigue returned to Shreveport for a major exhibition of his work Blue Dogs, Louisiana Governors and Russian President Gorbachev at the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, featuring paintings from the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art, private collectors and the artist’s personal archives.

The work offered here, “Blue Dogs on the Red River” was created by the artist as the archetype of the 2011 exhibition, celebrating the city and the artist’s love of Louisiana. The idea of the Red River appealed on multiple levels to Rodrigue, an artist focused on color, design and symbolism and one who always displayed a sense of humor. He had throughout his career painted Louisiana - its rivers, roads, oak trees, and people (or their Blue Dog counterparts) as individual elements blended into a cohesive whole, nowhere more evident than in this masterful painting from the height of his mature style.

614. Clarence Millet (American/Louisiana, 1897‑1959), “Italian Houses (Sketch)”, oil on canvas board, signed lower right, titled and “Art Association of New Orleans” label with title and artist information en verso, 11 in. x 13 in., framed. $4000/6000 Note: Clarence Millet was a founding member of the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans in 1992, and subsequently a charter member of their offshoot, the New Orleans Art League, in 1925.

Beyond the French Quarter associations and clubs, Millet also belonged to the New Orleans Art Association and other artist associations throughout the country, resulting in his work being widely exhibited both in solo and group shows nationally. The New Orleans Art Association exhibition label on the back of this painting indicates that Millet was living at 1240 N. Galvez Street at the time of exhibiting this work. This address was the artist’s first permanent residence in New Orleans, upon his return from New York in 1925. He set up his studio in the same building as Alexander Drysdale, next to a Chinese laundry in Exchange Alley, later renting space at 628 Toulouse Street in the Governor Claiborne House where Alberta Kinsey had her studio. Millet’s atmospheric plein-air brushwork and bright palette perfectly portray New Orleans life in the early to mid-twentieth century, as seen in “Italian Houses” offered here. Many Italians settled in apartments of the French Quarter near Decatur Street in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an area which for awhile was locally known as “Little Italy”, likely the scene captured by Millet here.

Luster plays with the concept of “the gaze,” instructing her subjects to bring personal objects and pose however they wish - defining themselves as individuals within a system that arguably robs them of their identity and agency. While the viewer observes each photo, the subject in turn stares back. “I wanted the photos to be handled by viewers and to suggest the history of the penal system… touching the faces of Louisiana’s “invisible” population.”

Hidden within the lush texture of the brushstrokes and lines are symbols – a bird, handprint or face seem to appear and disappear depending on the location of the viewer and the angle of the light source. The scale of the painting envelopes the viewer in Slonem’s mystical world, both sublimating the energy of the space around it and providing moments of pure transcendence. Slonem’s style as seen here and perfectly described by Donald Kuspit is: “the epitome of modern baroque – a kind of generic distillation of tactile painterliness, elusively recessive space, wide-open form, freewheeling unity, and incidental clarity, all rearticulated, indeed, thoroughly reworked, in the terms of modernist abstract.”

Note: The monumental tester bed in the lot shown here belonged to Colonel William and Catherine Balfour and was used in their palatial Greek Revival mansion at Homewood Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi.

Homewood was built in 1860 as a wedding gift to Colonel William and Catherine Balfour from Catherine’s father, David Hunt, a wealthy planter. Similar to many Natchez homes during this period, such as Lansdowne and Stanton Hall, Homewood was decorated with Rococo furniture from the workshop of New Orleans cabinetmaker Prudent Mallard.

The overall design and specific aspects of this historic bed can be referenced to known Mallard examples, especially the bed’s serpentine headboard and the robust foliate and shell-carved accents.

Gallery, New York Times art critic Howard Devree believed the power of her art lay in her ability to portray “human relationships and the joys and sorrows of everyday life.” Born and educated in Brooklyn, Gurr’s work portrayed the city around her, often focusing on inhabitants of the slums she encountered, and she was able to imbue her works with clear sympathy for the victims of social injustice. Later in her career, she began to paint in a semi-cubist abstract form, as evidenced in the painting “Neighbor’s Child” offered here. Even as her style began to evolve away from naturalism, she retained the emotional connection that was so evocative, commenting, “it nonetheless must have some kind of human depth to it.”

Note: Several design elements on this bookcase are closely related to known case pieces from the workshop of Daniel Pabst. The finely rendered “coin” stiles are similar to examples from Pabst’s Renaissance Revival work including those on a sideboard and parlor cabinet, both conserved by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The incised and stippled panels on this bookcase resemble panels on pieces within Pabst’s Modern Gothic oeuvre related to the work of English designer Christopher Dresser. Pabst examples with similar carving include a bedroom suite in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and an armchair from a private collection illustrated in The Art that is Life by Wendy Kaplan.

Neal Auction Company assumes no express or implied warranty with respect to these terms and descriptions, and they shall not be construed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability.

After George Inness - In our qualified opinion, the work is a copy of a known work of the artist named.

Manner of George Inness - In our qualified opinion, although the work is in the style of the artist named, it is actually of a later period.

George Inness - In our qualified opinion, we believe the work is by the artist named.

Attributed to George Inness - In our qualified opinion, we believe the work may be ascribed to the artist named on the basis of style and period, but our opinion is less certain than in the previous category.

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.
