THE COLLECTION OF HAROLD L. WILLIAMSON AND DR. R. DALE LEBLANC FROM THE ICONIC CORNSTALK FENCE HOUSE The Cornstalk Fence House is one of the grandest of New Orleans’ grand dame houses. Designed by renowned architect Henry Howard, and built 1859-1860 for “Blue Grass Colonel” Robert Henry Short, a prominent cotton commission merchant, it is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Its name comes from the distinctive cornstalk and morning glory motif cast iron fence furnished by Wood & Miltenberger, the New Orleans branch of the Philadelphia foundry Wood & Perot. This grand house has a storied past. It was seized by federal forces in 1863 and commandeered by Major General Nathaniel P. Banks, U.S. Commander, the Department of the Gulf in 1864. A host of dignitaries have dined in the house including Gens. Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. Julia Child has cooked in the kitchen and cellist Pablo Casals has performed in the music room. The tradition of vibrant hospitality would continue under the stewardship of Williamson and LeBlanc. Williamson, an interior designer, and LeBlanc, a physician, acquired the Cornstalk Fence House in 1994, and began a meticulous restoration of the property. Both gentlemen are committed preservationists and avid collectors. With Williamson’s design aesthetic and expertise as a decorator, and LeBlanc’s refined eye, the interior and exterior spaces and the garden became an elegant tout ensemble. The well curated Williamson-LeBlanc Collection encompasses fine French antiques, Louisiana paintings and historical material related to the house, as well as the accoutrements of entertaining and fine dining. As Patrick Dunne, the esteemed Vieux Carre antiquarian, observed “What a great place for a party! Parties there would be, and as they discovered while learning the tangled history of the place, parties there had been.” The Cornstalk Fence House has been featured in numerous publications, including Great Houses of America, Garden District of New Orleans, New Orleans Style: Past & Present, Landmarks of New Orleans, House Beautiful, Southern Accents, Romantic Homes and At Home in New Orleans.

Note: Henry Eldridge, whose work in miniature portraits was much admired by Sir Joshua Reynolds, began his artistic career with an apprenticeship to engraver William Pether, followed by studies at the Royal Academy in the late 1780s. Eldridge developed his distinctive style, which combined miniature painting depicting the likeness of his sitter with elegant draftsmanship portraying the background and personal effects of the subject. This portrait of Sir John Thomas Coghill impeccably displays Eldridge’s characteristic technique, with strong lines in ink defining the architecture and delicate shading of the figure and his surroundings created through multiple washes of watercolor. Eldridge’s meticulousness is apparent in the fine details throughout the picture, particularly the maps – one rolled and held in Coghill’s hand and one unrolled on the table beside him – which show areas of land that Coghill had recently purchased from the Marquis de Lafayette. The lands included 4000 acres in Point Coupée, as indicated at the bottom of the rolled map, and a small tract of land north of New Orleans near Lake Pontchartrain, to which Coghill is pointing.
Coghill, along with Alexander Baring and Henry Seymour, had purchased these lands from Lafayette in March of 1812 for 60 francs per acre. Lafayette, who was gifted the property by the United States government in gratitude for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, required funds to settle his substantial debts, and he decided to part with his Louisiana property in order to do so. Coghill must have been enthusiastic about his recent purchase when he commissioned such a skilled artist as Eldridge to commemorate the occasion with this superb watercolor.

Note: Famed kinetic sculptor George Rickey started his artistic career as a painter, studying at both L’Académie Moderne and L’Académie Lhote in Paris. After teaching at a series of colleges, Rickey arrived in New Orleans in 1955 where he became the chairman of the art department and professor of art at Tulane University, a post he retained until 1961. The painting offered here reputedly originates from this time period and depicts “Bill.” Bill prepared meals for Rickey while he was at Tulane, and the portrait was purportedly presented to him as a token of Rickey’s appreciation. Bill is depicted against a expressionistic backdrop, making the portrait a moving example of Rickey’s early painting style ‑ a warm and dignified rendering of a friend. Ref.: Kephart, Shannon.

Ill.: Kessel, Joseph and Jean Kisling. Kisling. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1971, no. 73, p. 244. Note: “Kisling loved life and life loved him. He made others love life. The power of his paintings hold no other secret.” – Joseph Kessel, Member of the Académie Française Born 1891 in Krakow, Poland, Moïse Kisling displayed an early and impressive talent for painting and was encouraged by his instructor at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, Joseph Pankiewecz, to move to Paris, where he insisted the only “good paintings” were produced. Thus at the age of nineteen, Kisling found himself arriving at the Gare de l’Est, where he was immediately besotted with Paris and thrived in a studio in Montmartre, then later in Montparnasse. Kisling was surrounded by the Bohemian influences of his fellow artists and neighboring writers and poets, who christened him the “King of Montparnassians.” In 1937, the Galerie Guy Stein hosted an exposition of Kisling’s paintings which “sparkle[d] like a fireworks display” according to André Warnod who reviewed the display for Le Figaro. Among this dazzling array were the two paintings offered here, each currently still with its exhibition label. In the winter landscape, Notre Dame peeks through the trees located in the park on the east and south sides of the building. This unique angle of the famous cathedral lends an air of intimacy to one of the most important monuments of Paris. The still life, a bouquet of dahlias, is painted with thick impasto perfectly mimicking the rich surface of the flowers. In each canvas, Kisling’s masterful execution of color and texture are on full display, and the passion of the artist is conveyed through every brushstroke. Ref.: Kessel, Joseph and Jean Kisling.

Note: Louis‑Michel Van Loo, nephew of Carle Van Loo, studied in Turin and Rome before becoming a court painter for King Philip V of Spain. In 1753, Van Loo painted many court portraits in Paris under King Louis XV, including the lovely canvas presented here of the Marquise de Marigny. Marie Françoise Constance Julie Filleul was the illegitimate daughter of King Louis XV and his mistress in the early 1700s, Marie Irene Catherine du Buisson de Longpré. Filleul married Abel François Poisson de Vandières in 1767, and the king soon made the couple the Marquis and Marquise de Marigny. Poisson de Vandières was the brother of the king’s favorite mistress, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, the famous Madame de Pompadour. In this portrait, Van Loo depicts the sitter in an elegant silk gown with a delicate stripe and flower pattern, covered by an ermine and velvet robe, while the styling of her hair and jewelry perfectly fits the court fashions of the mid‑18th century. 390.

Note: The stunning vitrine shown here is a superb example of the elegant Grecian style of New York cabinetmakers such as Duncan Phyfe, Michael Allison, and Charles‑Honoré Lannuier. The base of the vitrine shares many characteristics with New York pier tables, including the overall form and proportions, elaborate allegorical gilt stencil decoration, and winged hairy paw feet. A rare form among American Classical furniture, this vitrine shares a similar configuration with a bookcase made by Phyfe for North Carolina architect Robert Donaldson. Interestingly, an account of Donaldson’s furniture written by his daughter in 1928 describes his furniture as “all Duncan Phyfes” and describes “the cabinet pier table in parlor,” a reference to the pier table base of the related piece.

A Cremer‑ signed table conserved by the Saint Louis Art Museum displays a similar star inlay, ebonized fluted legs, and gilt incising. The chair shown here also has a related plaque of a Classical maiden and comparable overall proportions to a Pottier & Stymus chair in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

403. Very Rare American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Bedstead, c. 1850‑1860, attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, serpentine reticulated phoenix and foliate motif headboard centered by an acanthus medallion flanked by mermaids, conforming rails and foot board, crest of foot board is carved on the reverse with a diaper‑pattern medallion, cabochon‑decorated scrolled feet; together with custom box‑spring, h. 49 in., l. 78 in., w. 61 in.

Provenance: Estate of M. Qvistgaard‑Petersen, Palmer Ave., New Orleans; Morton’s Auction, New Orleans, Oct. 1987; Estate of Gordon and Vera Noakes, Detroit, MI.
Note: The stunning and ornately carved bed offered here is directly related to a patent filed by John Henry Belter in 1856. The U.S. Patent No. 15552 features a bed design showing a serpentine two‑part bedstead with an elaborately scrolled headboard and footboard, nearly identical to the present lot. The patent illustration also shows Belter’s signature seven‑layer lamination and the corresponding patent specification text written by Belter explains his intricate design process. Interestingly, Belter states within the patent text that the bed was constructed to be easily taken apart without the use of tools, which are “an evil more particularly apparent when it becomes necessary to separate the parts very hurriedly in case of a fire.” A superb example of Belter’s figural carvings, the crests of this bed are surmounted by whimsical mermaids and fanciful phoenix heads are placed among the crest foliage. A close examination of the mermaid faces shows the same distinctive features found on other documented Belter figures, including the maiden and cupids on an etagere from the Service Collection of Grant Oakes and a well‑known parlor suite that features carved busts of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dante, Virgil, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.

Note: The finely carved dresser in the present lot is directly related to a dresser by John Henry Belter conserved by the Brooklyn Museum, featuring a similar foliate crest with distinctively carved birds, the same configuration of mirrors, and a serpentine case. The dresser here also features a uniquely shaped divider in the top drawer and a nearly identical serpentine case as a Belter dresser in the Dubrow Collection. Ref.: Dubrow, Eileen and Richard. American Furniture of the 19th Century, 1840-1880. Pennsylvania: Schiffer Publishing, 1983, pp. 152‑154.

Note: The dramatic reticulation of the crest rail, finely carved opposing birds centering the crest, use of sophisticated seven‑layer laminated construction, shape of the rear legs, and the molding of the arm supports, seat rail, and front legs of this sofa are indicative of the rare “Bird Pattern” examples of seated furniture made in New York City during the mid‑19th century.

Note: The lavishly decorated cabinet in the present lot is among the group of rare Napoleon III‑influenced furniture made by prestigious New York cabinetmakers such as Pottier & Stymus, Alexander Roux, and Leon Marcotte.

Note: While relatively common among English Regency furniture, sofa tables were a rarer form in the U.S. during the early 19th century. The finely carved lyre supports on the sofa table offered here are directly related to Philadelphia Classical furniture, such as a dining table featuring a nearly identical foliate panel and similar disk carvings, illustrated in the Boor publication Philadelphia Empire Furniture. Ref.: Boor, Allison, Jonathan Boor, et al. Philadelphia Empire Furniture. Pennsylvania: John William Boor, 2006, p. 158.

Note: The curule base on the table here is closely related to a large suite of furniture made by Duncan Phyfe for New York merchant Thomas Cornell Pearsall, most of which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each piece of seated furniture in the Pearsall suite features a similarly styled base with a baluster‑turned stretcher and delicate paw feet, also seen on the table in the present lot. The overall form of this table is a near match to a dressing table made by Phyfe for the home of James Vanderpoel in Kinderhook, New York, illustrated in Nancy McClelland’s Duncan Phyfe and the English Regency, 1735-1830. Ref.: Brown, Michael K. and Peter M. Kenny. Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmaker in New York. New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2011, p. 178; McClelland, Nancy.

Note: The sleek and stylish sideboard shown here is an exquisite example of the influence of Japanese taste within Herter Brothers furniture made during the Aesthetic Movement of the late 19th century. An important element of the Aesthetic style, cabinetmakers like the Herter Brothers firm embraced Asian design for its prominent use of naturalistic motifs. A synthesis of both Continental and Eastern form and embellishment, the present lot is closely related to a rosewood cabinet which also displays delicate floral inlay and decorative natural panels made from exotic materials, illustrated in Herter Brothers: Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age.

Note: After the secession of South Carolina from the Union in 1860, the United States military held Fort Sumter, located off the shores of Charleston, until South Carolina forces led by General P.G.T. Beauregard took the fort on April 13, 1861. Two years later, Union forces unsuccessfully attempted to retake the fort, using the ironclad frigate New Ironsides, the tower ironclad Keokuk, and the monitors Weehawken, Pasiac, Montauk, Patapsco, Nantucket, Catskill, and Nahant. The ships fired on the fort on April 7, 1863 into the night, which the artist depicts in this skillfully rendered canvas. As an eye witness, the artist would have had a wealth of knowledge regarding the placement of the ships, as well as the large group of Charlestonians who gathered to watch the bombardment.

The Daily Picayune of August 16, 1863 reports an event honoring Banks which was hosted by the Union school teachers and school children at The Lyceum. The Hall is described as “richly draped with flags, garlands and evergreens, and the name of Gen. Banks, with the victories achieved by him, appeared in living green upon the walls.” The Daily Picayune also reports the presentation of “a silver salver, tankard and goblet.” Daily Picayune, August 16, 1863, p. 3. The presentation pitcher and goblet offered here are almost assuredly that “tankard and goblet.”
Notwithstanding the plaudits Banks received in New Orleans in the summer of 1863, the latter part of his career there would be overshadowed by the failure of the Red River Campaign and his army’s defeat by Major General Richard Taylor (son of President Zachary Taylor) at the Battle of Mansfield. Hallmarks on the Banks pitcher and goblet indicate manufacture in 1861 or prior: the Hyde & Goodrich partnership was dissolved in 1861, with the remaining partners forming a new partnership, Thomas, Griswold & Co. The pitcher and goblet could, like the books and engravings, have been “captured”. Crescent City Silver. The Historic New Orleans Collection, New Orleans, 1980. pp.4‑5.

Note: Known primarily as a portraitist, John Genin developed his painting technique while under the tutelage of renowned Parisian portraitist Leon Bonnat. Genin’s skills at portraiture, as well as the stylistic evidence of Neoclassicism and Romanticism, are particularly evident in his allegorical paintings representing Louisiana. Genin painted at least three of these works, with the important painting offered here likely the penultimate version created in 1884. The artist utilized his adept portraiture skills to portray a goddess (modeled by his second wife) standing amidst a lush, bayou landscape while bare‑breasted and adorned with Spanish moss draped from her hair and waist.
Provenance: Tezcuco Plantation.
Exh.: “Knute Heldner: A Retrospective Exhibition”, Oct. 12‑Nov. 16, 1980, Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota, Duluth, MN. Note: Among the largest and most complex of Knute Heldner’s canvases, this French Market scene was painted from Dumaine Street in the French Quarter, looking east toward the Faubourg Marigny. The fresh, white palette and brightly colored clothing of the shoppers create an ebullient atmosphere. The composition, combining the historic buildings and horse‑drawn cart with modern cars on the street, beautifully highlights the synthesis of old and new in quotidian French Quarter life. From the inclusion of the cupolas on top of the buildings, this painting is dated to after the Public Works Administration renovations in the late 1930s. The French Market, which has a long and vivid history, originally was comprised of a group of markets, each selling a certain type of food or dry goods. Although damaged or destroyed by storms or fires many times over the years, the markets were always immediately rebuilt, indicating the vital importance of these buildings in the New Orleans community. The renovation of the late 1930s demolished many of the nineteenth century structures, some of which had been badly damaged in a hurricane in 1915. A later renovation of the 1970s significantly changed the style of the French Market, as well as altering the footprint of the market complex.

452. West Indies Carved Acajou Moucheté Mahogany Armoire, late 18th c., in the Louis XV taste, cove‑molded cornice, flush paneled doors, fiche hinges, mahogany interior with shelves and a medial belt of drawers, scalloped apron, cabriole legs, h. 87 in., w. 59 1/2 in., d. 21 1/2 in. $10000/15000 Provenance: Robert Smith, Au Vieux Paris Antiques, Breaux Bridge, LA, Sept. 2004.
Note: The elegant acajou moucheté or “plum pudding” mahogany armoire shown here is closely related to a West Indies armoire that belonged to Louisiana governor Jacques Villeré and was brought to Louisiana as early as 1782. In the Louis XV taste, the armoire here and the Villeré armoire both feature the distinctively figured acajou moucheté mahogany, a similar cove‑molded cornice, the same flush panel door construction, and cabriole legs.

451. François Bernard (French/New Orleans, 1812‑1875), “Portrait of Madame Jules Arnaud Blanc, née Mary Inskeep Palfrey (1828‑1887)”, 1859, oil on canvas, signed and dated mid‑right, 41 1/2 in. x 32 in., framed. $2000/3000
Provenance: Williamson‑LeBlanc Collection, Cornstalk Fence House, New Orleans.
Note: A second marriage for both the bride and groom, Mary Inskeep Palfrey and Jules Arnaud Blanc were married in New Orleans in 1856. Blanc, whose ancestors had intermarried with the Labatut family, spent his childhood in the familial home, the Evariste Blanc House, on Bayou St. John, now the parish rectory of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish. He owned a brickyard, as had his father, and was president of the State National Bank. The couple is buried in Lafayette Cemetery Number 1.
This beautifully rendered portrait of Madame Blanc bears a striking resemblance, with its deep red background, to Bernard’s portrait from only a year prior of Jeanne Roman de la Villebeuvre (sold in these rooms November 23, 2013). Both women wear classic antebellum dresses, and Madame Blanc’s sheer, black lace sleeves are accented by the gold of her jewelry and the black lacquered and gilt‑decorated side table included in the composition.

454. José Francisco Xavier de Salazar y Mendoza (Mexican/ New Orleans, c. 1750‑1802), “Portrait of a New England Gentleman”, oil on canvas, unsigned, 40 1/4 in. x 31 1/4 in., framed. $12000/18000
Note: The canvas offered here by Jose Francisco Xavier de Salazar y Mendoza, reputedly acquired by a Maine collector from an estate in Newburyport, Massachusetts, features a handsome gentleman in a late 18th century‑style frock coat and cravat. The work typifies the archetypal portrait Salazar painted at the turn of the 18th century with its telling red ochre background as well the characteristic pose and composition often used by the artist. Salazar was known to have painted top military figures, sea captains, and wealthy merchants, many of whom had come to New Orleans from other locales for business and political purposes. The portraits were frequently sent back to the prominent families in the Northeast from which the sitters originated, likely the history of this work.
The standing portrait at waist‑length with one hand in the sitter’s coat had become an iconic pose by the late 1700s, and Salazar implemented it often for his prominent sitters. Three known paintings by Salazar, Colonel Thomas Butler, Jr., sold in these rooms in February 2017, Miguel Dragon, located at the Louisiana State Museum, and the Portrait of a Bristol, Rhode Island Gentleman, all have nearly identical poses, as well as the same trompe l’oeil painted oval seen in the painting offered here.

Note: Samuel Bannister Slocomb of Maryland started his business career at the Rogers Hardware store in Philadelphia in the early 1800s. After proving himself in the trade, he moved to New Orleans and help established a hardware store by the name of Rogers, Slocomb & Co., which in some years became Slocomb and Co.
Samuel died in 1834 when his son Cuthbert Harrison Slocomb was only three. Eventually, Cuthbert took control of the family hardware store. By 1861 he was a prominent citizen of the city with significant land ownership and an active businessman, serving as the director of the Bank of Louisiana and the New Orleans Water Works as well as First Vice President of the Mechanical & Agricultural Assoc. of LA. His hardware business was suspended during the Civil War when he joined the Confederate army in 1861, rising in rank from Assistant Quartermaster of the Second Company, Washington Artillery, to First Lieutenant of the 5th Company, the latter unit assigned to the Confederate Army of Tennessee and engaged in several major battles throughout the war. Wounded in April 1862 at Shiloh, Slocomb was promoted to captain and given the command of the company. On September 1, 1864, Captain Slocomb was seriously wounded at Jonesboro and was hospitalized in South Carolina. Slocomb returned to the regiment in December 1864 and remained with the regiment for the defenses of Mobile and Spanish Fort until the end of the war. After the war, Slocomb resumed his work at his hardware business C. H. Slocomb & Co., which a few years later became Slocomb, Baldwin & Co. with the addition of partner Albert Baldwin. And finally, in 1873, the firm became A. Baldwin & Co. Slocomb was a dealer in livestock, particularly horses and helped build a race course in New Orleans. He was active in Metairie Jockey Club, the Louisiana Jockey Club, the Pickwick Club, and served as Director of Equitable Life Insurance Company. He died in 1880. His daughter Cora was Queen of Carnival and married Count di Brazza‑Savorgnan of Italy.

This bronze bell was reported to be used at his store on 74 Canal St and was spared from being melted for use in Confederate cannons made at either Leeds or John Clark foundries. Considering Slocomb was a well‑respected businessman in the city, it is quite possible that this bell was made at one of these New Orleans foundries in 1860. Both were known to do work in both iron and bronze. 457. Set of Six Antique English Lead Planters, 19th c., shaped body with urns and arched side, h. 15 in., w. 15 in., d. 12 in. $500/1000

Note: Clockmaker Stanislaus Fournier came to New Orleans from France in 1841 or 1842. His pre‑eminent shop at 60 Royal Street was a French Quarter landmark.
Fournier’s accomplishments include the three‑faced church clock installed at St. Louis Cathedral in 1851, the development of a four‑hand stopwatch for horse racing in 1855, and the invention of a “tell‑tale” register clock in 1857. Fournier died in 1853 and is buried in New Orleans’ St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, Vault 24.

Note: Alexander Drysdale’s large canvases were most often commissions, as in the case of the Shushan Airport and the Weiss Dining Room murals. The monumental and exceedingly rare lunette offered here was part of a group of paintings commissioned by the D.H. Holmes department store. In 1927, the president of D.H. Holmes, Frederick W. Evans, asked Drysdale to paint twenty‑two special canvases of mural size to display in the store. The paintings hung in the restaurant at the store for many years until Drysdale’s death, when they were put on exhibition in the store’s riverside window. This work, with its attractive half‑moon shape and iconic oak trees near the water, is a classic example of Drysdale at his very best. The reflections of the trees and sky on the water with a high horizon line and sizeable foreground are particularly well‑painted and make for an interesting composition. Ref.: Buechner, Howard A.

Note: The iconic courtyard at the Governor Claiborne home at 628 Toulouse Street, with its notable arches, curved staircase, and fan window, has been depicted by many New Orleans artists, including Clarence Millet, Eugene Loving, and Alberta Kinsey. Kinsey, who rented an apartment and studio in the home, painted many varied scenes of the building; additionally, she hosted the first official meeting of the group that would become the Arts and Crafts Club. Ellsworth Woodward, whose drawings and paintings of French Quarter scenes have served to preserve the history of the neighborhood, certainly would have spent time sketching in the courtyard of the Governor Claiborne Home. In the watercolor offered here, Woodward’s light brushstrokes in primary colors blend together to create a colorful scene detailing the architecture of this historic courtyard.

Note: Joseph Jefferson IV was known as an actor in a multi‑generational family of actors and was best known for portraying Rip Van Winkle in Dion Boucicault’s adaptation of Washington Irving’s short story. He, like his father and grandfather, painted in his spare time and collected the work of the nineteenth‑century Barbizon and Dutch School landscape painters. The painting offered here depicts a horse‑drawn wagon along a country path with pastures, fences and a barn in the distance.
An avid hunter, Jefferson visited Louisiana on several occasions. In 1896, he purchased Orange Island, a six hundred acre salt dome in Iberia Parish. There he built a retreat and enjoyed his favored pastime of painting the surrounding swamps and bayous. Jefferson developed a technique of layering the colors with brushes and then manipulating the surface with his fingers, palette knife, rags, feathers and/or blotting paper. Later in his life, Jefferson moved to Palm Beach, Florida where he continued to paint, focusing on the rural and undeveloped landscape of South Florida at the turn of the century.

Note: August Norieri spent his relatively short career painting primarily marine scenes and, most notably, the elaborate steamboats or “floating palaces” that were quickly becoming obsolete with the expansion of rail transportation. The rare painting offered here is a remarkable example of a departure from Norieri’s typical marine genre. This work, perhaps inspired by that of William Aiken Walker who lived and worked in New Orleans concurrently, sensitively portrays two figures at the forefront of a cotton field.

470. Southern School, 19th c., “Evening in the Tropics”, oil on canvas, illegibly signed “G.All...d” lower left, 22 in. x 36 in., framed with title plaque. $3000/5000 Provenance: Williamson‑LeBlanc Collection, Cornstalk Fence House, New Orleans.
472. Will Henry Stevens (American/ Louisiana, 1881‑1949), “On the Old Basin”, oil on board, signed lower left, titled en verso, 15 3/4 in. x 11 3/4 in., framed. $2000/3000
Note: Will Henry Stevens had many seemingly contradictory influences on his work: traditional Southern landscape painting, Taoist Philosophy, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. He also worked in similarly contrasting styles of painting simultaneously, one that was based on the then current theories of abstraction and the other that was firmly rooted in lyric realism ‑ he was equally comfortable working in both. Unlike most modernists of his day, as Stevens moved toward a more spiritual abstraction, he never abandoned realism and drew constant inspiration from his surroundings. The waterways of New Orleans were one of his favorite subjects. The charming painting offered here depicts the Old Basin Canal (originally named the Carondelet Canal and built in 1794), before it was filled in 1927.

The painting offered here is a pastoral of a young girl feeding chickens on a path in the woods. In the shade of a tree, a traveler on a horse observing the view before him. Herzog displays his extraordinary ability to capture the variations in light and shadow filtering through the foliage as well as the individual leaves and blades of grass that surround the composition. The open, illuminated foreground focuses the viewer towards this delightful rustic moment. 475. Joseph Rusling Meeker (American, 1827‑1889), “Bayou Field with Campsite at Dusk under a Crescent Moon”, 1885, oil on canvas laid on masonite, signed and dated lower left, “Saint Louis Art Museum” label with title en verso, 13 5/8 in. x 23 5/8 in., framed. $15000/25000
Provenance: Ex‑collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, MO. Note: Landscape painter Joseph Rusling Meeker is known for his panoramic views of Louisiana bayous and detailed depictions of moss‑laden cypress trees. The work offered here is a sublime example of a Meeker landscape, unique in the lexicon of the artist’s oeuvre. A group of hunters rests at the end of a ridge in the middle of a bayou, contemplating the sunset and fiery clouds ‑ indicative of Meeker’s finest work.

Note: New Orleans artist Olive Leonhardt studied art at Newcomb College in 1914‑15, and the following year attended the School of Fine and Applied Arts (later to become Parsons) in New York. She returned to New Orleans, getting a job at D.H. Holmes department store doing graphics. She shared a studio with Caroline Durieux in the French Quarter beginning in 1921 and was an active member of the Arts and Crafts Club. Leonhardt’s illustration art was all over New Orleans, appearing in periodicals, magazines, literary journals, on posters and stage sets. She hosted a salon at her Uptown home in the 1920s where artists and writers such as William Spratling, Natalie Scott, Weeks Hall and Lyle Saxon among others were guests.
Leonhardt first visited Mexico in 1930 and became enamored with the art and people of the country. She traveled there many summers during the 1930s and 1940s, visiting Taxco, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca, and Orizaba. Through her connection with William Spratling, she met artists Rufino Tamayo and Diego Rivera during her first trip there. Leonhardt developed a striking compositional style during her time in Mexico, informed by the Pre‑Columbian art‑historical references of the artists’ she had met and a representation of social concerns. She produced a group of paintings and drawings of Mexican subjects with simplified and distorted figures and a neutral color palette, which notably bear an aesthetic and stylistic influence from her cultural surroundings. In the painting offered here, Calle Mañana, or “Street of Tomorrow,” painted c. 1935‑39, her stylized figures stand on the sidewalks next to the street, which runs vertically through the middle of the composition. In 1939, the Charles Morgan Gallery in New York opened a solo exhibition of Leonhardt’s paintings, including the work offered here. In the foreword of the exhibition catalogue he wrote: “Satirical drawings, rendered with a wit as sharp as a surgeon’s knife, have place Olive Leonhardt as the artistic descendant of Hogarth and Swift. This heritage from the graphic arts is retained in her painting. In these she extends and elaborates the documentary with deliberate understatement, monotones, and a savage geometry. The result is a balanced unbalance of line and color. This combination presents a visual experience that is to be compared only to music, for it carries a definite feeling of counterpoint and almost of sound.”
Leonhardt’s work is in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art and The Historic New Orleans Collection. Her paintings rarely appear on the market, and this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a work of exceptional provenance and exhibition history.

490. William Woodward (American/ New Orleans, 1859‑1939), “Rue Chartres, N.O. Vieux Carré”, 1930, Raffaelli crayon on board, signed and titled lower left, signed, titled, inscribed and “National Arts Club” label en verso, 20 in. x 14 in., framed. $40000/60000
Provenance: Descended in the family of the artist.
489. Alberta Kinsey (American/New Orleans, 1875‑1952), “French Quarter Book Store”, oil on canvas, signed lower left, 17 1/4 in. x 20 in., framed. $15000/25000
Note: Upon her arrival to New Orleans in 1918, Alberta Kinsey quickly developed a deep fondness for the French Quarter, despite the fact that it was considered a less than desirable neighborhood for a woman living alone in the early twentieth century. Renting an apartment and studio in the Old Governor Claiborne Home at 628 Toulouse Street, Kinsey hosted the first meeting of the Arts and Crafts Club of New Orleans and found herself at the center of the burgeoning artistic community in the city. Her love of the historic buildings, cobblestone streets, and plant‑filled courtyards inspired her to depict many scenes of French Quarter daily life, such as the one of a French Quarter bookstore offered here.
Note: The painting presented here depicts 522 and 524 Chartres Street, the location of Ibos Brothers Print Shop, Tinsmith, and Plumbing Company, owned by Bertrand Firmin Ibos and Joseph Baptiste Ibos. Woodward, who often created multiple works of art portraying the same scene, included this location in his 1938 book, French Quarter Etchings of Old New Orleans. In the text, he noted: “This shop and residence at 524 Chartres Street no longer exists. It was probably built in the late 1790s as its site was directly in the path of the great fires of 1788 and 1794 which deprived New Orleans of 1068 houses of the older type of Creole construction.”
Another Raffaelli crayon version of this view exists from 1905; however, the picture offered here focuses more closely on the horse and carriage, as well as including additional details of the sky. Woodward used vibrant colors to depict a sunny day in the French Quarter and to highlight the architecture, which he was dedicated to preserving through his meticulous attention to detail.

494. William Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1859‑1939), “The Pali, Island of Oahu, Hawaii”, 1925, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left, titled en verso, signed, titled, inscribed and period “Art Association of New Orleans” exhibition label on stretcher, “Montgomery Gallery, San Francisco” label with artist and title on backing board, 22 1/4 in. x 28 1/4 in., original frame. $6000/8000 Exh.: Laguna Beach Art Association, 1926; Art Association of New Orleans Annual Exhibition, 1927.
Note: The Pali, which is the Hawaiian word for cliff, is a particular section of the Ko’olau mountain range on the island of Oahu. This delightful view of the cliffs, which are located to the northeast of Honolulu, has long been a treasured one on the island of Oahu. From the composition created by William Woodward, with the Pali on the left and the northern Ko’olau range on the right, he would have been painting from the Kaneohe area of the island, near Kaneohe Bay.
Woodward traveled to Hawaii by sea as an extension of a trip throughout the western United States in the mid‑1920s, including Yellowstone National Park and southern California. As always with his oil paintings, Woodward’s characteristic brushwork and palette add to the charm and natural beauty of the scene. His portrayal of the lush landscape with the clouds just obscuring the peak of the Pali demonstrates Woodward’s clear mastery of the oil medium as well as his talent in crafting a graceful and balanced composition. Exhibited twice in the years following its completion, this important canvas must have been highly prized by the artist.

Provenance: Estate of the Artist.
Exh.: “G. Ruger Donohoe (1857‑1916): A Retrospective Exhibition”, Parrish Art Museum and Hirschl and Adler Galleries, New York, 1977 and listed in accompanying catalogue as no. 15.
Note: In 1962, Noel Rockmore was commissioned by Larry Borenstein to paint portraits of Preservation Hall musicians, proprietors and close friends. He often sketched the musicians quickly in polymer on masonite while they performed on stage and later made appointments for formal sittings, taking sometimes two to three hours to depict them in oil on canvas.
Note: After studying at the Academie Julian in Paris, Ruger Donoho returned to the United States and worked in New York, exhibiting his paintings at the National Academy and the Society of American Artists. Having painted in the Barbizon and Impressionist styles in France, Donoho was accustomed to working in the outdoors and continued to do so near his home in East Hampton. In the painting offered here, “Trees of Heaven No. 2,” Donoho utilizes the plein air green and brown of the Barbizon school to realistically depict the sun‑dappled light under the trees in the forest, while employing the short brushstrokes and airy color palette of Impressionism.
One of Rockmore’s favorite sitters was Bill Russell (1905‑1992), a prominent jazz historian who ran a record store and violin repair shop near Preservation Hall. In the painting offered here, Rockmore depicts Russell with his pet parakeet, named Pretty Baby after the Tony Jackson tune. In Tom Sancton’s book “Song for My Fathers” he writes, “[Bill’s] real allegiance was to Pretty Baby, his talking parakeet, who did a perfect imitation of Bill’s Midwestern accent.” Ref.: Sancton, Tom.

“When I first decided to paint Cajun landscapes, I knew that light would play a unique role in my work. In Louisiana, the light is always distant, obscured by a low sky and the moss‑draped branches of the oak trees. In my recent paintings, however, I’ve manipulated my old “rules” in order to reflect new moods and new environments. My Louisiana is not dark these days. Indeed, it is full of color and light. In ‘Angel on My Shoulder,’ Blue Dog’s bad counterpart – always in red – sits off to one side; on the other side is the light of artistic freedom, emanating from the very same oak tree that once obscured it.” – George Rodrigue Ref.: Rodrigue, George. Blue Dog Man. New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1999, p. 90‑91.
505. Ida Rittenberg Kohlmeyer (American/New Orleans, 1912‑1997), “Translumined”, 1961, oil on canvas, signed lower right, titled on “Henri Gallery, Alexandria, VA” label en verso, 45 in. x 69 in., framed. $20000/30000
Note: In 1957, Newcomb College professor Pat Trivigno offered Mark Rothko a visiting artist position at the school. Rothko accepted and moved his family into the Metairie home of Ida Kohlmeyer’s late mother. The resulting friendship between Kohlmeyer and Rothko would have a profound influence on the trajectory of her work. The painting offered here, entitled “Translumined,” marks an early transition towards Kohlmeyer’s iconic cluster series and may be regarded as a quintessential milestone in the evolutionary arc of her oeuvre. In the painting, subtle delineations of rich, deep color float within a sea of white and clearly foreshadowing her later work. Interestingly, this canvas fits perfectly within the art historical framework of Kasimir Malevich’s earlier composition “White on White” and Rothko’s later creation “Black on Grey,” placing Kohlmeyer squarely within the upper echelons of the abstract expressionists.

Note: George Rodrigue’s paintings are undeniably rooted in the Louisiana landscape, yet his frequent travels often inspired him as well. New Mexico, particularly Santa Fe, merited annual visits by the artist beginning in the 1980s, many times as a stop on his long drives to California. Much like with his oak trees and bayous, the geography of the American West became stylized on Rodrigue’s canvases, such as “Sunshine Dog” offered here. The graphic shapes and elements may have little connection to the real world, nevertheless Rodrigue successfully captures the feeling of wide open space, vibrant mountains and an enchanting sunset. Many of the distinctive Rodrigue compositional traits remain to make this late work an instant classic – the iconic shape of the Blue Dog with his feet melding into the landscape, the high horizon line and bright colors. 516.

Note: As George Rodrigue’s Blue Dog series progressed, the elements in the paintings often related less to his Cajun heritage and more to the people and objects that filled the artist’s day to day life. Rodrigue was friends with many chefs throughout his life – admiring whose who achieved a mastery of craft and unique style no matter the art form. Rodrigue’s original paintings, inspired by friends like Paul Prudhomme, located the chefs within the Acadiana landscape. Later, his Blue Dogs became the chefs with the addition of white coats, hats and aprons – gazing out from tables or as in the aptly‑titled work offered here, “Hell’s Kitchen.”

(3 pcs.) $8000/12000 Ill.: Cox, Paul Ernest. “Potteries of the Gulf Coast”. Ceramic Age. June 1935: 196‑197.
Note: Born in New Orleans to Juan Gonzales, who was Spanish‑born but raised in Cuba, and Louise Schwenck of Louisiana, Juanita Gonzales attended Newcomb College, graduating with a Bachelor of Design in 1925. Gonzales then moved to New York to study with the Russian avant‑garde artist Alexander Archipenko and worked there until 1931. Returning to New Orleans, Gonzales joined the faculty at Newcomb College, as well as teaching courses at the Arts and Crafts Club and retaining a studio on Governor Nicholls Street, where she created works in a variety of media. Gonzales was best known for her talent in ceramics and sculpture and was well noted for “her research work in the development of glazes and enamels.” Examples of her work, such as the vase with seahorse handles now conserved in the Louisiana State Museum, are scarce due to her untimely death in 1935 after a long illness, but her reputation as a master ceramicist remains. The fireplace surround offered here is a rare and stunning piece from her oeuvre and clearly demonstrates her skill as a designer and her talent at ceramics. The multi‑piece fluted mantle and surround is glazed in blue‑gray and pink, and incorporates stylized Art Deco designs so reminiscent of the time.

Note: To be included in John Fowler’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné on William Aiken Walker.
Note: In the latter part of William Aiken Walker’s life, he spent most of his time in North Carolina. The artist was drawn to a series of resort areas near Asheville because of the temperate summers and bucolic scenery. There he executed landscapes of the surrounding area as well as idyllic pastoral scenes of the cabins and small farmhouses tucked away in the mountains. The painting offered here is an exceptional example of Walker’s later work. To the right, a wooden cabin is ensconced in verdant grass and trees while a path cuts through the arrangement giving the composition a sense of depth that is not often evident in his earlier plantation scenes. The palette is rich and the brushstrokes more visible and expressionist than usual for the artist, making this painting an impressive milestone in his long career.

Married to Charles Auguste Barriere in the early 1840s, the couple had four children, Julia, Charles, Eugene, and Georgine. Elodie’s father, General Antoine Rigau, had fought in the Napoleonic Wars; he was a Cavalry General under Napoleon both before the Bourbon Restoration of 1814 and during the 100 days when Bonaparte returned to power in 1815. Rigau’s name is inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris on the north pillar. Seeking asylum from the throne for his Bonapartist politics, Rigau moved first to the Champ d’Asile, a settlement in Texas for those who had supported Napoleon, and then subsequently to New Orleans.

Rinck’s delightful portrait of Elodie Rigau includes a beautiful landscape background seen through a window with a climbing vine of morning glories. Her tasteful and fashionable white dress and ringlets with a wedding ring prominently displayed on her left hand suggest that this could perhaps be a wedding portrait.

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.
