ow much spare time do you have? Not much, I bet. With the amount of time we dedicate to work, our families and friends and the time we put into simply trying to keep up with our daily lives... well, all of these demands leave us with few spare moments. Women’s-interest magazines frequently publish stories encouraging us to bring more balance into our lives, which, quite frankly, I have decided is impossible. The best I can hope for is carving out minutes, sometimes hours and rarely an entire day to devote to activities that help bring the me back to me.

the installation of the museum’s permanent collection of Louisiana fine and decorative arts, opening March 4-5. Charles is one of five experts across the South chosen as guest curators for the exhibition and we are so proud!

One of my guilty pleasures is cruising through decorator magazines.

My favorite place to play hooky is Barnes & Noble Booksellers, where they serve Starbucks lattes, extra hot, and you can shop for as many magazines as you want for as long as you want.

According to my astrological natal chart, I’m a dreamer and a schemer, and that’s what I do with my precious down time, perusing Elle Décor, Traditional Home, Southern Living, and so on. I dream, I scheme and I imagine. Flipping through the pages, I wonder: could I live in that room? Who would I be? How would my life change if I had built-in-bookshelves inlaid with brass? What do I think of Benjamin Moore’s shady-green paint color called Ponderosa Pine? Is that bright-red-lacquered library the real me?

Look at that whitewashed Moroccan fantasy beach house, so calm and peaceful. And how I love the black-and-white Art Deco-inspired family room with the antique Parisian mirror, Baccarat chandelier and the white linen wallcovering by Ralph Lauren.

I let my imagination take off to remote locations, to outlandish decorating, to a host of what-ifs. I get the same fanciful pleasure when I walk through the auction house, delighting in the countless possibilities that come through our doors. Imagination: it wakes up our brains, makes our desires feel real and provides us with a magic carpet to anywhere we want to go.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer you a magic carpet ride via our March catalogue. Climb aboard, get comfortable and let your imagination wander over the 1,126 intriguing items. I would like to point out a couple of important stops along the way: a stunning painting by Gustave Loiseau, formerly from the Collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum of Art; a significant collection of New Orleans silver, by Adolphe Himmel; and of interest to collectors of Louisiana material culture, a three-piece American Renaissance Revival rosewood half-tester chamber suite attributed to the New Orleans warehouse of Prudent Mallard, one of only four known Mallard bedrooms suites retaining its original bill of sale.

I am so pleased to announce our silver specialist, Charles C. Cage, has been asked by the Louisiana State University Museum of Art in Baton Rouge to be curator of the New Orleans silver gallery in

VIE's Photoshoot Production Team and NOAG's Operations Staff

NOAG recently hosted a fashion shoot for the March/April cover of VIE Magazine, which has a bimonthly circulation of 25,000 per issue and an editorial focus on Northwest Florida. Taylor Eichenwald, NOAG’s Director of Public Relations and Marketing, made sure the day went perfectly and it was a glamourous and exciting time for us, as we were able to experience firsthand what it takes to produce a high-end magazine photo shoot, as envisioned by publisher Lisa Burwell. Look for your copy of VIE with its lovely “Let Them Eat Cake” cover in bookstores across the country, including, yes, my personal favorite, Barnes & Noble. Or if you happen to be flying in or out of one of a number of major-hub airports across the South and East, you can pick up an issue to enjoy on your travels. I know, like me, you will marvel at how the auction house was transformed into a decadent, over-the-top, extravagant setting with two gorgeous models and breathtaking ensembles by Tieler James, an up-andcoming young New Orleans designer.

We would love to have you join us for our preview party, Thursday, March 10, 5 to 8 p.m., to enjoy a drink and hors d’oeuvres while you take in NOAG’s amazing auction items. The hammer goes up at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 12 and at 10 a.m. on Sunday, March 13.

And, of course, there is complimentary parking for all magic carpets.

See you soon!

Karolyn Kuntz Westervelt, prominent collector and philanthropist, was a quintessential New Orleans lady and a beloved member of the community. She was the daughter of Emile Nicholas Kuntz and Julia Hardin Kuntz, and the granddaughter of Rosemonde Elizabeth and Emile Kuntz, major collectors of important Louisiana paintings, furniture, decorative arts, historically significant documents and more.

Many pieces from The Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Collection are exhibited in the Permanent Collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art and numerous documents are contained in the Louisiana Research Collection at Tulane University.

The Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Rooms at the New Orleans Museum of Art exhibit carefully curated examples of American fine and decorative art relevant to New Orleans. Karolyn’s uncle, Felix Herwig Kuntz, first conceived of the rooms and the construction and furnishing of the rooms was done by Karolyn’s father, Emile N. Kuntz. Karolyn helped to complete the rooms along with her mother and sister after the death of her father. The Louisiana Bedchamber gallery opened in 1983 when the Kuntz family donated Felix’s collection in memory of his parents.

Karolyn's grandfather was awarded a legendary diamond necklace by the Hapsburg Emperor Maximilian of Mexico for outstanding service in representing the interests of the Bank of Austria to Imperial Mexico before its fall in 1867 and he used the sale of the diamonds to finance various land purchases throughout Southern Louisiana, notably in the oil and gas rich Terrebonne Parish. Her grandfather, who ran a real estate firm, was an avid collector of documents, paintings and furniture during and after the Great Depression.

Karolyn continued the rich legacy of her family by remaining active in numerous community and philanthropic endeavors, as well as continuing to be a very generous supporter of the arts. She served as a past President of the New Orleans Ballet and had been a former member of the Board of the New Orleans Museum of Art. She was a sustaining member of The Junior League of New Orleans and a member of the Colonial Dames of America. Karolyn was a graduate of The Louise S. McGehee School and attended Louisiana State University.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer impor tant paintings, furniture and decorative ar ts from the Estate of Karolyn Kuntz Westervelt.

Mark Chapman was an astute businessman, philanthropist, poet and painter. He was also a collector of fine art, amassing an impressive and eclectic collection of paintings, many of which will be offered in this sale.

Chapman grew up near Broughton, a small town 30 miles northwest of Manhattan, Kansas, and home to Kansas State University (KSU), where he earned bachelor’s degrees in history and political science in 1965. As a student, he was involved in the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps, Acacia fraternity and athletics, including football and track. After earning a Doctor of Jurisprudence at the University of Texas, Mark spent two years as a United States Army Signal Core officer stationed in Thailand. Upon discharge, he began investing in real estate in Houston. After the real estate market crashed, he entered the depressed oil and gas business, betting on his vision of the market’s future and risking substantial debt to do so. His venture into the oil and gas business ultimately prospered, and he began to purchase farmland in Kansas and Nebraska.

Chapman was a member of the KSU Foundation President’s Club, making significant gifts to Kansas State University for over 25 years. In addition to his support of the athletics department, his contributions established the Chapman Center for Rural Studies in History, an art gallery in Willard Hall and the Chapman-Mellenthin Plaza at the College of Veterinary Medicine. He helped develop the Chapman Scholars Program in the College of Arts and Sciences and supported two full-ride Presidential Scholarships.

He most recently provided funds for the School of Music, Theatre and Dance to become an “All-Steinway School”. Furthermore, the Mark A. Chapman Foundation, independently created by Mark, funds approximately 100 scholarships annually in Kansas and Texas.

In addition to his support for Kansas State University, Chapman has also made generous contributions in the greater Clay Center, Kansas community; made major donations to the Clay County Medical Center, including funding the Mark A. Chapman Wellness Center; and he has given scholarships to many Clay County High School graduates, to the Clay County Museum and to the Birger Sandzen Memorial Foundation.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer paintings from the Mark Chapman Collection.

Marjory Manget was born in Philadelphia, but moved to New Orleans in 1932 when she married Daniel Manget Jr., a cotton broker. While their four children were growing up, she and her husband established the Valencia Club, a place where teenagers could socialize and dance while being supervised by chaperones. Marjory also founded the Nine O’Clocks, a similar organization for younger teenagers, and she was the owner and operator of Ramblers, a club where preteens learned how to dance and meet people.

In 1951, Marjory’s husband developed Green Acres subdivision in Metairie to underwrite St. Martin’s Episcopal School, which had been established at the front of the development along Airline Highway (now Airline Drive). Her husband was the first president of the school’s board, and Mrs. Manget raised money and recruited students. Their children also attended the school.

Marjory also helped found the Women’s Auxiliary of the Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans chapter of the Freedoms Foundation. She was on the boards of the Bureau of Governmental Research and the Spring Fiesta, as well as a volunteer at Le Petit Theatre and McGehee School.

She and her husband had a passion for antiques. When Mrs. Manget and her husband purchased too many antiques on an overseas trip, she established the Georgian Shop to sell some of the pieces. While it began as an antiques shop, it became a store that offered fine stationery, children’s clothes and monogrammed garments over the course of its 18 years in operation.

Marjory remained active after the death of her husband in 1971. She joined the Southern Yacht Club and the Orleans Club, even taking a trip to Turkey at 89 years old and hosting a party for over 100 people at age 91. She died at age 97 in New Orleans.

New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer items from the Estate of Marjory Manget.

In 1739, Louis XV commissioned Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677‑1746) to sculpt monumental marbles to flank the pond in the garden of Chateau Marly, the hunting lodge built

by Louis XIV after his conversion of the previous lodge into the Palace of Versailles. Coustou’s sculptures of horse tamers and their horses were installed in 1745. The artist, surprisingly for the time, dismissed the allegorical, mythological or historical and instead chose to work from nature, observing the interaction and movement of actual trainers and horses. The sculptures proved immediately popular, and were considered Coustou’s masterpiece. At the height of the Revolution in 1795, at the urging of Jacques-Louis David (1748‑1825), the sculptures were moved to Place de la Revolution (now Place de la Concorde) in Paris, thus saved from the fate of the Chateau which was destroyed by revolutionaries. In 1984, the sculptures were moved a third time, to the Louvre, for conservation and protection and copies put in their place.

[800/1200] Illustrated 46 Abraham Danielsz Hondius (Rotterdam 1625/30‑1691 London), “Hunting Party, Resting at an Inn”, 1653, oil on cradled wood panel, signed and dated lower center left “A De Hont, 1653”, 35‑5/8” x 62”. Unframed. Provenance: Collection of Henry Stern, New Orleans, Louisiana to his grandson Paul Rosenthal, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [15000/25000] Illustrated Hondius was an artist acclaimed for his depictions of animals, and his considerable skill is evident in the painting of a hunting party presented here. The figures, depicted resting by an inn, with recently shot birds in the foreground and a pack of dogs in various poses, are presented like a tableau against a receding wooded landscape.

Hondius lived and worked during the Dutch Golden Age which spanned the 17th century, and was marked by the flowering of trade, industry, the arts and sciences. This, in turn, resulted in the rise of the urban merchant class. The new affluent middle class was the driving force in the popularity of certain subject matters in the pictorial arts, including the genre painting, still life, landscape and hunting scenes. Hunting, in particular, became a popular pastime with the Dutch aristocracy and those wealthy enough to own a country estate.

This particular painting, capturing the hours after a successful hunt, combines landscape, tavern, animal and “nature mort” genres and was meant to impress the patron’s visitors.

191 Circle of Antoine Jean Gros (French, 1771‑1835), “Marechal Antoine Adolphe Marcelin Marbot (1781‑1844)”, oil on canvas, unsigned, sitter identified on stretcher in period script and on artist brass plaque, 83‑1/4” x 64‑1/4”. Presented in a 19th-century carved giltwood frame. Provenance: Chateau de Mondetour, Morgny-la-Pommeraye (Normandy), France; Private collection, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [10000/15000] Illustrated Antoine Adolphe Marcelin Marbot came from a prominent military family. His father General Jean-Antoine Marbot was head of the Paris military district and died in the defense of Genoa under André Massena. His younger brother General Jean-Antoine Marcellin heroically served in the Napoleonic Wars, and later published a historical memoire of it. Antoine Adolphe's career was no less illustrious; he acted as the aidede-camp to Marshal Bernadotte in the Revolutionary Wars, and later in the Pennisular Wars and the Russian War of 1812, where he was wounded and captured as a prisoner of war. In 1830, he returned to active duty under King Louis-Philippe where he attained the rank of Marechal de Camp (Field Marshal, a rank equivalent to Sergeant Major General). The size of the portrait offered here, a size which is typically reserved for grand history paintings, is a collective homage to Marbot's service: the uniform epaulets reflect his rank; the field of military soldiers below bespeak of his ability to command as Field Marshal; the open map, which faintly spells out “Duche” possibly references his service under General Louis-Nicolas d’Avout, who was the Govenor-General of the Duchy of Warsaw under Napoleon; even the hunting dog- a pictorial trope of fidelity- speaks to the character of the sitter.

[500/800]

Georges Jacob was one of the two preeminent French cabinet-makers in the mid-to-late 18th century. He produced gilded beds, seats and table furniture for the court of Louis XVI and later the fledgling Republic following the French Revolution. Jacob apprenticed under JeanBaptiste Lerouge and Louis Delanois, where he was exposed to English furniture. Jacob was particularly drawn to the English cabinet-makers use of mahogany - a relatively new wood brought from the colonies. Not only was Jacob one of the first to introduce the wood to the French court, but he also excelled all others in the carving and construction of mahogany chairs in the Neoclassical style. Jacob is best known for his collaboration with the celebrated painter Jacques-Louis David and the architects Charles Percier and Leonard Fontaine. In David’s paintings from this period, notably “Paris and Helen” (1788), and “Madame Recamier” (1800), both the furniture (which Jacob designed for David’s studio) and the architectural designs of Percier and Fontaine are prominently featured.

This dynamic group of artists defined the Directoire style through their harmonious reduction of Classical architecture into elegant planar expanses of symmetry.

This collaboration is well illustrated in the occasional table offered here. The highly grained veneer is accentuated by minimally carved paterae and ring-turned tapered legs that are surmounted by papyrus-style capitals.

Though still Neoclassical in design, the capitals reflect the Directoire/early Empire style as they are clearly influenced

by Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign in 1798 and late 18th-century archeological excavations. The execution of these table legs directly relates to fauteuils that Jacob produced after a Percier design that is illustrated in Denise Ledoux-Lebard, Le Mobilier Francais: Dictionnaire des Ebenistes et des Menuisiers. Paris: Editions de L’Amateur, 1989, p. 283.

This painting and its respective under drawing appear to have been cut from a more extensive image depicting the Shakyamuni triad. Its scale and rendering suggest that this work was once displayed in a temple or monastery. It depicts a chapter of the Lotus Sutra in which the historical Buddha addresses a congregation on the sacred mountain of Vulture Peak. Typically, Shakyamuni, shown here seated on a blue lotus, is flanked by figures of Manjusri and Amitabha. Amitabha is visible to the left of the seated figure, while Manjusri appears to have been truncated.

This model was shown at the 1851 London Crystal Palace Exhibit; the candelabrum design from the Christofle Archives is illustrated in Henri Bouilhet, Christofle, 150 Ans d’Orfevrerie (Paris: Editions de Chene, 1981), page 67.

The unique serial number on this centerpiece (120293) is from Christofle’s first series used 1844‑1862. As that series is known to have run into the 300,000s, this piece must date fairly close to the Exhibition. The candelabra bear consecutive serial numbers (68955 and 68956) from Christofle’s second series, dating them to around 1862. (The model does not appear in Christofle’s 1862 catalogue, though it was very probably still available by special order.) For an identical but later pair of candelabra, with non-consecutive serial numbers and lacking the centerpiece, see the Collection of Suzanne Saperstein, Sotheby’s New York, April 19, 2012, lot 161.

279 Gustave Loiseau (French, 1865‑1935), “Le Port de Dieppe”, 1926, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, multiple gallery labels en verso include: “McColl Fine Art, Charlotte, North Carolina”, “Richard Green, London, UK”, “The J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, California” and partially visible handwritten “Galerie Durand-Ruel, Paris, France”, 23‑3/4” x 28‑7/8”. Presented in an antique giltwood and gesso frame. Provenance: Galerie DurandRuel, Paris; J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, California; Richard Green Galleries, London, United Kingdom; Private collection, France; McColl Fine Art, Charlotte, North Carolina; Chappell & McCullar, Fresno, California; Private collection, Houston, Texas. [150000/250000] Illustrated The post-impressionist landscapist Gustave Loiseau is widely acknowledged for his unusual and distinctive application of short brushstrokes of paint in complex layers - a technique alternately referred to as "touches croisees" or "croisee en treillis". This approach, combined with a bold juxtaposition of light and dark colors, results in a complex, textural surface which creates a sense of depth by enhancing the play of light, hue and shadow. Born into a Parisian trade family, Loiseau was initially apprenticed to a decorator. In 1888, an unexpected inheritance financially enabled him to enroll in l'Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and he moved to a house in Montmartre, which, interestingly, would later be the residence of Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Loiseau was soon disenchanted with the strict Academic approach to painting espoused by the school, and he left after only one year of study to enter the atelier of the artist Fernand Just Quignon (1854-1941). Quignon encouraged the young man to travel to PortAven where Loiseau became acquainted with the artists of the Pont-Aven School: Maxime Maufra (1861-1918), Henry Moret (1856-1913), Emile Bernard (1868-1941), Emile Dezaunay (1854-1938) and, most significantly, Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) after his return from Tahiti in 1894. With the encouragement of his new friends, Loiseau began to take part in the "Expositions des Peintures Neo Impressionistes et Symbolistes" at the Galerie le Barc de Boutteville and the Salon des Independants.

In 1894, in one of the most significant decisions of his career, he entered into a contract with Paul Durand-Ruel, a supporter and advocate of the various post-impressionist artists and an influential gallery owner in Paris and New York. This association with Durand-Ruel allowed Loiseau to embark on plein air painting excursions to the French countryside and the resulting works were exhibited at Durand-Ruel's galleries, first in New York and then in Paris.

Loiseau's earlier works reveal the influence of the Pont-Aven artists, especially the stylistic aspects of pointillism (with its abrupt and effective dabs of pigment) and Cloisonnism (with its emphasis on blocks of color). It was not until ca. 1910 that he adopted his characteristic cross-hatching technique. The artist continued to travel for the rest of his life, spending the summers in Normandy, Brittany and the Dordogne, and returning to his studio in Pontoise during the winter months. He would frequently return two, three or more times to the same location, painting it at different times of the day and under various weather conditions, though he rarely chose to paint at midday, feeling the direct sunlight was too intense and did not allow for the examination of light and shadow that he favored.

Loiseau preferred a muted palette of cool blues, mauves and creams - with accents of terracotta and bright blue and his distinct brushstroke is evident in the painting offered here in one of several views of Dieppe he is known to have painted.

This painting was formerly in the Collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum of Art and it is pictured in the Museum’s preliminary catalogue printed in 1972. Getty was a prodigious collector of art, and 13 years after his death in 1989 the Museum undertook a refining of the collection, which resulted in the offering at auction of 15 paintings.

Losieau’s view of Dieppe was one of the works selected for sale.

Ming (13681644) and Qing (1644-1911) 353 collectors regarded Ding among the ‘Five Classic Wares', along with Ru, Jun, Guan and Ge, the most coveted ceramics of the Song (960-1279) Dynasty.

Produced in Hebei Province as early as the ninth century, Ding wares were admired for their warm white coloring and slight translucence. By the eleventh century, the edges of Ding dishes were often left unglazed and later fitted with metal. This fushao method allowed vessels to be stacked in a more efficient use of kiln-space. Earlier Ding wares typically have very little embellishment. Objects from the eleventh century onward tend to be decorated with carved and incised patterns.

“America” is part of one of the last major series Roy Lichtenstein worked on before his death, and represents the culmination of “Beat Generation” art. “ The ten aquatint etchings Lichtenstein created for “La Nouvelle Chute de L’Amerique (The New Fall of America) was conceptualized as a collaborative project between the artist and poet Allen Ginzberg. The etchings were created in tandem with eleven poems by Ginzberg that symbolize American culture from coast to coast, with idiosyncratic titles like “From Denver to Montana”, “An Open Window on Chicago”, “Bayonne Entering NYC”, and “Graffiti 12th Cubicle Men’s Room Syracuse Airport.” Both the etchings and poems were assembled in a loose-folio limited edition of 80, published by the French publisher Editions du Solstice in Paris. An additional 45 (marked H.C.) were reserved exclusively for the authors and publishers.

The flag offered here is one of Lichtenstein’s most iconic images, which he manipulated throughout the years in his trade mark style of benday dots and directional line stenciling- mass commercial printing techniques he borrowed respectively from sign advertisements and comic books and newsprints in the 1950s and 1960s. Lichtenstein purposely drew his inspiration from pop culture, turning the landscape of kitsch iconography into a veritable art that discloses the artifice of its design, making people rethink the imagery they take for granted, whether it be the portrayal of sexuality and gender they see in print culture or the food they eat at the ballpark while standing for the national anthem. Lichtenstein was fascinated by the trivial, by how it becomes the visual landscape of our day to day lives, and tried to elevate it, in his own words, “into a purely American mythological subject matter”. Nowhere is motif better visualized than in the American flag, aptly titled “America.” Here the symbol that encapsulates not only the geographical terrain of the nation, but also its culture, which makes it distinctly American from Montana to New York City, is expressed in the print medium of its representation.

506 Jesus Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923‑2005), “Tiratura 45”, 1966, painted wood sculpture, inscribed “Edizioni Sergio Tosi/Jesus Soto 1966/ Tiratura 45” at bottom of base, h. 27”, w. 7”, d. 7”. [7000/10000] Illustrated

The sculptures by Jesus Rafael Soto offered here and in the lot en suite represent interesting mixtures of kinetic and op art. Though they do not actually move, create sound or motion either intrinsically or extrinsically as mobiles or sound sculptures do, they are optical tours de force of movement that continuously shift between 3D and 2D perceptions of space, blurring the boundaries between foreground/background and the usual assignation of them in terms of positive and negative space. Take for example “Tiratura 45.” As the name implies (which is an edition or print in Italian, and a cognate of the verb tirar - to pull/throw in Spanish), the sculpture is a visual play from the base to its apex. To look at the work frontally, the lower portion of the sculpture appears distinctly 3D, in which three blue, black and white wood strips are spatially in front of the large black wood block with painted white lines. As the viewer’s eye moves upward, the works merge, literally collapse, into the same 2D pictorial plane, even though the three strips appear taller. When viewed from the side, however, the white lines appear 3D as musical strings and the three wood strips are parallel in height to the black wood block. Similar effects of optical movement are experienced in the following “Untitled” lot with the diagonal placement of the steel rod and its cantilever support. In a 2001 interview with art collector and LatinArt.com founding president Dr. Hector Ziperovich, Soto characterizes the effect of his work as the creation of “ambiguous space.”

“We cannot define space. It is different for each person who sees it and tries to represent it.”

[7000/10000] Illustrated Soto became fascinated with illusion and movement as a young man while employed as a sign painter for a cinema in Ciudad Bolivar. His early forays in moving forms led to a scholarship at Cristobal Rojas School of Fine and Applied Arts in Caracas where he met fellow kinetic artists Alejandro Otero and Carlos Cruz-Diez. Following his graduation, Soto was appointed Director of the School of Fine Arts in Maracaibo in 1949. In 1950, Soto won a government scholarship to study in Paris, where he was exposed to the kinetic and op art circle of artists of the Galerie Denise Rene. Since then, Soto’s work has been exhibited worldwide, including a 1969 Retrospective at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and can be found in major public collections such as the MOMA, New York, and the Tate in London.

[8000/12000] Illustrated Fiaschi was a native of the Tuscan town of Volterra, and attended the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence from 1883‑1885. An accomplished sculptor of marble and alabaster, he gained a reputation in the competitive Florentine art community for his technical skill and mastery of sculptural composition, following in the grand tradition of such masters as Donatello (1386‑1466), Benvenuto Cellini (1500‑1571), and Giambologna (1529‑1608). Fiaschi was adept at depicting a range of textures, not an easy task in the unforgiving and rigid medium of marble; this is evident in the example presented here with the juxtaposition of the smoothness of the figure’s flesh with the roughness of the steps.

Specializing in classical and genre scenes and portraits of women, Fiaschi completed numerous private and public commissions, and was awarded the medal at the annual art competition of his hometown in 1890.

The rustic quality of this naively carved head bespeaks of its folkloric utility. As the expression in French denotes, “marotte porte-coiffe” (dummy head for wigs), these objects were designed to hold the shape of ordinary women’s bonnets and hats in the 18th/19th century.

Though there are many extant models, notably the papier-mache ones milliner’s used to display their wares, this type is distinctive to the high French Alps region of Queyras. These marottes are ensconced in superstition; they served as guardians, who looked over the bonnets and the domestic domain of their wearers and makers, hence the frozen wide-eyed stares and pursed lips. The primitive angular carving of the head and facial features also reflect regional carpentry. The soft Alpine pine was first planed, then the design or decoration was traced on the object before it was whittled with a short knife.

Queyras is part of the oldest mountain range in France and was not opened to public tourism until the end of the 20th century. As such, its’ customs and dress have remained largely intact for the past three centuries.

The region is known for its production of fine linen, most notably its lace, which is produced from the raw materials of wool, linen, hemp and cotton on a 15th centurystyle small circular loom called a tambour. The carved embroidery on the bust’s chemise and knotted bun fit with a finely stitched cotton bonnet are strikingly similar in design and fashion to the traditional clothes produced by this region. The scalloped pattern was commonly used on the “gounelloun”—a long knee-length chemise made of linen or hemp that was worn like a night shirt under a long black dress of wool (gounelle); and the down-turned angular sides of the bonnet and high gathered top knot are distinctive to the regional bonnet called “coiffe a gauto”—the slanted sides afforded protection to the ears from the mountain winds, while the height helped retain heat. In a photo taken of a town hall meeting in Queyras, ca. 1980 that was published in the Cahier du Queyras (2007), several of the women are wearing nearly identical block stitched cotton bonnets (coton en pique) to the one presented here.

There are a handful of these fine marotte specimens conserved in prominent collections such as the “Folk Arts” one of Elie and Viola Nadelman (purchased by the New York Historical Society in 1931) or in “The Objects of Daily Life in the Alps” in the Dauphinois Museum in Grenoble, but they are rare. It is even rarer to find Queyras marottes for sale, as they seldom come to auction, and when they do, it is almost exclusively in France and they and sell for between two and ten times their estimate. It is almost unprecedented to find one of this caliber with a period bonnet.

John Prescott Knight was a prolific portrait artist, who had a distinguished career with the Royal Academy in London, painting portraits of the British aristocracy. In 1823, he entered the school after apprenticeships with George Clint and Henry Sass. He went on to specialize in portraiture,making his debut in 1824 with subsequent works being exhibited in 1828 at the British Institute. In 1836 and 1844, respectively, he was appointed Associate and Academician of the Royal Academy, followed by a Professorship from 1848‑1873 in Perspective. He also served as the Secretary of the Academy for twenty-six years, before he retired in 1873 with a life pension from the trustees. The portrait offered here of Esquire Charles Dixon reflects Knight’s mature style, characterized by near life-size portraits in three-quarter or frontal poses with finely delineated facial features centered by bold forms set against sparsely decorated tertiary backdrops, which the London Art Journal declared in its review of the painting to be a “great production of reality and power” when it was exhibited in 1839 at the Royal Academy. Charles Dixon, like many of Knight’s sitters, exuded the same mien as his portrait. Dixon was a wealthy London merchant and philanthropist, who founded Stansted College in Sussex for his less fortunate retired brethren with limited means.

Presented in a period giltwood frame. Provenance: Estate of A. Hays Town, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [175000/250000] Illustrated On April 22, 1883, The Times-Democrat published a four-page article “appealing to those living in the city of New Orleans of the beauty and charm of Attakapas or Acadian lands of Southwest Louisiana“—a favored destination of William Henry Buck. In the opening page, the article boasts that with a short train ride or two-hour gallop on horseback, one can arrive in a sublime glade redolent of the Buck offered here: “Near to the bank on the river over-shadowed by oaks, from whose branches garlands of Spanish moss and of mystic mistletoe flaunted”. The article, which largely romanticizes the Attakapas herdsmen as Western novel cowboys, concludes with a poignant description of Indian Bayou in Vermilion Parish as a body of water that opens up into an expansive waterway in the direction of the Gulf fifty yards out from its center. The enticing description, written for the allure of city folk mesmerized by the promise of virgin frontiers, is a visual treasure map for discerning the landscape in this painting. From this viewpoint, the bayou, lined with iconic cypress trees laden in Spanish moss, opens up just past a wooden plank footbridge into a vast estuary with a schooner in the distance. Similarly, Indian Bayou is situated in the Morganza Floodway system of the Atchafalaya basin shortly before it converges with the Gulf of Mexico. In 1884, a few months after the Times-Democrat published its ode to Acadia, Buck painted a landscape of Indian Bayou at the mouth of the river basin, which was sold in these rooms on September 22, 2001, as lot 1225. Painted from the opposite side and to the right of the center foreground in the painting offered here, Buck’s 1884 painting of Indian Bayou depicts the same hydrography, and the same flora, notably the two cypress trees along an arched plank footbridge. Though wooden footbridges commonly appear in Buck’s landscapes, they are typically level, not arched architrave single-suspension ones. Only one other know suspension bridge (a two-part one) is known in his extant work. Whether the Times-Democrat’s review was influenced by Buck’s quiescent landscape of Acadia, ethereally lit from behind, in the plein air-style of the Barbizon School, or the painterly review influenced Buck to travel there by rail car will never be known.

Presented in a period water-gilt frame. Provenance: The Estate of Karolyn Kuntz Westervelt, New Orleans, Louisiana. Exhibited: New Orleans Museum of Art, Richard Clague Retrospective, November 17‑December 30, 1974, #68; Louisiana State Museum, Friends of the Cabildo, 250 Years of Life in New Orleans, The Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Collection and the Felix H. Kuntz Collection, Exhibition Part III, May 21‑June 23, 1965, #55.

After the U.S. Government, in 1850, declared the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana to be a “health zone” almost completely free of the ravages of yellow fever, malaria and other diseases which flourished in the humid, densely populated New Orleans, visitors began to flock to the towns of Madisonville, Mandeville and Covington. The need for hotels, spas and resorts to accommodate these people, some of whom became permanent residents, necessitated an active building community. Madisonville, which had been for some time a shipbuilding and sawmill town, began to flourish. Transport and building had been an important part of the port town’s identity from its establishment by Jean Baptiste Baham (1730‑1812) in 1800, and there had been active sawmills in the region for some time. It is therefore not surprising that an artist such as Richard Clague, who was intensely interested in the landscape and industry of Louisiana, would choose to paint a scene such as the one presented here. Other works by the artist that reveal the same juxtaposition of nature and commerce include scenes of drilling rigs, farm workers, and train tracks. [40000/80000] Illustrated

893 Louisiana School (18th Century), “Portrait of Karl Friedrich, Chevalier d’Arensbourg (1693‑1777), pencil, watercolor and oil on paper, 10‑1/4” x 7‑5/8”.

Presented in a 19th-century giltwood molded frame.

Provenance: The Estate of Karolyn Kuntz Westervelt, New Orleans, Louisiana. [800/1200] Illustrated Exhibited: Louisiana State Museum, Friends of the Cabildo, 250 Years of Life in New Orleans, The Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Collection and the Felix H. Kuntz Collection, Exhibition Part I, January 30 March 10, 1965, #17. Literature: Ellen Miles. Portrait Painting in America: The Nineteenth Century. (New York: Main Street/Universe Books, 1977), illustrated p 31.

A native Swede of German ancestry, Karl Friedrich (Charles Darensbourg) was born in the town of Stettin (alternately over the years under Swedish, German or Polish control) into an influential and wealthy family.

His father held the prestigious position of master of the Royal Mint, until a change in the political environment resulted in his arrest in 1698, eventual imprisonment, and the confiscation of his estate and assets.

Despite his family’s frequently rather desperate situation, Friedrich received a military education and achieved the rank of captain in the navy. In 1721, he accepted the command of a contingent of over 250 Germans who traveled to America to settle in Louisiana under the financial auspices of the West Indies Company (also referred to as the Company of the Indies in some contemporaneous and later documentation). Shortly after arriving in Louisiana, Friedrich married a fellow German, Marguerite Metzrin (listed as Metzer in some sources). After a particularly harsh and destructive hurricane season in 1722, which destroyed many of their homes, the disheartened settlers began to a make plans to return to Europe. The then Governor of Louisiana, Jean Baptiste le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, in an ultimately successful attempt to encourage them to stay, offered the Germans prime land on either side of the Mississippi River about 25 miles above New Orleans. This area, now part of St. Charles and St. John the Baptist Parishes, was known as the “German Coast”. Friedrich was named a Chevalier de St. Louis

by Louis XV and upon his death in 1777 was deemed a Patriarch. His son and heir Charles married Marguerite Francoise Marie de la Vergne in 1766, his grandson Jean-Baptiste married Mathilde Peret in 1805, and his great-granddaughter Mathilde married Placide Perret in 1826. These marital connections, and others made by various members of his family, inextricably link the Friedrich family to many of the most prominent Creole families in Louisiana.

This unflinching and unidealized portrait of Friedrich, completed in his old age, is reminiscent of the Germanic tradition of portraiture suggesting that the unknown artist had received some Academic training in Europe and may have been a member of the then flourishing Louisiana German community.

[5000/8000] Illustrated Father Pierre Cyril de la Croix was born on June 1, 1817 in Evreux, l’Eure, France. The circumstances of his immigration to the United States are not known, but he received his training at St. Mary’s Seminary of the West (now Mount St. Mary’s) in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was ordained on June 3, 1847. His first assignment was as assistant rector of St. Patrick’s in New Orleans. There, he made the acquaintance of parishioner William Blair Lancaster (1826‑1896), a Florida native and lawyer who had studied in Paris.

There, Lancaster befriended the Blessed AntoineFrederic Ozanam (1813‑1853), founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Lancaster converted to Catholicism and, upon his return to New Orleans, he and Father de la Croix established the first branch of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in the south.

Father de la Croix was made pastor of St. Gabriel’s in St. Gabriel, Louisiana in 1859, and it was almost certainly this occasion of his departure from New Orleans that he was presented this handsome pitcher from the members of the Society which he founded. In November 1865, Father de la Croix was appointed pastor of St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge, a position he would retain for the rest of his life. He founded the Baton Rouge chapter of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul in 1865, and oversaw the establishment many charitable and educational organizations for his parishioners, including the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille Orphanage (now St. Joseph’s Academy) and the the Brothers of the Sacred Heart St. Vincent’s Academy (now Catholic High School). He died on December 7, 1893, and is interred in the marble sanctuary of St. Joseph Cathedral.

John Whiting Stock’s portraits are flat with little pictorial depth and stiffly depict the sitters frontally standing or seated in Victorian parlors or landscapes. While his compositions are prototypical of folk painters, what sets Stock’s works apart from his contemporaries are the subtle compositional differences and extraordinary attenuation to detail. True, all Folk artists struggled with perspective and anatomy, but while the floor planes are slightly raised in the portraits of Oliver Eddy and Robert Peckham, there are crisply delineated floorboards, chair rails, and window edges that illustrate some inchoate perspective. With Stock, there is no such depth, as he could not render horizontal planes (depth) in space. This is well illustrated in his backgrounds where the floors and walls meet. In his early works, such as “Jane Tyler”, Stock muddles the background so poorly that the parlor floor appears like a reflection of water.

What makes Stock’s work so unique is how he learned to compensate for his deficiencies. In the early 1840s he hides plane junctures behind drapery and furniture; by the mid1840s, he develops an unusual use of aerial perspective, whereby carpets and floors gradually become less saturated in color and merge with the palette of the background.

This effect is prominently seen in both this work and in his portraits of “John and Louisa Stock” (1845), “The Blaksley Boys” (1845) and “Girl in Pink Dress” (ca. 1845-1855). Unlike Peckham, who employed a direct light source, Stock did not.

His lighting is uniform, albeit it becomes lighter toward the top of the background. These tonal shifts represent another artifice for the illusion of depth. Another key feature in this lot that is highly suggestive of Stock’s oeuvre is fine, historically accurate, attention paid to the sitter’s dress, to the carpet and to the turned legs and reverse finials on the side table.

The girl’s short center-parted hair, bare shoulder dress and fan-pleated bodice above pantalettes were period fashion, ca. 1845-1855. The same applies to the black-laced boots. By 1850, they replaced the button-boots seen in Stock’s portrait of “Mary Child” (1846). One of the most striking features of Stock’s paintings are his carpets. They occupy a significant portion of the foreground and are rendered with the same care as the sitters’ features are. With the exception of Stock’s signature, this portrait bears all the signature characteristics of him. Of the 1000 paintings he is believed to have executed, only forty-five are known to be signed or dated by him; the rest are attributions to be discovered.

[1500/2500] Illustrated Last year the Federal Government released to the American public for sale thousands of hand-made copper engraving plates used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS); the rest were gifted to major institutions and universities. The plates, produced between 1880 and 1950 in sets of three, were used to produce topographic and geologic maps of various regions and cities in the United States: one plate, inked in black, denoted cultural features and text; another inked in blue illustrated bodies of water; and a third printed in brown ink delineated topographical contours. Each quadrangle plate (produced in mirror image for printing purposes) was etched by a USGS cartographic engraver, and contains historic and scientific information, including cultural transportation, boundary features, hydrography and geology. The extraordinary crispness of these plates has been preserved, as the plates themselves were not actually used to make the maps, but instead, were transferred to a large lithographic stone in order make to make multiple prints.

These stunning copper plates are truly rare American memorabilia; they are both historical records and veritable works of art.

1016 Important Three-Piece American Renaissance Revival Rosewood Half-Tester Chamber Suite, ca. 1871, attributed to the New Orleans warerooms of Prudent Mallard and accompanied by its original bill of sale, consisting of a halftester bedstead, h. 114”, inside, w. 62”, l. 83”, outside, w. 71”, l. 89”, a single-door mirrored armoire, h. 114”, w. 58”, d. 24”, and a marble-top washstand, h. 42”, w. 40”, d. 22”. Provenance: Purchased

by Madame Adele Bouny in 1871 for her home at 19 St. Louis Street in the French Quarter, New Orleans; To daughter Jeanne Bouny Miltenberger, wife of Edwin John Miltenberger. The suite remained at the Miltenberger family home at 1228 Third Street in the Garden District of New Orleans until Jeanne’s death in 1950; Thence to Amelie Miltenberger Hawxhurst, 1526 Third Street; To Henry James Miltenberger in the late 1970s and to his heirs, the present consignors, in 1996. [12000/18000] Illustrated

The present suite is one of four known Mallard bedroom suites retaining their original bill of sale. One of those suites is currently in the collection of the Louisiana State Museum and exhibited in the “1850 House” Pontalba apartments, New Orleans. Another is currently exhibited at “The Gallier House Museum”, New Orleans. A third suite is presently in private hands. Bedchamber furniture similar to the pieces in the present suite, with integral rather than removable crests, dominated by a cabochon in the armoire and dressing bureaus, have surfaced in the marketplace from time to time. Up until now, they have been assumed to be from Mallard’s warerooms based on stylistic similarities to the other documented suites. The present group, with its bill of sale, establishes that this group of “integral crest” furniture can now be attributed with confidence to Mallard’s enterprise. Current scholarship suggests that these pieces were crafted elsewhere in the United States and then sold in the New Orleans market.

Provenance: Private collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico. [3000/5000] Illustrated Born in Paris of Russian/French parentage, Tzapoff attended l’Ecole Duperre (l’ecole superieure des arts appliques Duperre). Upon completion of his studies, he worked for over ten years in the studio of Victor Vasarely (1906‑1997). In the mid-1970s, influenced by his childhood fondness for stories of the American West, he began to create works inspired by 19th-century America, particularly its Native American heritage. Tzapoff had his first solo exhibition in 1977 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, followed by one in Paris the next year.

In his portraits of Native Americans, as seen in the work offered here and in the following two lots, Tzapoff pays close attention to the historical accuracy of the various elements - the landscape, the costume, the weaponry.

Lots 1071-1093: A Collection of 19th-20th Century Japanese Cloisonne As Japan’s merchant middle class expanded during the Edo period (1615-1868), many creative forms including cloisonné enameling evolved to cater to this new demographic’s voracious appetite for luxury. Prior to the nineteenth century, cloisonné or shippo, the art of fusing glass and enamel to a substrate material, was applied exclusively to small surfaces such as sword fittings, screen handles and nail covers. In Nagoya in the 1830s, Kaji Tsunekichi (1803-1883), the second son of a samurai, under the patronage of the daimyo Tokugawa Keisho, began producing a range of shippo objects which included cups, tray, ink and brush sets. Kaji’s apprentices included Hayashi Shogoro (c.1835-1896) who was pivotal in the spread and growth of shippo.

Hayashi trained Tsukamoto Kaisuke (1828-1897), Hayashi Kiyoe (1848-1931), Hayashi Kodenji I (1831-1915) and Tsukamoto Jinemon (1830-1890). Tsukamoto Kaisuke taught in Yokohama and Kyoto, while Tsukamoto Jinemon trained Kumeno Teitaro (1861-1939) in Nagoya and Honda Yosaburo (active 1870s-1910) in Kyoto.

The influx of Western technologies into Japan during the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912), contributed significantly to innovations in shippo in the 1870s. The German chemist, Gottfried Wagner (1831-1892) fostered advances in enameling with techniques derived from his work with ceramics that resulted in brighter and more varied palettes. He began collaborating with Tokyo-based cloisonné artists from Nagoya in 1872 and helped curate an exhibition of shippo in Vienna in 1873. By the mid-1870s, Wagner was advising the H. Ahrens Company, a German decorative arts commission that would be acquired by Namikawa Sosuke (18471910) in 1877.

Shippo wares reached new technical and aesthetic heights and were tremendously popular domestically and abroad between the 1880s and 1910s, the “Golden Age of Japanese Cloisonné.” The imperial family patronized artists including Hayashi Kodenji, Sosuke and Ando Jubei and collectors from Philadelphia to Paris were enamored with the beauty and sophistication of Japanese cloisonné enamelwork. Its superb and unsurpassed artistry inspired the likes of Frederic Boucheron (1830-1902) and LaCloche Freres in France, Elkington & Co. in England and Tiffany and Co. in the United States.
