l e t t er f r o m t he c e o Choices – our lives are filled with them. From what career to pursue to what to have for lunch, we are being asked to take turns along the roads of our lives’ journeys on a seemingly minute-by-minute basis. And when it comes to our homes, our places of retreat, they are no different. Our homes are our shelters; havens we have created for ourselves. But when we step through our front doors, we open up ourselves to countless decorating choices. And some prove to be amazing and satisfying, and some are, well… perhaps not what we had hoped for. I vividly remember the first house for which I had the opportunity to truly decorate. It allowed for a generous enough budget that I could expand my choices from buying at secondhand shops and flea markets to purchasing brand-new items and valued antiques. I was thrilled, but I was also scared. Maybe frozen like a rabbit in the road is a better way to put it. The number of choices that lay before me were overwhelming. I consulted with a couple of decorators, and of course, they had an abundance of ideas and plans; however, I still wrestled with decisions. As lovely as their choices were, somehow their presentations did not quite fit my somewhat unformed yet specific ideas of what I envisioned. I had not developed my own personal decorating criteria, which can make the simplest of choices daunting. Time and experience helped, but through the years, I still made choices with the vague feeling the staff of Architectural Digest was looking over my shoulder, judging my choices as to their worthiness, style and creativity. My unwise choices were often made when I was trying for a look that I thought should be right but ultimately did not feel right. One of the advantages of age is perspective. I finally realized nobody is going to arrest me for bad decorating choices. I have developed a certain decorating bravado, choosing what I love and am comfortable with.

I think the polite term for my style would be “eclectic.” My home is a hodgepodge of beloved pieces I have acquired through the years and cannot part with. Will Architectural Digest ever call me to photograph my house? Absolutely not. Are my choices perfect? No. But perfect enough for me and my family. And that’s what makes me happy. That eclectic style, in great part, is what draws me to the 1,345 choices in New Orleans Auction Galleries' Important Fall Estates Auction. The three-day sale features property from estates and collections throughout the country, including Natchez and Jackson, Mississippi; Birmingham, Alabama; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana; Lincoln City, Oregon; Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas and others. Highlights include a monumental George Rodrigue painting of the “Cajun Highway Police” that was exhibited at the State Capital, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; an extensive and important collection of art glass; a lovely collection of Southern works on paper; a selection of 18th to early 20th century Continental and British carved wood artist’s lay figures and models; a large selection of lighting and much more. I invite you to view these items in person at our reception on Thursday, October 13, from 5-8:00 p.m. As always, we will have delicious hors d'oeuvres and cocktails on hand to add to the fun. The hammer goes down and the bidding starts on Friday, October 14 at 1:00 p.m. and continues on Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. I hope you join us, and I hope you find many pieces that speak to you and your personal style. Pieces that fit into your home … not because they are “right” or to be approved by anyone, but pieces, or more specifically choices, that are perfect enough and make you happy.

James Cooper Westerfield jackson, MISSISSIPPI

James Cooper Westerfield (Jim) was born August 11, 1933 in Jackson, Mississippi. He attended Jackson Public Schools (Bailey Jr. High and Central High School) and spent his freshman college year in Washington, D.C., ultimately returning home to enroll in Millsaps College. Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college years were interrupted by the draft in the U.S. Army, in which he served for two years. Stationed at Fort Sam Houston Medical Military Training, his tour of duty took him first to Korea for eighteen months; he completed his tour at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. After returning to civilian life, Jim moved to New York to attend Interior Design School. He worked part time for several years with Bloomingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in New York, but decided to move back to Jackson to begin his own interior design business, Westerfield Antiques & Interiors, Inc. For 55 years, Jim was retained by clients living in Los Angeles, Dallas, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota's Long Boat Key. The most recent project that he completed was at The Pinnacle on Grace Bay Road in Turks and Caicos. His work has been published in numerous magazines including Veranda, Architectural Digest, Interior Design, The Design Specifier, Los Angeles Times and other notable publications. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer furniture, fine art and decorative arts from the Estate of James Westerfield.

Elaine Smith Frost White houston, texas and east hampton, new york

Elaine Smith Frost White, a native Houstonian, was born in June 1904. She moved to New York to pursue an acting career, returning to Houston after completing her program. Upon her return, Elaine caught the eye of legendary Texas oilman C.M. “Pete” Frost. Aside from his successful ventures in the oil business, Pete also owned Figure 4 Ranch, a 1,900 acre homestead specializing in Brahman and Charolais cattle. He was one of the earliest “pioneers” in the industry and among the first to import Charolais, a breed of cattle native to the Burgundy region of France. Pete was enamored by Elaine at first sight; the two married in 1930. The young couple purchased the land at 2110 River Oaks Boulevard from the Hogg family and enlisted renowned architect John Staub to design and build their home. Elaine was an avid collector and loved to decorate. Rarely did a day go by that she didn’t buy something. Many of the items offered in this sale are from the River Oaks home she shared with Pete. When the two divorced in 1953, Elaine remained in the house. After her divorce, Elaine met Alfred T. White and the two later married. Elaine and Alfred traveled extensively, especially throughout Europe. They spent summers in the home that they purchased in East Hampton, New York. Alfred died in February 1992 and Elaine passed away in July 1993. New Orleans Auction Galleries is honored to offer antiques and fine art from the Estate of Elaine Smith Frost White from her homes in Houston and East Hampton.

Dr. Linda Wilbourn Natchez, Mississippi

Dr. Linda Wilbourn was born in Jackson, Mississippi to Champion Wilbourn and Marjorie Barnett. She earned a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in Accounting from Bellhaven University and a Doctorate Degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi. After completing her education, Linda started her own practice in Natchez, Mississippi, a rare feat for a woman in Southern Mississippi at the time and an accomplishment that garnered respect and admiration from many. Her friends and family fondly remember Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp, quick wit, her strong work ethic, elegant demeanor, kindness and generosity. She loved entertaining and was known for her lavish dinner parties, especially her annual Christmas celebration. She used the finest porcelain, silver and furniture to host her opulent gatherings. Linda restored and remodeled several historic homes, including properties in Canton and Edwards, Mississippi, and most recently in Natchez. She also was an avid collector of jewelry and antiques, mainly French and Italian paintings, furniture and decorative arts, that was fueled by her love of travel. She ventured all over the world, including Ireland, India, Germany and others. No matter where she was in the world, Linda made sure to stop into the local antique shops and add to her venerable collection. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer the lifetime collection of Dr. Linda Wilbourn.

9 Loredano Rosin (Italian/Murano, 1936‑1992), Calcedonia Glass Cobra Sculpture, third quarter 20th century, composed of aubergine and mauve glass, the cobra depicted with his head up and his hood spread, with an engraved “Loredano Rosin” mark, h. 19‑3/4”, w. 9‑3/4”, d. 10‑3/4”. [1200/1800] Illustrated The production of Calcedonia glass is a difficult technique which incorporates a precise amount of silver nitrate to produce the luminous, yet ultimately uncontrollable, striations of color. It was originally created in the mid-15th century in Murano, Italy; the technique was forgotten until the 19th century when it was briefly revived by the glass master Lorenzo Rad (1803‑1874). In the mid-70s, Loredano Rosin began to work with Calcedonia glass, believing the technique enhanced the smooth, fluid forms of his hand-sculpted glass. Rosin, a native of Venice, was trained - along with his siblings - in the ancient Murano glass blowing tradition. After serving his apprenticeship, during which he experimented with glass sculpting, he eventually opened his own studio. The cobra presented here, with its unexpected streaks of umber, purple and green, is a wonderful example of the serendipitous nature of this technique.

Provenance: The Flatt Collection. [700/1000] Illustrated Lay figures/mannequins are truly the “silent partners” in the history of art. It is purported that they were employed as anatomical aids by Ancient Greek sculptors, though no true evidence of them predates the Italian Renaissance, during which they were used by some of the most talented artists of the time. Michelangelo used them in his commission of the Sistine Chapel to better register light, shadow and perspective, while lying on his back on a ceiling scaffold, and Fra Bartolomeo, according to Giorgio Vasari, was the first artist to devise a fully articulated lifesize lay figure in wood. As Jane Munro states in her book Silent Partners: Artist and Mannequin from Function to Fetish, lay figures were never “artistic ‘props’ designed to assist artists of limited conceptual and technical abilities”. Since the Renaissance, the smaller lay figures/ maquettes, made of secondary woods like pine and walnut/fruitwoods, were used to rehearse a movement or pose, in much the same way sculptors use modelli. As these lots illustrate, they were typically androgynous and came in a range of sizes generally under twenty-four inches. Larger life-size figures and mannequin bust were almost exclusively used for modelling drapery.

Pierre Tetar van Elven, royal court painter to VictorEmmanuel II, King of Sardinia, had a very successful career as an architectural genre painter, chronicling cityscapes abroad, including splendidly “exotic” places like Sardinia, Jerusalem and Morocco. Tetar van Elven was born into an artistic “Dutch School” family, from whom he received his early training. His father, Jan Baptiste Tetar van Elven (1805-1839), was an accomplished painter, lithographer and metal engraver of architectural scenes, as was his uncle/cousin Paul Tetar van Elven (1823-1896), who was but a mere five years his senior. After studying with his father, Tetar van Elven attended the Academy of Fine Art in Amsterdam and later the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague where he was a student of Jacobus Everhardus Josephus van den Berg (Dutch, 1802-1861), the accomplished portraitist and genre painter. From 1856 to 1861 he went on to study first in Paris, France, and then in Italy, before returning to Paris in 1861 where he exhibited widely over the next five years, receiving many prestigious honors and accolades, including the sale of a painting “La Soiree au Tuileries” to Emperor Napoleon III and the order of knight by the King of Sardinia.

The painting offered here exemplifies Tetar van Elven’s mature style- a unique blend of architectural (disegno) realism that appealed to the French and Italian academies that privileged finely drawn “Grand Tour” historical sceneshence the highly coveted “Prix de Rome” in the French Salon, with Romantic lighting and fascination with the exotic in a distinctly Dutch genre- vignettes of daily life, called “Genre painting”. Here a mundane scene of commoners congregating around the plaza fountain to wash and water their livestock is elevated to an art that rivals the Gothic splendor of the cathedral and buildings that frame it.

560 British School (First Quarter 19th Century), “Portrait of Dorothy, Lady Knatchbull, nee Honywood”, oil on canvas, unsigned, likely after a painting by Cornelius Johnson (Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, Dutch/British, 1593‑1661, active England 1618‑1643), expository inscription along upper edge revealing sitter’s name and lineage, 30” x 24‑3/4”. Framed. [1000/1500] Illustrated The sitter of this painting was born in 1611 to Sir Robert Honywood and Alice Barnham (erroneously transcribed as Bunham on the inscription). She was married firstly to Sir Edward Steward of Essex and secondly to Sir Norton Knatchbull, 1st Baronet of Marsham Hatch, Kent. A portrait of her sister Judith, Lady Pelham was completed in 1635 by Cornelius Johnson, then the official painter of the Court of Charles I. That portrait is very similar in size, composition and the placement and wording of the inscription to the work presented here, suggesting that this painting of Lady Knatchbull is possibly a copy of an earlier work (now location unknown) by Johnson.

Sir John Taylor was the son of Patrick Talizour and Martha Taylor. His mother was from a prominent and prosperous Jamaican merchant family and shortly after the marriage his father adopted the Taylor name; this name change was likely a nuptial condition put forth by the bride’s family. The younger Taylor attended St. John’s College, Oxford and upon completion of his studies in 1770, embarked on the obligatory Grand Tour of Europe. During his travels he became acquainted with the artist John Zoffany (German, 1733‑1810) , and was one of the models for the grand historical painting “The Tribunal of Uffizzi”. Upon his return to London, Taylor’s interest in art and antiques, which had been piqued by his travels, resulted in the formation of numerous friendships and associations with collectors, artists, and fellow admirers of art. In 1776, he was elected a member of the exclusive and somewhat secretive Society of Dilettanti, a club which had formed ca. 1734, ostensibly as a dinner club for gentlemen who had taken part in the Grand Tour to gather and reminisce. The writer Horace Walpole once commented that the Society was a club “…for which the nominal qualification is having been in Italy, and the real one, being drunk.” Taylor ultimately became an integral part of the Society. There are several portraits of Taylor, most well-known of which is the ca. 1777-1779 group portrait of the members of the Society Dilettanti, completed by fellow member Sir Joshua Reynolds; in this painting Taylor is pictured second from left, a glass of wine in one hand, the other dangling a woman's beribboned garter. While the Society had a reputation as being somewhat wild in its early years, it eventually became crucial to the formation of the Royal Academy, and was responsible for the creation of numerous scholarships, travel grants and exhibitions.

The well-liked Taylor was considered a bit of a dilettante and roue, and his proposal of marriage in 1774 to Elizabeth Haughton was initially dismissed by her family who rightfully feared his lifestyle was too wild and dissolute to properly accomodate a wife. By 1778, after he inherited the Baronetcy of Lyssom Hall and had proved himself an ultimately responsible Englishman, the family changed their mind and the two wed. They eventually had six children together. There are several portraits of Taylor, most well-known of which is the ca. 1777‑1779 group portrait of the members of the Society Dilettanti; in this painting Taylor is pictured second from left, a glass of wine in one hand, the other dangling a woman’s beribboned garter.

At the age of 15 she enrolled in Converse College in Spartanburg, where she excelled in French, art, and music. In 1897, she convinced her parents to allow her to move to New York where she attended the Arts Students League and studied with such acclaimed artists as William Merritt Chase and John Henry Twachtman. She eventually followed Twachtman to Cos Cob, Connecticut, where she spent a summer painting and studying at the vibrant art colony.

In 1940, Malone embarked on a comprehensive tour of Europe and Asia. Through a fortuitous combination of talent, charm, and perseverance, Malone was able to establish friendships with many of the most promising artists of the day, including Mary Cassatt, Auguste Rodin, and the notoriously taciturn Claude Monet; the last not only agreed to review her work, but also gave her almost unprecedented access to his garden. Her time in France had a profound effect on her painting style, and she was to continue to incorporate the techniques she learned there into her work throughout her life. Malone exhibited widely while in Europe, including at the American Art Students’ League, Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Salon d’Automne, the Royal Academy in London, and had a solo exhibit at the Lyceum Club in Paris. The work presented here is one of several that Malone completed of the Irish countryside. It is documented in her letters, now conserved at the Caroliniana Library of the University of South Carolina, that she was commissioned by the art collector William Nash to paint several Irish landscapes. It is possible that this painting was a part of that commission. References: Pennington, Estill Curtis and Severens, Martha R.

747 Louis Gabriel Moreau, a gifted draughtsman, etcher and painter of landscapes, had a prodigious career. After studying with Pierre-Antoine de Machy, who specialized in painting Grand Tour themes- landscapes redolent with Classical ruins and tromp-l’oeil architectural scenes, he went on to become a member of the Academie de St. Luc, artist to Comte d’Artois (later King Charles X), and curator of the National Museum in Paris. Moreau, a master of watercolors and gouaches, combined the picturesque architectures of his master de Machy with naturalistically, almost plein-air rendered, topographical landscapes in the Ile-de-France region just outside of Paris.

Moreau’s fascination with the effects of light at different times of the day precipitated his use of a lighter palette, characterized by warm yellows and verdant foliage punctuated by deep ultramarine blues instead of browns. Moreau’s predilection for natural light made him equally successful following the French Revolution, in which the Third Estate toppled the landed gentry and their royal established academies. Before 1789, French castles and estates in lush settings of abundance were Moreau’s preferred subject; the painting offered exemplifies this style- a style that he established himself on as an artist for nearly twenty-five years exhibiting annually at the Academie

de St. Luc. Following the Revolution, Moreau’s, bright palette and light drenched compositions with voluminous clouds and ruins dotting the low horizon remained; his subjects, on the other hand, became distinctly more humble, showcasing daily life scenes of farmers, fishermen, modest structures and gardens. Both Moreau’s pre- and postRevolutionary paintings are equally desired by collectors and institutions. Richard Owen (1873‑1946), a prominent British art dealer of French art in the early-to-mid 1900s, who purchased this lot for 950 Francs at the Devaux Sale in 1907, owned a few Moreaus that he exhibited widely in Boston and New York in 1933 in the “Richard Owen Collection of 18th Century French Drawings and Watercolors” at the Worcester Art Museum, The Fogg Art Museum, Carnegie Hall Art Gallery, and Brummer Gallery, New York. Additional numbered labels on the back of this Moreau suggest that it too may have been exhibited as part of the Richard Owen Collection.

[2500/4000] Illustrated Marinsky studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, and the Pratt Institute, New York, before working as an illustrator and art editor for several national homes and gardens magazines, positions he obtained immediately upon graduation. As a young man, he had experimented with molding and casting while attending the Technical High School in Providence, and he soon found himself moving away from illustrative work and towards sculpture. In 1940, his work was included in the prestigious “30 American Artists” exhibition at the Montrose Gallery in New York. His first solo exhibition was at the Eggleston Gallery, New York in 1951. Marinsky’s long association with the Fonderia Luigi Tommasi (after 1985, absorbed into the Fonderia d’Arte Massimo del Chiaro) in Pietresanta, Italy began in 1968. By 1972, Marinsky had settled in the area, where he was to spend the remainder of his life. His slightly abstracted but solid figures reveal an acute knowledge of the human body - likely a remnant of his intensive drawing training - and an understanding of its relationship and interaction with the space it occupies. In this way he is reminiscent of the great Mexican sculptor Francisco Zuniga. Marinsky was a Fellow of the National Sculptor Society and his work illustrations and sculptures - are in numerous private and public collections, including a number of paintings conserved at the Hunt Botanical Library at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. 924

Provenance: Purchased from the artist through Galeria Misrachi, Mexico City, Mexico; private collection, New Orleans, Louisiana. Exhibited: “Seldom Seen”, Arts Council of New Orleans. [6000/9000] Illustrated A native Costa Rican who spent most of his life in Mexico, Zuniga was acclaimed for his distinct, stylized approach to sculpture and painting. The son of a sculptor of religious figures, he spent years working in his father’s studio, learning the rudiments of direct carving. After a brief attendance at the local art school, Zuniga moved to Mexico where he became associated with what is now known as the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado (referred colloquially as la Esmerelda), first as a student then later as Professor, a position he would maintain for over 30 years. He befriended Guillermo Ruiz, who had founded the school in 1927, and the sculptors Romolo Rozo and Luis Ortiz Monasterio. Reminiscing about his earliest months in Mexico, Zuniga wrote to a friend: “I recall the first years following my arrival in Mexico...Ultimately I spent most of my days in the Museum of History and Archaeology; I went to the Museum every day to study and draw. I was enraptured by the works in stone, with something akin to fear and enchantment...I observed the powerful dimensions; the planes; the stylized mass...” Inspired by PreColumbian artifacts and influenced by the various artistic movements then prevalent - including German Expressionism - Zuniga adapted a style of sculpture which emphasized a visual examination of form and space, resulting in works imbued with a sense of strength and resilience. Concentrating on the curves of the human figure, his softly abstracted figures are often hunched or crouching, enveloped in drapery which simultaneously protects them and exposes their inherent human vulnerability.

The following three watercolors represent the finest of Paul Sawyier’s depth and diversity as an artist. Born in Madison County, Ohio to a physician, Sawyier moved to Frankfort, Kentucky at the age of five in 1870 and spent the majority of his life there until his mother died in 1908. Though Sawyier studied portraiture under Thomas Noble in Cincinnati and briefly established himself as a portrait painter, his real passion was for landscapes. In 1886 he returned to Frankfort and began photographing and sketching the outdoors in tandem, before embarking for New York in 1889, where he studied at the Arts Students League in New York under William Merritt Chase, an early exponent of American Impressionism. During these formative years, Sawyier developed a distinctive style that blends the tonalism of the American Barbizon School with the Impressionists’ palette and loose application of paint, sometimes elucidating one style more than the other in a rhythmic play on light in a setting that was seldom depicted at the time- Southern Midwest landscapes. Each of these three watercolors, executed in Kentucky, showcase this range. After Sawyier moved to New York, his signature changed from the block-style capital letters illustrated in these works to P and S capitals with back slanted lower case letters.

1012 Paul Sawyier (American/Kentucky, 1865‑1917), “Mayme Bull Canoeing on the Elkhorn Creek, Frankfort, Kentucky”, watercolor, signed lower left, 11‑3/4” x 20‑1/4”, unframed; accompanied by a letter of authenticity from William Coffey, Paul Sawyier Galleries. Provenance: Private Collection. [15000/25000] Illustrated “Mayme Bull on the Elkhorn Creek”, is a stunning subject that Sawyier painted a handful of times (that we know of), each canoe view capturing a unique reflection of light through the trees and off the water onto Mayme- his life time love and companion. The painting is Impressionistic in its juxtaposition of colors in the trees on the left and in parts of the water; at the same time the palette is tonally unified/reduced to tertiary blues, greens and creams. Sawyier’s deft handling of Mayme anatomy and pose in a rather shapeless white dress further reflects his skill as a portrait painter, who, according to William Coffey, the expert on Sawyier “[after leaving the portrait industry] never portrayed facial features, preferring to leave it to the viewer to ‘picture’ the details except for in “Paul’s Love” [the only identified portrait of Mayme on the Elkhorn Creek in a canoe, which he painted for the woman who introduced the couple].

“Mackinac Island, Michigan” is not only among the most elusive and unusual compositions Sawyier is known to have depicted, but it is also a tour-de-force of tonalism; the beige of the sky seamlessly merges with the water in a misty atmospheric haze redolent of a quiet morning on a lake. The monochromatic tone is pierced only by the swatches of light scintillating off the piers and tree-tops in a dazzling array of yellows and blues, an effect William Coffey attributes to being “characteristically Sawyier”. Though Sawyier was never known to have visited Michigan, he did actively employ photography in his works, and was known to paint foreign landscapes on occasion from them, including the Philippines. Sawyier probably executed this work after popular turn-of-the century photographs and tourism post cards of Mackinac Island that prominently displayed the same A-frame homes along the lake shore with the steeple and side of St. Anne Church nestled in the distance. The tonalism of the painting further suggests the use old sepia tone photographs.

The land was so fecund that it was never inhabited by Native Americans, but rather shared by the Chilicothe (Chalahagwatha) Indians and nearby tribes as a communal hunting ground. It became the contested geographical hot seat behind the American Revolution and later the American Civil War, during which it remained a border state, rich in resources, but bankrupt emotionally given it locale. It is this history Paul Sawyier evocatively portrays. Yes, there are Impressionistic strokes of ultramarine blue, and yes, the palette is tonally stratified to tertiary colors, but there is always a play on light (albeit emotionally charged) over the virgin territory, open to the taking, but uniformly stratified in its resistance to change- the sole reason we can review Sawyier’s 1886 photographs of the capitol of Kentucky and its surroundings, and yet still profoundly identify with those images today.

“Benson Valley” is a celebration of the Bluegrass state. Albeit bluegrass is a myth, there is a blue hue under the summer sun to tall grasses in fallow hollows and fields, which settlers later cultivated for their livestock. The Kentucky heartland is a rich hilly landscape, replete with limestone and shale fossil beds. This rock formation is present in the left side of the Saywier watercolor offered her, as is the serpentine creek bed, which are strikingly similar to the photograph Sawyier took of the valley from Flat Road in 1886, in the” Paul Sawyier Photographic Collection” in the Kentucky Digital Library. The richness of the territory has historically captivated settlers.

In the Fall of 1995, a woman wrote a beautiful letter to the New Orleans Museum of Art chronicling the provenance of a very rare Alexander Drysdale-a cottage scene, that her “Aunt Pete” bequeathed to her just months before she passed. Aunt Pete, aka Elinor Lancaster Dowling (1912‑1995), acquired it from her father John Lynch (J.L.) Lancaster (1869‑1962), the railroad magnate, who presided over the Texas and Pacific (T. & P.) Railway Company and its many subsidiary companies, including the New Orleans, Shreveport and Lower Coast railways. According to Aunt Pete’s reminiscence, after her father was elected president in 1917, he undertook a survey of the Louisiana rails on his private car and was horrified by the squalor of the railway tenements along the lines, notably Shreveport; many of the structures lacked doors, windows, screens and fencing in which to contain livestock. Shortly after, Lancaster implemented a building improvement program to subsidize their repairs, transforming dilapidated shanties into quaint cottages ensconced by picket-fences. Some years later, while traveling in New Orleans with one of the Hutchinson brothers from Caspiana Plantation, Lancaster was introduced to Alexander J. Drysdale, who accepted, on behalf of Hutchinson and Lancaster, a painting commission in Shreveport. One of the paintings to emerge from this collaboration is the work offered here- of a newly refurbished trackman’s home on the railway line. Aunt Pete’s story is largely corroborated by Shreveport Times’ articles ca. 1917‑1921. Indeed Lancaster became president of the T. & P. Railway Company in 1917, but it was quickly taken over by the Federal Government during World War I and remained under federal control until 1919. During the interim, Lancaster was appointed receiver of the company and federal manager of the U.S. western railways. On March 24, 1918, the Shreveport Times reports: “J.L. Lancaster... with headquarters at New Orleans, was here yesterday on board his private car, no. 200, and spent the day in Marshall looking over the company property. Mr. Lancaster was accompanied by General Superintendent Phil Carroll and Chief Engineer Mitchell...and other local officials, and spent the day here going over the company property and planning out work to be done here.” Aunt Pete's story is all the more interesting because housing problems continued to plague the Shreveport area well into the early 1920s. When the railroad came under Federal jurisdiction, railway housing would also have come under the scrutiny of the Housing Survey Bureau, which deemed Shreveport rentals in 1921 to be “a menace to public health”- echoing Lancasterís thoughts three years earlier. Though Aunt Pete attributes the cottage scene to Shreveport, a faint inscription in pencil on the painting stretcher that reads “A rroad in Pass Christian, 1933” suggests that the cottage reflects other housing reforms Lancaster enacted after his eponymous tour in car no. 200 on the Louisiana and Gulf Coast railways in 1918. Regardless of the cottage’s locale, it is a testament of Drysdale at his finestwith his oil washes in ethereal hazes of blue and greens, he transforms a tenement cottage into a haunting landscape of Southern lowland beauty.

The eagle presented here is caught the moment before it takes flight; the wings are stretched, the muscles of the legs are pulled taut, and the mouth is slightly agape. Koop attended the New York Academy of Art, New York and the Ringling School of Art and Design, Sarasota, Florida.

Wiles was considered one of the preeminent portrait painters of Gilded Age America, often mentioned in artistic circles alongside John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), James Abbott Mcneill Whistler (1834-1903), and his instructor, mentor and eventual friend William Merritt Chase (1849-1916). Employing a rich color palette and an expressive, yet controlled, brushstroke, Wiles produced luminous portraits which reveal an integral understanding and appreciation of the interplay of light and shadow. As the artist once stated, “Color is whatever light makes it, and light changes and transfers everything – color, line, everything. Light is beauty.” His portraits emphasize the elegance and refinement of his sitters, yet never at the expense of the personality and individuality of his sitters. Wiles’ reputation was so strong, and he was considered such an accomplished painter by his peers, that the dying William Merrit Chase asked him to complete an unfinished portrait of his wife and child. The painting, “Mrs. Chase and R.D. Chase”, was signed jointly by both men at the insistence of the Chase family. Wiles received his initial artistic training from his father, the landscapist Lemuel M. Wiles (1826-1905), before moving to New York to study at the Art Students League with Chase and James Carroll Beckwith (1852-1917). In 1882 he traveled to Paris, spending several months at the Academie Julien before entering the atelier of the great “high society”portraitist Carolus Duran (1837-1913). He returned permanently to New York in 1884, making periodic study trips to Europe.

Wiles exhibited extensively throughout his career, and was awarded many of the most significant and prestigious art awards, most notably the Hallgarten and Thomas B. Clark Prizes of the National Academy, the Shaw Fund Prize of the Society of American Artists, the Lippincott Prize from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts Annual of 1922, and countless silver, bronze and gold medals from the various world Expositions. He was a member of numerous art associations including the National Institute of Arts and Letters, the Society of American Artists, National Association of Portrait Painters, and the American Watercolor Association. In 1889 he was made an Associate of the National Academy of Design and was named a full member in 1897.

2. Before the Auction (a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. (i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED.

In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship.

Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion.

(c). Catalogue and other descriptions. (i) All statements made by NOAG as to condition, authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, or historical relevance, whether in the Catalogue entry for the Lot, in the Condition Report, and/ or in a bill of sale, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are qualified statements of opinion only and are not to be relied on as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

3. At the Auction (a). Registration before bidding / Bidding requirements. In order to be accepted as a Bidder and allowed to place a Bid, all Bidders must meet all of the following requirements: (i) A Bidder must complete and sign the attached registration form and provide identification to NOAG; (ii) NOAG may require the production of bank or other financial references or any other additional information; (iii) When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the Purchase Price in full in the event that the Bidder submits the Winning Bid, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with NOAG before the auction of the Lot that the Bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to NOAG, and that NOAG will only look to that principal for payment (iv) All Bids are to be made in U.S. currency unless agreed upon between NOAG and the Bidder; and (v) At NOAG’s sole discretion, NOAG may require any Bidder to post a cash deposit in an amount set by NOAG at its sole discretion. Such deposit may include, without limitation, a deposit of 25% of the Maximum Bid (or another amount set in NOAG’s sole discretion) in the case of Absentee Bids (defined below). (b). Refusal of admission / Rejection of Bidders. NOAG has the right, at its complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any Auction. NOAG reserves the right to reject any Bidder for any reason whatsoever and in NOAG’s sole discretion. (c). Absentee bids / Telephone bids. (i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith.

(d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 10% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation.

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller

If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.

5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.

8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana.
