Assistant Director As a lead sponsor of the recent Texas Design Week in Dallas, New Orleans Auction Galleries had the honor of hosting Christopher Rothko, son of American abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-1970), at the iconic Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek for a talk and book signing ahead of the 50th anniversary of Houston’s Rothko Chapel.

Allain Bush

A New Orleans Antique Dealer and Collector with an Eye for the Unique and Unusual

Born and raised in New Orleans, Allain Bush’s love for collecting began at a young age.

Allain shares, “I would go out on our gravel road and search for fossils for hours and never tire.” Her love of the “hunt” is something that served Allain well in her decades at the helm of Bush Antiques, a unique shop that melded the distinct style of its owner with New Orleans and European flair.

In 1969, Margie Bush, Allain’s mother, opened Bush Antiques on upper Magazine Street. While now a thriving commercial corridor, at the time it was a far cry from the endless blocks of stylish interior design studios, antique shops, clothing boutiques and cafes that now line the street.

Allain travelled and explored a variety of different jobs after completing college, but ultimately joined her mother in the antique business in 1979. Allain and Margie purchased a two-story building in the heart of the historic “Magazine Row”, a two-block area known for its many art and antique shops. Almost immediately after partnering with her mother, Allain began taking buying trips to France and Belgium to expand the shop’s offerings and client base.

A consummate collector herself, Allain’s Garden District carriage house is unsurprisingly filled with a sophisticated mix of European and English antiques along with nods to her family’s Louisiana roots. Built in 1880, the structure once served as the stables for a grand Victorian house, but was later converted to a stand-alone residence. Now distinctly decorated in her own style, the seemingly quaint yellow house is also where Allain spent her childhood. She returned to the house in 1998 after her parents passed away and renovated the interior to fit her eclectic collection of religious artifacts, architectural elements, antique furniture and fine art.

"It was that thing of hunting and finding something that is the right thing. It's stuff that just hits you in the heart."

-Allain Bush

While it took some time for her husband, Gordon, to fall in love with antiques, the thrill of searching for and finding new pieces around the world for their own collection and for the shop became a shared passion. When the two met, Gordon was more drawn to the clean lines of Italian modernism, but his time with Allain and a couple of her close collector friends put him on a path to an appreciation for antiques.

As Allain puts it, “I think the more Gordon was exposed to the amazing warmth of those antiques the more he started to come over to our side.”

As with all lifelong collectors, Allain continues to add to and edit her ever-growing collection. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer an impressive mix of European and Southern antiques, paintings and decorative objects from the collection of Allain Bush, including pieces from her mother’s estate.

This opulent tapestry depicts the main figures of the Flavian/ Herodian political alliance of the 1st century which was crucial to the Roman victory in the Jewish War and resulted in the siege, eventual fall and ultimate destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem.

Rendered in rich colors of reds, blues and greens, the scene revels in the lavish trappings of wealth and power - the heavily carved Solomonic columns with cherub reliefs and acanthine elements, the magnificent tapestry of flora and fauna motifs which acts as a canopy and f rames the f igures, and the sumptuous, embroidered fabrics.

54 detail 54 Italo-Flemish School (Fourth Quarter 16th/First Quarter 17th Century) “Christ in the House of Mary and Martha” oil on copper unsigned.

Presented in a custom-made Heydenryk frame.

13-3/4” x 10-1/2”, framed 19-1/2” x 16-1/4” Provenance: Private collection, Italy; Sotheby, Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, New York, September 29, 1972, lot 7; Collection of Sue and Andy Schwartz, Houston, Texas. $2,500-$4,000 Christ in the House of Martha and Mary refers to a scene from the life of Jesus recorded in Luke 10:41-42, and it was a favorite theme portrayed numerous times in 16th-century Flemish and Dutch painting. According to scripture, Martha complained to Christ, her guest, that her sister Mary is so consumed by listening to his teachings that she has neglected to help her with dinner in the kitchen and is a poor hostess. Christ responds that it is acceptable as the spiritual need supersedes that of a bountiful feast.

In the absence of religious iconography following the Protestant Reformation, Northern European artists turned to personal explorations of faith culled from direct readings of the newly translated German bible. Instead of saints and reliquaries, they explored landscapes and genre scenes, particularly vanitas still-lifes and domestic interiors. The still-life was par excellence the ultimate metaphor for the transience of life: ripe fruit and flowers, a skull, an hourglass, a butterfly or sly mouse, are all visual reminders of death - “finis gloriae mundi” (end of world glories) written throughout Ecclesiastes where the faithful are warned to not falsely store up treasures in coffers, as they too will decay, but to do so instead in the faith of everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The story of Christ in the House of Martha and Mary depicted here in this painting represents another parable of Christian faith rich in visual resonance as the kitchen is a tour-de-force of material bounty. The f ine and realistic detail of the cabbage leaves, the down feathers of the bird, hung carcass, and ref ractive detail of the hourglass and all the copper pots and pewter plates lined along the walls is distinctly Flemish, even the architecture of the small town in the background, and recalls the works of Joachim Beuckelaer and Pieter Aertsen. Yet, the dynamism of the figures correctly rendered through perspective with a central vanishing point and rich modeling of robes recalls the works of Italian art - the draftsmanship characteristic of the Florentine School, the facial, portrait-like detail and saturation of the color is Venetian School and redolent of the religious buffet scenes of Tintoretto.

In typical Dutch/Flemish depictions of Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, the secular and spiritual space are separate and asymmetrical with the abundance of the vanitas piled in the foreground and devoid of pictorial depth. The illusion of depth is thus created by a diminutive Christ, not likely more than 3-1/2 apples tall, crowded into a small niche with leaded windows or upturned floor tiles - a convention drawn from the reverse perspective of 14th-century Late Gothic and Byzantine traditions.

Here the styles of both Northern and Italian Renaissance/ early Baroque traditions are seamlessly blended into a unique work born of cross-cultural influence courtly at the dawn of 17th-century Enlightenment.

The virgin Vesta was the goddess of hearth and home and as such was considered one of the guardians of Rome. Her festival was one of the most crucial rituals in the pagan calendar and the only one in which women took an active role and were the main participants. Fanfani has here employed a color palette of burnished browns, golds, creams and peach tones, creating a subdued atmosphere of intense personal contemplation. He has chosen the praefatio, or purification, portion of the ritual, the moment when communion with the deity has commenced. The young officiant sits quietly beside the bronze thymiaterion, gazing into the smoke produced by the eagle-sided incense burner.

Charles Francois Grenier de Lacroix, also known as Lacroix de Marseille, was a prolific 18th-century landscape/seascape painter, who specialized in capriccio scenes, characterized by fantasy landscapes and seaports with Roman ruins, fishing boats and staffage. Little is known of his early years. Born in Marseille, Lacroix is believed to have apprenticed with Claude Joseph Vernet, traveling in Rome with him in 1750, and 1751 where he gained international recognition after he copied four of Vernet’s paintings for Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh, 1st Baronet, with near identical bravura as Vernet - the hand reportedly indistinguishable aside f rom the signature. After Vernet was summoned back to France in 1753

by Louis XV for a royal commission, Lacroix remained in Rome for nearly a quarter of a century, creating a lucrative career in capriccio scenes for wealthy patrons that further aggrandized the Grand Tour, working under the name Della Croce and Lacroix de Marseille.

The work offered here exhibits many of the key characteristics associated with Lacroix’s mature oeuvre, notably the rocky bluffs with natural or carved arches offset by low horizons and wide expansive skies, deep ultramarine blue and green reflective seas seamlessly integrated with diminutive maritime trade in warm colors of ochre and brown. The work is vaguely reminiscent of French and Italian Mediterranean harbors, yet idealized and intimate. As Vernet notoriously stated about his seascapes and the genre he imparted to his followers and pupils: “Others may know better how to paint the sky, the earth, the ocean; no one knows better than I how to paint a picture.”

Indian Silver of the Raj

Indian silverwork was known in antiquity and its style was dictated through the centuries by the demands and needs of its consumers: primarily, as elsewhere, the wealthy, the aristocracy and houses of worship. This led to many wares unique to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia: rosewater sprinklers, betel boxes and cutters, fly whisks, various sacred and ritual vessels, etc.

With the creation of the East India Company 1600, these forms became known in England through brisk and profitable trade. By economic and military force, the Company became the de facto ruler India in the 18th century and, after an unsuccessful rebellion against them in 1857, the British Raj was established in 1858, with India becoming the “crown jewel” in the Empire.

Throughout the Raj (1858-1947), Indian craftsmen adopted western styles to meet the demands of an ever-increasing British presence: goblets, teapots, sugar bowls, milk jugs.

While the forms were taken from the West, the designs were drawn from native flora (the chinar leaves of the plane tree, coriander leaves, acacia flowers) and fauna (elephants, cobra, buffalo). The execution of these designs, as well as the use of specific motifs ,were regionally distinctive. Silver from Kashmir, for instance, often replicated the buta motifs of their famous pashmina scarves (known in the west as “Paisley” after the Scottish town that reproduced the textiles).

Calcutta silver was known by its charming rural scenes, and Kutch silver was distinguished by its intricate floral scrolls, often with discreetly hidden native fauna. By the late 19th century, however, the most popular style was the swami style of Madras as exemplified by P. Orr & Sons and featuring richly embossed figures of Hindu deities.

Indian silver of the period is of widely varying finesses, as the strict sterling silver standard attested by hallmarking in the U.K. was never imposed and the raw material was taken from many different sources, including rupee coins, old and scrap silver, and bullion imported from China, Africa and the Arabian coast. Additionally, tin, not copper, was the preferred alloy, producing a distinctive grey-white color.

186

Indian craftsmen and design were showcased in International Exhibitions and Royal events during the Raj, such as the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1875-76 and the Durbars of 1877, 1903 and 1911. These displays, however, were carefully curated to British taste by Imperial “commissionwallahs”. In the 20th century, with the emergence of modern styles and (not coincidentally) the Indian independence movement, craftsmen revived and popularized the traditional forms.

This collection represents an eclectic assemblage Indian silver of the Raj, with f ine examples of various regional styles and others showing the Indian influence into Southeast Asia and China. New Orleans Auction Galleries is pleased to offer this rare and unusual collection.

502 Indian Presentation Silver Kashkul-Form Bowl Kashmir, first half 20th century, of traditional navette form, the body decorated with scrolling coriander and chinar leaves, the ends with ringed handles from cobra’s heads whose bodies meander downwards into the coridander, the side rims decorated with pierced and tapering rosette scrolls, engraved on a cartouche on the body with date “8/10-7-’57” and on the edge of the foot “Jawaharlal Nehru”. h. 5-1/4”, l. 10”, w. 6”; 12.65 t. oz. $1,500-$2,500 This handsome piece is in the traditional form of a kashkul: a begging bowl carried by wandering dervishes. The rings on the end recall where a strap was attached to the more modest pottery, brass or sea-coconut originals, permitting them to be carried over the shoulder. Wealthy aristocrats and merchants later adopted the form in finer materials, which became very popular as presentation items. The inscribed date and name here suggest it was a gift presented by India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who attended the British Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference in London on July 8-10, 1957. He was at the time at the height of his popularity, having recently been sworn in to his second ministry after a sweeping victory in the 1957 Indian General Election (the second after independence from Britain).

606 Thomas Clement Thompson, R.H.A. (British, 1778-1857) “Portrait of William Grant, Esq. of Carrs Bank” oil on canvas unsigned, titled on letter in sitter’s hand, an old handwritten label en verso frame with artist and sitter, an “Agnew & Zanetti/Manufacturers/ Manchester” label en verso frame, inventory label reading “Owner/Sir P. Grant Lawson/June 2, 1930” en verso.

In an impressive period or earlier giltwood and gesso frame with later black paint.

51-7/8” x 40-1/2”, framed 69-1/2” x 58” Provenance: With sitter; Sir Peter Grant Lawson, 2nd Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge; thence by descent; private collection. $1,000-$1,500

The sitter of this portrait, Sir William Grant, was the last male heir of the mercantile Grant brothers of Manchester, England. The family was of Scottish Highland origin and relocated to England in the 1780s after several disastrous fires decimated the family farmland.

Sir William was the son of John Grant of Nuttall Hall, and the nephew of Daniel and William Grant, who were famously memorialized as the charitable “Cheeryble Brothers” in Charles Dickens’ Nicholas Nickleby. The family was known for their business acumen and philanthropic spirit, members having served as justices, religious leaders, and founders of various institutes and foundations. This portrait descended in the family of William’s sister Isabella, first to his nephew Sir John Grant Lawson, the 1st Baronet of Knavesmire Lodge, and then to his great-nephew Sir Peter Grant Lawson, the 2nd Baronet, whose name appears on an inventory label en verso this painting.

The nomenclature and design of the “Agnew & Zanetti” label on the f rame was only employed by the f irm during the years of 1828-1837, thus dating the frame to that short period.

At f irst glance, this appears no more than a carefully composed society portrait of three Edwardian stunners, each richly attired in sumptuous silks, chiffons and laces, set within a suitably luxurious interior. Closer examination, however, reveals it is a subtle visual cautionary tale of respectability and expectation versus self-indulgence and individuality.

The Edwardian era (roughly corresponding with the American Gilded Age), inevitably inspired and influenced by its namesake Edward VII, was a time of prosperity, extravagance and a gentle loosening of the more rigid moral strictures for which the Victorian period had so long been maligned. British arts and culture were flourishing, and the sciences - through exploration and invention - were making strides at an almost incomprehensible pace.

Portraiture at this time reflected both pride in the country’s accomplishments and its reputation by emphasizing the “here and now” with contemporary settings and accoutrements. No longer was there the emphasis on the classical, historical, or mythological that permeated earler periods.

The portrait offered here is of an intimate, familial gathering as evidenced by the women’s relaxed, casual poses and the absence of the de rigueur evening gloves.

The young woman in the embroidered mint-green gown is the epitome of the “English Rose”, the clear-eyed beauty of ivory complexion and rosy cheeks - indeed, she has a pale pink bloom nestled in her neckline. Set towards the left of the painting, she is clearly the main subject of the composition, with the light projecting directly towards her. Behind her in partial shadow is the more somberly but no less opulently attired young matron, the ideal of English womanhood and the presumed girlhood aspiration. The third woman, with her cosmetically enhanced cheeks and lips and hennaed hair, serves as her foil; clad in a light orange gown, she leans provocatively into the back of the sofa.

One dress strap has slipped dangerously low exposing her shoulder in a manner verging on indecency and just shy of vulgarity; there is more than the hint of the stage. The color of her dress itself is an interesting choice. The acclaimed Victorian and Edwardian fashion scholar C. Willett Cunnington once stated that orange, admittedly never a particularly popular color for gowns, suggested “a degree of animal passion which the pure should not possess.” Physically situated between the two older women, the young central f igure is at a precipice - a decisive moment which will determine the trajectory of her life - respectability and expectation or adventure and independence. Perhaps her choice has already been made - with a direct gaze and thoughtful expression, she is leaning towards the respectable maiden, with a pillow-draped couch’s distance between herself and the woman on the left.

$1,000-$1,500 Baltimore remains the only U.S. city to have enforced silver assay and hallmarking as was common in Europe.

For a brief period between 1814 and 1830, all silver sold in Baltimore had to be 11 oz. pure: i.e., every troy pound (12 oz.) of alloyed silver had to contains 11 oz. of silver and 1 oz. of base metal (91.7%). This was higher than the 10 oz. 14 dwt. standard (89.2%) of U.S. coins, and Baltimore silversmiths balked at these regulations which effectively imposed upon them the additional cost of alloying silver to this standard while silversmiths in the rest of the country simply used coin stock (hence “coin silver”.) The law was soon repealed, but some Baltimore silversmiths, notably Samuel Kirk and Andrew Warner, continued to use the higher Baltimore standard as a prestige measure, even paradoxically long after the yet higher sterling silver (92.5%) standard became the industry standard after the Civil War.

Literature: Elizabeth Pochoda, “A Painter Resurrects Louisiana’s Vanished Creole Culture”, New York Times, January 16, 2020.

$6,000-$9,000

$1,500-$2,500 A self-taught artist, Andrew Hopkins has recently garnered considerable national appreciation for his carefully composed idiosyncratic depictions of 19th-century life, specifically celebrations of Creole culture in all its complexity, including explorations of les gens de couleur libres (free people of color) and emigres (often to France). Inspired by his love of history, both regional and personal, Hopkin’s clever (re)interpretations of New Orleans life has earned him a following amongst art collectors, antiquarians and historians.

Concentrating on a community forgotten and infrequently portrayed, Hopkins fills his paintings with characters who too often have been relegated to the historical sidelines.

The main figure of the painting offered here, the Creole musician and composer Edmond Dede, was a member of the les gens de couleur libres community. Born into a prominent black Creole family, Dede studied in Paris, eventually settling in France into an emigre community of like-minded New Orleanians of similar racial and social background: he would only return to his native city for a series of concerts. Here Hopkins portrays him as a young man seated at his piano, accompanying a beautiful Creole woman whose hair is hidden under the elaborate wrappings of a bright green tignon, the distinctive head covering mandatory for free women. This is a striking visual reference to the sumptuary laws which were implemented in New Orleans in the late 18th century as a means to exert control over mixed race Creoles.

This work was illustrated in the recent New York Times review “A Painter Resurrects Louisiana’s Vanished Creole Culture” of the artist’s exhibition.

739

Hopkins has purposely chosen an interesting stylistic approach to his painting: applying swathes of bright, jewel-toned colors to his canvases with little shading, he creates intentionally flat compositions, reminiscent of early 19th-century folk art and more than suggestive of stage settings. Each detail - from the architecture to the clothing - is painstakingly researched and meticulously delineated. It is not surprising to discover that Hopkins began as an antiquarian, owning a shop in New Orleans, before embarking on an artistic career.

The National Gallery, Washington, D.C. recently acquired one of his paintings for their permanent collection. $6,000-$9,000

$15,000-$25,000 This fine portrait of Jose Antonio de Hoa, the Administrator of the Spanish Royal Custom House of Louisiana and Florida, painted in New Orleans ca. 1793-1795, exemplifies the New World, and bears close stylistic similarities to Salazar’s portrait of Governor Sebastian Calvo de la Puerta, Marquis de Caso Calvo, under whom de Hoa served. In a broader context, this portrait presents not only an indelible window into the “Louisiana Territory” under three Sovereign nations, but also a portrait of a man whose grandchildren would become founding families of New Orleans- the de Hoas, Jourdains, De La Rondes and Le Blancs.

The colony of Louisiana entered Spanish rule in 1763 following the treaty of Paris effectively ending the French and Indian War. King Carlos III bolstered military presence through a series of Bourbon Reforms that fortified the strategic port of New Orleans from British North America thus safe guarding Spain’s Mexican mines that extended into Texas.

Through the Reforms, large subsidies were dispersed by accomplished administrators and officials like de Hoa and Governor Bernardo de Galvez under whom he first served.

A native of Santander Spain, de Hoa was married in 1774 to Antonia de Cacho, and his first son Juan Manuel de Hoa y Cacho, who later followed in his career path as a financial controller, was born within the year. By the early 1780s, de Hoa had been deployed to New Orleans and quickly rose to the appointment of “General Administrator of the Royal Revenues”, a title he held until 1789 when he was promoted to “Administrator of the Spanish Royal Customs House”a position he appears to have maintained through the embattled governorships of de Casa-Calvo and De Salcedo

290

over increasing navigational conflicts with American settlers on the Mississippi River amidst pressure from Napoleon to cede Louisiana back to French control. Within a year of the Louisiana Purchase, De Hoa departs for Havana, Cuba and sells three properties he owned on St. Louis Street.

Correspondence with De Hoa and his children in New Orleans persists through 1812.

Following the death of his son Manuel de Hoa and his wife Rosalie Jourdain, the portrait descended to Pierre de Hoa and his wife Emilie De la Ronde, then to their daughter Eulalie de Hoa-Le Blanc, and her daughters Emilie and Marie. The Le Blancs exhibited the portrait of de Hoa several times over the course of 50 years, as well as the portrait of their mother/grandmother Emilie de la Ronde de Hoa attributed to Francois Bernard, and a portrait of their mother-in-law/ grandmother Eliza Moussier Le Blanc by Jacues Amans. The Le Blanc sisters were pivotal f igures in the art community of New Orleans at the turn of the century and throughout the f irst few decades of the 20th century. Both were graduates of Newcomb College and accomplished “art craftsmen” of the pottery trade, who continued their post-graduate studies as instructors. They were active members of several arts societies, including the Colonial Dames, The Arts and Crafts Clubs, and Louisiana Colonials. Marie, the more prolific of the two, received numerous honors and scholarships to study in Chicago, Boston and Paris, before settling back in New Orleans as a drawing instructor for New Orleans Public School. Upon Marie’s death in 1954, her Estate was sold at public auction. Ben Matthews auctioneer advertised it as the sale of “One of Louisiana’s Families Outstanding in Art” with the “f inest portraits by eminent artists”

751

Stephen Minor was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, on February 8, 1760, and first ventured to New Orleans in 1779.

He joined the Spanish army and participated in a military expedition against Fort Charlotte, located near Mobile in British West Florida. Arriving in the Natchez District in the early 1780s, Minor received a commission as a captain in the Spanish army, and served as adjutant at Fort Panmure, Natchez. During this time, Minor assisted the Spanish governor Manuel Gayoso de Lemos in various administrative duties. He also served as liaison between Spanish officials and Anglo-American settlers and Natchez Indians. In that capacity, he came to be referred to as “Don Esteban.” After Gayoso was appointed governor of Louisiana, Minor briefly served as acting governor until the Spanish evacuated Natchez in 1798, following the creation of

the Mississippi Territory by the United States Congress. From Governor Gayoso, Minor purchased Concord in Natchez, the only Spanish colonial-style manse in Natchez, a three-story structure with galleries on each side. Under Gayoso’s, and Minor’s administrations, Concord served as the governmental and cultural hub of the territory. Minor’s second wife, Katherine, was reputedly known as “Yellow Duchess” reflecting her fondness for things golden. Among Minor’s holdings were plantations in Adams county, Mississippi producing tobacco, indigo and ultimately cotton, and about 40,000 acres east of the Pearl River in Louisiana. Minor died in Natchez in 1815, and his spouse followed him in death in 1844. Concord fell into disrepair, and burned in 1901. The grounds of Concord are now the part of Natchez referred to as “Minorville”.

Literature: Registered as number 221.1, category 2 in the Blakelock Archive, Universtiy of Nebraska

Born in the mid-19th century into a well-to-do New York family, Ralph Albert Blakelock came of age at the height of American Expansionism, better known by the doctrine of "Manifest Destiny" with Sitting Bull and Custer's Last Stand its apogee. Like all young men of the period, Blakelock was captivated by the unchartered American West, by Cowboys, Indians and new Frontiers f rom Yellowstone to the austere Falls of Niagara and New York to the immense forests celebrated throughout the works of the Hudson River School. Blakelock, however, was unique. While most fellow artists created outward expressions of these epic influences, Blakelock, a largely self-taught artist, internalized them. The influence of luminism and the romantic sublime espoused by the Hudson River School is evident, as is the French Barbizon School's use of reverse lighting and plein air composition, yet the result is a highly individualized approach to lighting that borders on the spiritual. A Blakelock landscape is, thus, quite like no other. Like the work offered here, the scene is often nebulous; the locale seldom known; the hills, the trees appear as massive, looming silhouettes against glowing sunsets or moonlit scapes. The experience is ethereal and resonates with all the senses. The surface textures radiate through layers that Blakelock has scored, re-worked and scraped back, creating the effect of a solar eclipse or the scorched ground of an Indian encampment.

Pickett’s Charge, the last battle of Gettysburg, was painted from copious studies and photographs of on-site re-enactments, that were fact-checked by historian J. David Petruzzi.

This work, a vignette of the larger work, painted in 2014, “When Boys Become Men, Pickett’s Charge” focuses on one young infantryman, who pauses from manning the cannon to reflect upon the purpose of the war: ‘one nation indivisible’ - symbolized by the American flag waving in the midday light.

Conditions of Sale: ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. PLEASE SEE SECTION 2(a) BELOW IN WHICH ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS) ARE WAIVED.

1. Introduction (a). These Conditions of Sale (“Conditions of Sale”) contain all the terms governing Auctions (defined below) conducted by Cakebread Art Antiques Collectables, Inc. d/b/a New Orleans Auction Galleries (“NOAG”), and all the terms under which NOAG and the Seller (defined below) of a Lot (defined below) contract with the Buyer (defined below).

These Conditions of Sale may be amended by posted notices or oral announcements made during the Auction. (b). Under these Conditions of Sale, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows: • An “Auction” is a public auction conducted by NOAG, at which Bidders may place Bids to purchase one or more Lots offered for sale by NOAG. An Auction takes place over one or more days and includes separate auctions of one or more Lots within an event conducted by NOAG; • The “Auctioneer” is the auctioneer calling the Auction conducted by NOAG; A “Bid” is a bid made by a party at the Auction to purchase a Lot; • A “Bidder” is (i) a person making a Bid at the Auction (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); and/or (ii) a person who attends the Auction and registers to make a Bid (whether in person, through an absentee bid, through electronic or internet means, or through telephone bidding); • A “Buyer” is the party that commits to purchase a Lot by submitting the Winning Bid at Auction; • “Buyer’s Premium” is defined in Section 4 below; • “Catalogue” is the Auction catalogue utilized by NOAG to list the Lots offered at Auction; • The “Estimates” are the high and low estimates of value for each Lot set forth in the Catalogue presented by NOAG in connection with the Auction or otherwise set forth and/or announced at the Auction; • The “Hammer Price” for a Lot is the amount of the Winning Bid at the Auction, as announced by the Auctioneer, exclusive of commissions, Buyer’s Premium, expenses, and any taxes or other charges; • A “Lot” is specific item of property offered for sale at Auction; The “Reserve” is defined in Section 3 below; • The “Purchase Price” is defined in Section 4 below; A “Sale” of a Lot occurs when a Winning Bid is declared at Auction for the Lot; • The “Seller” of a Lot is the party who consigned the Lot with NOAG for purposes of selling the Lot, or is otherwise the seller of the Lot; • The “Winning Bid” is, as to a particular Lot, the Bid recognized by the Auctioneer as the highest and best Bid for that Lot.

(c). Except as otherwise stated, NOAG acts as consignment agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the Lot is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. (d). By bidding at the Auction as a Bidder or Buyer, and/or by your signature below, you agree to be bound by these terms.

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. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty against redhibitory defects, including without limitation: (x) any defects rendering a Lot useless or its use inconvenient; and (y) any defects diminishing the usefulness of a Lot; and any such warranties are 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. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art. No statement in the Catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. (v) No warranty of peaceful possession, etc. The following warranties are waived and excluded: the absence of hidden defects, peaceful possession, and ownership. NOAG and Seller provide absolutely no warranty that the Lot is free from hidden defects, or for peaceful possession, or for ownership. (vi) No other warranties. None of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. 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.

Rev. 01/04/17

(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).

Rev. 01/04/17

(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 [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction - note that there is no discount for LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable bidders) 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 antiterrorism 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.

Rev. 01/04/17

(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. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
