N.B. The artist was active in Leiden and in Rome. The painting at hand was reviewed from digital photographs by the RKD in The Hague. They suggested that this work may be the same painting sold by Palais des congrès, Versailles, France, Tableaux Anciens, Meubles et Objets d’Art, March 5, 1978, Lot 37 (as La Scène, presumably meant to be La Cène). The medium, signature with inscription, and dimensions correspond very closely, but the painting was not illustrated in the catalog. The works of Adrianus van Kilsdonk are not well documented, and heretofore the RKD archives did not contain photographs or reproductions of any of his paintings. Dr. Laurens Schoemaker (RKD) pointed out that van Kilsdonk based this composition after a large painting by Peter Paul Rubens of The Last Supper (1630-31), now in the collection of the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan. $800-1,200

219 Julius LeBlanc Stewart (American, 18551919) Twilight on the Terrace, Paris Signed and dated “JL Stewart 1877” u.l. Oil on panel, 29 1/4 x 39 in. (74.3 x 99.1 cm), in a period frame. Condition: Craquelure, varnish discoloration/ inconsistencies, possible retouch, surface grime. Provenance: A Massachusetts estate. N.B. Though born in Philadelphia, Julius Stewart moved to Paris with his family at age ten and spent the rest of his life as a resident of the French capital. His father, William Hood Stewart (1820-1892), was a wealthy businessman who amassed one of the most important contemporary art collections of the nineteenth century. William Stewart had ample connections to assure his son’s access to the ateliers of the city’s most respected artists. Stewart first studied painting with Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala, and later entered the studios of Jean-Léon Gérôme and Raimundo de Madrazo.

In 1874, Stewart accompanied Gérôme on a trip to Egypt. This first-hand introduction to Gérôme’s interest in Orientalist themes clearly influenced the details of Stewart’s composition here, including the carpet beneath the seated figures and the Asian parasol and fan. However, Stewart’s brushstrokes are far more painterly than Gérôme’s, as can be seen by comparing the carpet in this work to those in Gérôme’s Evening Prayer (see Lot 266). Several of the objects in this work were standard props Stewart kept in his wellappointed studio at 13, rue Billault. The carpet appears in In the Artist’s Studio of 1875 (private collection), and the brightly-plumed parrots may have been Stewart’s pets, as one appears in another work from 1875, Lady with a Parrot (private collection). Stewart’s debut at the Paris Salon, a year after completing this work, earned praise from French critics. Collectors and critics alike admired Stewart’s skilled, academic renderings of fashionably dressed figures at leisure. Stewart applied the delicate, meticulous attention to detail he learned from Zamacois y Zabala, Gérôme, and Madrazo to contemporary subjects, often his wealthy and well-connected family and friends. Though Stewart’s subject matter coincided with that of his fellow expatriate, John Singer Sargent, his painting style reflected his affinity for the academic manner of his teachers. $150,000-250,000

225

N.B. The painting at hand was reviewed via digital photographs by Anne Louise Avery, and the work will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the works of Edward Mitchell Bannister. She groups the painting with Bannister’s mature works of the 1880s. The lot is accompanied by a detailed analysis by Dr. Avery, the first paragraph of which is reproduced below. “Untitled (Woman Reading Under a Tree) is an intimate sous-bois oil painting depicting a woman peacefully reading, or perhaps sketching, in the shade under a tree in an autumnal Rhode Island landscape, possibly on the Goddard estate in Warwick. Sunlight illuminates the pasture before her, where a gaggle of geese trails through the long grass by an old oak. The subject and composition are typical of Bannister’s mature period, influenced heavily by the French Barbizon School and by the tides of Transcendentalism and Swedenborgianism flowing through 19th-century American landscape aesthetics. The painting would probably have been executed en plein air and may have acted as a preparatory study for a larger work.” $3,000-5,000 226 Samuel Lancaster Gerry (American, 18131891) In Walpole, New Hampshire Signed “SL Gerry” l.r., titled in an inscription on the reverse.

Oil on canvas, 17 1/2 x 21 1/2 in. (44.2 x 54.5 cm), framed. Condition: Lined, retouch, fine craquelure. Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection.

N.B. William Bradford, one of the preeminent marine painters of the 19th century, was born and raised near the harbor town of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Against the wishes of his strict Quaker parents, he pursued a career in painting. Initially self-taught, Bradford began to study with Dutch painter Albert Van Beest (1820-1860) in the late 1850s and the two artists frequently collaborated. Starting in 1861, Bradford made a series of trips to Labrador and the Arctic, where he was profoundly influenced by the bright light and vivid colors of the area. His paintings of the Arctic contain rich detail in sailing vessels and fishermen, while at the same time capture the expressiveness of the clouds, water, and ice formations. The rich scenery and atmospheric light remained a constant source of inspiration for Bradford throughout his career. $25,000-35,000

Provenance: Susan Channing Cabot Lyman (Mrs. Arthur T.

Yarnall, Recreation and Idleness: The Pacific Travels of John La Farge (New York: Vance Jordan Fine Art, Inc., 1998), p. 37, color illustration fig. 59, p. 38.

N.B. John La Farge travelled with his longtime friend Henry Adams (1835-1915) to Japan in 1886, both men seeking fresh starts. The two travelling companions were in the area of Nikko in July of that year to escape an epidemic of cholera that had broken out in Tokyo and Yokohama. As James Yarnall details in his book John La Farge, A Biographical and Critical Study, of the over thirty watercolors, two oils, and handful of drawings with Nikko subject matter, La Farge painted only a small percentage during the trip. Most were painted between 1887 and 1889 when La Farge reworked his journals for travel articles for Century Magazine.1 One reason for this was that La Farge often found the weather too difficult to paint from nature in Nikko due to the oppressive heat and inordinately wet summer. He would work from photographs taken on site and painted at their lodging in the coolness of the early morning or late evening. La Farge recorded that the mountains near Nikko were often shrouded

in mist, as is the mountain shown here, which is probably the holy mountain Mt. Nantai. James Yarnall described this watercolor in his exhibition catalog essay “Recreation and Idleness: The Pacific Travels of John La Farge” as an exquisite picture and one which Yarnall believed may have been painted at least in part “on-the-spot.”2 1.

In the 1860s, Gérôme began a series of pictures depicting Muslim men at prayer. These would become a signature theme of the artist’s, and among his most popular Orientalist works. The present painting, Evening Prayer, holds a special place within this important group. A “perfected” version of one of Gérôme’s most evocative compositions, with all of the technical hallmarks and intellectual nuances of his art, it has recently been confirmed as an original work by his hand, and returned to the artist’s oeuvre.1 Gérôme’s path to Orientalism began in 1856, when he traveled to Egypt for the first time. (Earlier in his career, he had made his name with light-hearted Néo-Grec genre scenes and archaeologically exacting images of the classical past.) In Cairo, he accumulated a virtual library of souvenirs, costumes, and local crafts, as well as photographs, sketches, and drawings, which served as inspiration for his studio works. Subsequent trips to the region made during the 1860s and 1870s expanded his repertoire of subjects, confirming his talents as an ethnographer and his reputation as a privileged witness to all aspects of Middle Eastern life. In the present work, Gérôme depicts the daily maghrib, or evening prayer, performed on the housetops of Cairo.2 In the background, the distinctive skyline of the city is visible, with the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the Madrasa of Sultan Hasan helping to identify the geography of the site (fig. 1).3 Gérôme’s figures are executed with comparable documentary care: The men face east, towards Mecca, as the crescent moon and direction of the waning light suggest. They demonstrate each of the ritual postures associated with the prayer, from the initial standing qiyam to the last prostrate sajda (fig. 2). The motivation for this encyclopedic view was likely a favorite reference of Gérôme’s: Edward William Lane’s An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, first published in London in 1836, also described these poses, in pictures and in text (fig. 3).4 Despite these glosses of realism, Gérôme’s image is far from true. A minaret from the Madrasa of the Amir Sarghitmish (1356), placed prominently on the left, should be miles from this scene, and the rooftop wind scoops are likewise curiously placed.5 (To catch the prevailing winds that sweep through Cairo, they should be facing north.) Several of the men, moreover, inspire a strong sense of dejà vu. They reappear in others of Gérôme’s compositions, in various contexts and dress.6 Rather than a sign of ignorance, however, or a thoughtless oversight, these were deliberate choices by the artist, made for aesthetic effect.7 Such artistic liberty did not diminish the overall popularity of Gérôme’s Middle Eastern works, nor jeopardize their worth. At least three painted versions of the present subject are known, and numerous reproductions and copies were made during the course of the artist’s career—a testament to its success.8 The original painting in the Hamburger Kunsthalle, exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1865, shares many of the same features with the present picture, including its formidable size (fig. 4). It is the differences between the two, however, that are most important here: In the present work, the absence of background figures and the substitution of a striking man in red—a favorite model of the artist’s—serve to focus all attention on the devotions of the group, and the poetry of prayer.

In the nineteenth century, making versions of a favorite or highly coveted subject was the standard practice of many artists, and held a specific societal value. Those without the resources to purchase a popular Salon painting could, by these means, enjoy similar works in their own homes, particularly through the production of a reduction, or smaller version of the piece.9 For those who wished for a grander addition to their well-hung walls, a répétition was the answer to their needs. This was understood to be a later version of a painting, of roughly the same size. Owing to a few compositional differences—a requisite of this type—the répétition was considered to be an original and costly work of art. As Patricia Mainardi explains: “The correct term for an artist’s later version of his own theme...was...répétition, the same word used in performance for a rehearsal. In performance, we never assume that opening night is qualitatively better than later presentations—first performances are, in fact, usually weaker than subsequent ones, which gain in depth from greater experience and familiarity with the material,” (“The 19th-century art trade: copies, variations, replicas,” The Van Gogh Museum Journal, 2000, pp. 63-64). Evening Prayer, then, the last of the three painted versions of this subject to be made, and the only répétition that is known, may be interpreted as Gérôme’s most valuable and profound rendition of this beloved theme.10 The techniques that Gérôme employs throughout this composition exhibit the trademarks of his style, as does the distinctive signature located along a background ledge (fig. 5).11 The application of paint around the head of the imam is particularly noteworthy, as it offers a glimpse into the artist’s working method. Here, Gérôme simultaneously applies fresh paint to both the figure and the ground, allowing him to balance the painting’s overall tones and avoid the hard-edged outlines of others’ academic style (fig. 6). The consequent appearance of this painted passage and across the surface of the picture as a whole, as a seamless, luminous sheet of glass, became identified closely with the artist, and with nineteenthcentury Orientalism as well.12 The appearance of Evening Prayer by 1870 in two prominent private collections in England and, fifteen years later, on the East Coast of America, was in keeping with the history of many of Gérôme’s best-known works.13 In 1859, Gérôme signed a contract with the French publisher and art dealer Adolphe Goupil (1806-1893). Goupil’s calculated marketing of Gérôme’s works, through both the sale of originals and affordable, mass-produced reproductions, guaranteed their widespread distribution, and the growth of his international success. The industrial and commercial booms of the nineteenth century also had a critical role to play. They generated a new group of art purchasers and patrons in these countries, who were eager to prove the sophistication of their nouveau riche tastes. Scenes of Middle Eastern prayer such as this one offered a broad and somewhat ironic appeal: In addition to reflecting—despite their foreign guise—the familiar moral principles that these new collectors were anxious to uphold, they could also offer hope and comfort at a time of rapid change. As the corruptive influences of capitalism were beginning to be recognized and the complexities of modern life were starting to take their toll, the idea of a pure and unquestioned faith was doubtless reassuring. Gérôme’s Evening Prayer then, a window into a distant and exotic world, may also, in this context, be read as the final solemn sermon to one closer than it seems. —Emily M. Weeks, Ph.D.

Figure 4. Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, 18241904), Prayer in Cairo, 1865; oil on panel, 49.8 x 81.2 cm, Hambuger Kunsthalle, Germany; gift of Freiherr J.J. von Schroeder, 1910

Notes 1. A letter of authentication from Emily M. Weeks, Ph.D. will accompany this work. The painting will also be included in Dr. Weeks’s revision of the artist’s catalogue raisonné. 2. In addition to his own experiences in Egypt, Gérôme may have been influenced in his choice of subject matter by his friend and fellow Orientalist Alexandre Bida (1813-1895): Bida apparently showed the artist his drawing of Prayer on the Housetops (Walters Art Gallery), to which Gérôme responded, “I have done nothing to equal this,” (R.B. Gruelle, Notes: Critical & Biographical: Collection of W.T. Walters [Indianapolis?], 1895, p. 193).

8. The three confirmed versions are: a small oil sketch (private collection), a finished oil painting on panel in Hamburg, Germany (see above), and the present work. Most of the printed versions were produced and distributed by the French publisher and art dealer Adolphe Goupil (1806-1893) (see Gérôme and Goupil: Art and Enterprise, exh. cat., Paris, 2000, pp. 23, 119, 154). 9. Reductions were often done for the purpose of graphic reproduction; because exactitude was emphasized over creativity, the execution was often given over to the studio, with the resulting work being only partially by the artist’s hand.

3. The setting is intended to be the Qasaba, near the Bayn al-Qasrayn. 4. Cf. Lane, 1860 (definitive edition), pp. 75-79. The men’s costumes, on the other hand, draw from a far more personal source: the closetful of clothing and accessories that the artist had acquired while abroad. 5. See Caroline Williams, “Jean Léon Gérôme: A Case Study of an Orientalist Painter,” in “Fantasy or Ethnography? Irony and Collusion in Subaltern Representations,” edited by Sabra Webber and Margaret R. Lynd, special issue, Papers in Comparative Studies 8 (1993-94), p. 121; and David A. King, “Aspekte angewandter Wissenschaften in Moscheen und Klöstern (Teil I),” Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte 18 (1995), pp. 90-1. 6. The kneeling figure on the right, for example, forehead to the ground, reappears in the same golden yellow robes in Prière dans la mosquée (art market, currently with Gallery 19c) of 1875. The imam, or leader of the prayer at far left, makes another appearance in Gérôme’s The Muezzin of 1866 (Joslyn Art Museum), and its many variations. 7. In addition to personal preference, Gérôme’s deviations from reality were also based on marketing considerations and client requests. In a letter to the dealer Knoedler, the artist explained: “Prayer in the Mosque had been reserved by Monsieur Simon and I remember that he made me put a figure facing the spectator, by saying that since all the others were seen from the back or in profile, it would not sell. I did as he wanted because his reasons were commercially sound,” (Letter to Knoedler, June 8, 1903, Custodia foundation, Fritz Lugt collection, Netherlands Institute, Paris).

10. The artist himself addressed this notion in a letter to the Belgian art dealer Ernest Gambart (1814-1902): “The alterations that I have made from the original picture [The Duel after the Masquerade, 1857-9, Walters Art Museum] have singularly improved this composition, especially in its general aspect...and I regret not to have thought of it at first when I executed the original,” (Hering, Gérôme, p. 75). 11. Written in capital letters, and devoid of accents or embellishment, it suggests that this work was intended as a finished and marketable version, rather than a study or personal gift. (Gérôme typically signed these latter works in longhand.) 12. The photographic quality of these works has long encouraged their interpretation as “factual”—for better or for worse. For more on this subject, see Emily M. Weeks, “A Veil of Truth: The Art and Artistry of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1906),” Private Journey Magazine (January 2011); and “A Veil of Truth and the Details of Empire: John Frederick Lewis’s The Reception of 1873,” Art and the British Empire, edited by Tim Barringer, Geoff Quilley, and Douglas Fordham (Manchester and New York: Manchester University Press, 2007), pp. 237-53. 13. Samuel Mendel (1814-1884), called the “Merchant Prince,” was a wealthy textile merchant from Manchester, England. His collection at Manley Hall was widely known and documented. Henry William Ferdinand Bolckow (1806-1878), of Middlesbrough, England, was a prominent industrialist and Member of Parliament. William Peddle Henszey (1832-1909), a Pennsylvania railroad baron, was a member of numerous clubs and associations, and a major supporter of the arts. His residence, called “Redleaf,” was filled with significant artworks, including the present painting by Gérôme. For more on Gérôme’s popularity in America, see Emily M. Weeks, “An Enduring Renaissance: Collecting Gérôme in America,” Gérôme, exh. cat., Gallery 19c, New York, 2017.

Traders in Treasures was a shop owned by Milton Schepps who always claimed that his two closest friends in life were the writer Damon Runyon and my father. His store was also known as ‘Jeweler to the stars,’ and he was the man who introduced my father to Frank Sinatra who over the years collected over 30 of my father’s paintings. The frame is by my mother, and the scene was always very popular. This rendition probably dates from the early 1950s and is one of the finest renditions I have seen.”1 1.

Lots 328–346 from the Collection of Dory Previn Dory Previn was a composer, lyricist, author, playwright, recording artist, and performer. Her early successes came in Hollywood while working for MGM, where she wrote songs for films, usually as a lyricist teaming up with her then-husband, composer and conductor André Previn. They worked on soundtracks including one for the film version of Valley of the Dolls, the theme song of which was recorded by Dionne Warwick. Together they were nominated for two Academy Awards and wrote songs recorded by Rosemary Clooney, Vic Damone, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., Doris Day, Leontyne Price, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and others. Ms. Previn gained a third Academy Award nomination for a collaboration with the composer Fred Karlin. Her lyrics for television garnered an Emmy Award and an Emmy nomination. By 1970, she had begun to write and perform her own songs, eventually recording over ten albums. In addition to lyrics, she wrote and published memoirs, short stories, and plays. In 1986, Ms. Previn married actor and artist Joby Baker with whom she shared a deep interest in art and artists. Baker’s illustrations accompany the musical compositions in Ms. Previn’s songbook, published in 1995, and works from the couple’s collection offered in this sale include prints by William Blake, whose poetry and art greatly influenced both Previn and Baker, portraits of Previn by Baker and other contemporary artists (many of whom were close personal friends), and paintings by 20th century American masters John Sloan and Charles Demuth.

328 Joby Baker (Canadian/American, b. 1934) Stripes Crucified Dated, inscribed, and signed “1991/Southfield/ Ma./#3/Baker” on the reverse, titled on labels from Salander-O’Reilly Galleries, New York, and Lauren Clark Fine Art, Great Barrington, Massachusetts, affixed to the reverse. Oil on board, 20 x 15 3/4 in. (51.0 x 40.0 cm), framed. Condition: Abrasions and small losses to edges, surface grime. Provenance: Collection of Dory Previn, Massachusetts. N.B. An actor and artist, Joby Baker first appeared on television in the 1950s and went on to join the casts of many films and TV shows such as Girl Happy with Elvis Presley, the Gidget movie series, and Good Morning, World. By the early 1960s, Baker was dividing his time between acting and painting. He exhibited artworks in Los Angeles and San Francisco and associated with artists of the Bay Area figurative movement including his close friend Nathan Oliveira (see Lot 330). Baker married Dory Previn in 1986 and the two moved to the East coast, where Baker had his first solo show in New York in 1987 and continues to work and exhibit his paintings, sculpture, and jewelry in western Massachusetts. The isolated figure of a man, seemingly in agony or distress, recurs throughout Baker’s work with its features obscured under dense layers of paint, as appears the figure in this painting. $1,500-2,000 328

N.B. Upon learning that Dory Previn had written a song entitled Morning Star/Evening Star, Georgia O’Keeffe was struck by the similarity to her “Morning Star” and “Evening Star” watercolor series. Baker and Previn ultimately went to visit O’Keeffe and spent the day with her. Baker reports that he brought an old hand-held camera, similar to one that O’Keeffe’s husband, Alfred Stieglitz, had used, and took a picture of Previn and O’Keeffe. Baker painted this work based on the photograph he took that day, atypically using a palette knife to capture the quality of the original photograph. $1,500-2,000 332 Paul Wonner (American, 1920-2008) Jacob Wrestling with an Angel Signed “Paul Wonner” on the frame backing, signed or inscribed, titled, and dated “Paul Wonner/.../1965 (?)” on the frame backing.

In the catalogue raisonné entry for a related work (No. 71, Pasture, Fort Washington), Rowland Elzea noted that in August 1906 Sloan wrote in his diary that he bought a wooden sketch box that he was fitting out to try some outdoor work while in Fort Washington (Pennsylvania). Robert Henri had taken up the practice of painting small, rapid pochades from nature while he was in France, and he urged his friends to try this technique. Elzea quotes John Sloan from his diary (August 11, 1906), “Made a try with my sketch box and find it quite a new thing to paint outdoors. My work of this sort has usually been of city subjects from memory...” Between 1906 and 1911, Sloan went on to paint about 50 small, 9 x 11 inch canvases from nature. $15,000-20,000

373 Louise Nevelson (American, 1899-1988) Maquette for Sky Landscape I (A) Incised signature and number “NEVELSON 5/6/7987” on the underside, titled and dated “...1977-79” on a label from The Pace Gallery, New York, affixed to the underside. Welded steel painted black, height 30 1/4 in. (76.8 cm). Condition: Dust and dirt to the interstices, possible small area of oxidation to the base. Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection. Literature: Nevelson: Maquettes for Monumental Sculpture, exhibition catalog, New York: The Pace Gallery, 1980, illustrated. Exhibitions: Nevelson: Maquettes for Monumental Sculpture, The Pace Gallery, New York, May 2–June 27, 1980. N.B. Louise Nevelson made her first monumental outdoor steel sculpture, Atmosphere and Environment X (Princeton University), in 1969. By that time, she was already recognized as one of the leading figures in twentieth-century American sculpture. She had represented the United States at the 1962 Venice Biennale and had been honored with a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1967. This maquette for the large Sky Landscape I (currently on view at the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park) demonstrates the elegance of Nevelson’s smooth opaque black surfaces, and the balanced fusion of her geometric angles and anthropomorphic curves.

373

Nevelson developed her signature monochromatic, spray-painted wooden assemblages in the 1950s and began to translate the hallmarks of her style— monochromatic black color, collage/ assemblage form, and influences from Native American and Mayan art and from Cubism—to steel in order to fulfill the Princeton commission. She embraced the idea of her works being able to withstand the outdoor environment, and the freedom in moving beyond limitations in size. She said, “Remember, I was in my early seventies when I came into monumental outdoor sculpture... I had been through the enclosures of wood. I had been through the shadows. I had been through the enclosures and come out into the open.”1 1. Rapaport, Brooke Kamin, The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson: Constructing a Legend (New York: Jewish Museum of New York, 2007), pp. 21-22.

N.B. Christo moved to Paris and made his first wrapped objects in 1958. These initial works were small, empty paint cans that he covered in resin-soaked canvas, tied up, and coated with a mixture of glue, varnish, sand, and a thin layer of dark-black or brown lacquer. By 1961, Christo had begun to wrap a variety of everyday objects, including magazines, a telephone, and a motorcycle, in clear polyethylene plastic. He wrapped these invoices from Johnson Printing Company/ Contemporary Art Lithographers and returned the package to the company as payment for the books and posters they printed for him in the 1970s. The artist and his wife, JeanneClaude, expounded on the wrapping theme in subsequent years, applying it in monumental scale to the natural and built environment, as they did by wrapping the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and a section of the Australian coastline (both 1968-69).

In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor.

All property is sold â&#x20AC;&#x153;as is,â&#x20AC;? and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. 3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale.
