16 Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916) Brunnhilde (Crépuscule des dieux), 1894, projected edition of 80, printed by Mourocq, Paris (Mellerio, 130).

Condition: Pale foxing to supporting sheet and its verso, pencil annotations to lower margin and verso of support, crease to both lower corners of supporting sheet.

Although the edition was intended to be 80 it is commonly thought that the actual number of impressions pulled was less. Armand Parent (1863-1934) was an accomplished music professor and violinist. He was also a member of Redon’s intellectual circle and a close personal friend—Redon even drew a portrait of Parent. It is fitting that Redon should dedicate this particular print to Parent, as Brunnhilde is one of the main characters from Richard Wagner’s famous Ring cycle. $10,000-15,000 16

In all the artist created seven states before arriving at the final published state of this composition. $1,200-1,800

201 School of Ambrosius Benson (Flemish, c. 1495-1550) Virgin and Child with Angel and Bowl of Cherries Unsigned, inscribed “Isenbrandt” on a label affixed to the back of the frame. Tempera on panel, sight size 30 x 25 in. (76.2 x 63.5 cm), framed. Condition: Three or four major periods of restoration from the 19th century or earlier, major figures are fairly intact, not examined out of frame.

N.B. High resolution images of this painting were reviewed by Suzanne Laemers, PhD, Curator, Early Netherlandish Painting, RKD – Nederlands Instituut voor Kunstgeschiedenis, who made the association with the school of Ambrosius Benson based on similar compositions, including a Madonna and Child with Angel which was sold at Christie’s London in 2002 (Christie’s London, Important Old Master Pictures, Wednesday, July 10, 2002, Lot 15). RKD records also revealed a second work, attributed to Meester van het Heilig Bloed (Master of the Holy Blood), active c. 1500-1520, of a Madonna and Child with Angel with very similar poses and gestures.

The whereabouts of that painting is unknown, but it had been referenced by Max Friedländer in Early Netherlandish Paintings. Although the attribution to Adriaen Isenbrandt (Flemish, 1490-1551), as suggested on the handwritten label on the painting at hand, is not supported by current scholarhip, it does place the painting in Flanders at the appropriate period. $20,000-30,000

210 Attributed to Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798-1863) Lion Studies/A Double-sided Sketch Stamped “E.D” in red l.r., inscribed with text in French along the bottom edge, identified on an invoice from Chamberlin Gallery, New York, dated November 11, 1988.

210

N.B. The lot is accompanied by a copy of the invoice from Chamberlin Gallery including a short text, referenced above. It states that the text was compiled with the assistance of the Delacroix scholar Professor Lee Johnson. It explains that the drawing relates back to a c. 1830 painting by Delacroix, Study of Lions. The text of the pencil inscription on the bottom of the drawing corresponds to Delacroix’s journal entry of June 14, 1851, and reappears in an entry on April 27, 1854, in which the artist contemplated using images of lions in two paintings, one an allegory of genius attaining glory. However, the inscription on the drawing is probably not in the artist’s hand. $2,000-3,000 211 Rosa Bonheur (French, 1822-1899)

216 Hendrik Albertus Kleijn (Dutch, 1860-1929) Elizabeth Jacobs Bas/A Copy After Rembrandt or Bol Titled and inscribed “Elizabeth Jacobs Bas./ naar hit original/van Rembrandt/door Hendr Klyn” on the reverse. Oil on canvas, 46 1/8 x 32 in. (117.0 x 80.7 cm), framed. Condition: Lined onto a wood panel, retouch, craquelure, varnish inconsistencies. Provenance: Property from the estate of A. Margaret Bok, Rockport, Maine. N.B. The portrait on which this copy is based is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The portrait has an interesting history. Although originally attributed to Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669), the portrait is now attributed to his talented pupil, Ferdinand Bol (Dutch, 1616-1680), c. 1640-45. By 1642, Bol had moved on from Rembrandt’s atelier and set up his own studio in Amsterdam. During the next few years, his style resembled Rembrandt’s so closely that many of Bol’s portraits were later confused with those of Rembrandt.

216

There was also a popular engraving after the portrait, created by Charles Waltner (French, 1846-1925) and published by Boussod, Valadon & Cie in 1877. The text beneath the image on the engraving spells the sitter’s name Elizabeth with a “z,” while the more traditional spelling used by the Rijksmuseum is Elisabeth. The Rijksmusuem also leaves the true identity of the sitter somewhat in doubt. The inscription that appears on the back of the panel was probably transcribed by the restorer who did the lining. Some of the Dutch words were likely copied incorrectly, such as “hit” instead of “het” and “original” in place of “origineel.” This, and the general variations of Dutch spellings when transcribed to English, would account for the artist’s name being recorded as “Klyn” rather than “Kleijn.” $10,000-20,000

234 William Trost Richards (American, 18331905) The Shores of Bude, Cornwall, alternatively titled Coast of Cornwall Signed and dated “Wm. T. Richards/1885” l.l., identified on two labels (see below) affixed to the stretcher. Oil on canvas, 28 x 44 in. (71.0 x 112.0 cm), in a Newcomb-Macklin frame. Condition: Lined onto a wood panel, fine craquelure, pale areas along the edges of the composition suggestive of old frame abrasions/minor paint losses. Provenance: Property from the estate of A. Margaret Bok, Rockport, Maine.

N.B. The handwritten label providing the primary title appears period. Its format suggests it to be an exhibition label, and it may be in the hand of the artist. The name “William T. Richards” is recorded on the “Artist” line, and “816 Chestnut St.” appears beneath Richards’s name on the line ascribed for “Owner.” Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts exhibition records list that specific Philadelphia address for the artist, starting with the 1884 exhibition and continuing through 1890. No works by this particular title are listed in the compilations of exhibition records for PAFA, National Academy of Design, Art Institute of Chicago, or Boston Art Club during those years, although Richards did exhibit other Cornwall related works. Many ships have been wrecked on the jagged reefs which fringe the base of the formidable sandstone cliffs of Bude in north Cornwall. $20,000-40,000

His name appears on the envelope, the newspaper clipping relates a story about him, and he was known to enjoy a cigar. Hayes also was in favor of goldbacked currency, which may have inspired the inclusion of the ten dollar bill. $3,000-5,000

N.B. The painting has been examined in person by Dr. Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. Dr. Stebbins will include the painting in the next edition of the Heade catalogue raisonné, and his letter confirming its authenticity accompanies the lot. Dr. Stebbins dates this work to between 1860 and 1862, during Heade’s first years in New York. It is among Heade’s earliest floral compositions, highly original works which are characterized by large blossoms displayed in fragile vases. In this case the artist set the vase on an unusual marble tabletop, rather than the more typical wood table. $30,000-50,000

250

Home for Friendless Children, St. Marks Place Unsigned, titled, attributed, and dated “.../May 6/78” in a pencil inscription on the reverse. Pencil on cream wove paper, 5 x 7 in. (12.6 x 17.5 cm), unmatted, unframed. Condition: Toning, fox marks, small abrasion with breaks to paper fibers u.c., subtle handling creases. N.B. This sketch relates to a tile measuring 8 x 8 inches painted by Winslow Homer which is included in the Record of Works by Winslow Homer, Volume III, catalog number 866+. The catalog description for the tile suggests that, due to the rough and sketch-like character of the scene, it was likely made by Homer at one of the Tile Club’s Wednesday evening meetings. The entry also compares the subject matter with Homer’s wash drawing, The Music Lesson, of 1880. The Tile Club was founded in 1877 as an informal group for comradery and conversation, and, in the first years, to informally paint tiles, an activity aligned with the popular aesthetic movement of the period. Membership was fluid but at various times included such artists as Edwin Austin Abbey, William Merritt Chase, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, John Twachtman, Elihu Vedder, and architect Stanford White. The group had largely disbanded by the late 1880s. $1,000-1,500

Painted bronze, height 25 in. (63.5 cm), on a plinth with a presentation plaque. Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices, scattered minor abrasions to the painted surface.

N.B. In this major study for the monument to Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark’s Native American guide, Harry Jackson continued to expand the exploration of color in sculpture, on his way to realize what he described as three-dimensional paintings. Jackson created a number of studies for Sacajawea which became works in their own right. The fullscale Sacajawea, dedicated on July 4, 1980, stands 10 feet tall and is in Cashman Greever Gardens of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming. $15,000-25,000

267 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Algonquin Chief and Warrior Signed, dated, and numbered “© Harry Jackson 1971” and “38” in the bronze along the rear edge of the base. Bronze with black patina, height 30 in. (76.2 cm), on a marble plinth. Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California. N.B. In 1964 Harry Jackson received a commission from the Fort Pitt Museum in Pittsburgh to create a series of murals, River, Road and Point, to highlight the history of the area and to celebrate William Pitt. Jackson first created a series of floor mosaics for the museum. However, the potential of flooding at the museum caused Jackson to reconsider the format of the mural commission. He embarked instead on eight panel paintings in lieu of a fresco or mural. Due to these logistical problems and resulting conflicts with the Mellon Foundation, the commissioned panels were never installed and remained in Jackson’s studio in Camaiore, Italy.

267

Since his earliest exploration into bronze in the late 1950s, Jackson created sculptures to better understand the figures in his paintings. That is the case for this sculptural group and for Iroquois Guide (see Lot 272). The Fort Pitt mural subject centers upon the history of Fort Duquesne and the French and Indian War. In July 1755 British forces were ambushed while approaching Fort Duquesne. In this sculpture, the Algonquin warrior holds a spear displaying a British Grenadier’s mitre cap with the queue still attached. The Chief holds a trade musket, a rifle built specifically for trade with the Indians. The tide of the war would turn in 1757, under the direction of William Pitt, the new British leader, who vigorously pursued the war, seeing the colonial conflicts as the key to building a vast British empire. $12,000-18,000

Pony Express II Signed, dated, titled, and numbered “© Harry Jackson 1980” and “PE II 54” in the bronze base, with the artist’s foundry stamp and thumbprint also in the bronze base. Bronze with dark brown patina, height 13 1/16 in. (33.2 cm), on a marble plinth. Condition: Dust and dirt to the interstices. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California. N.B. Pony Express is one of Harry Jackson’s most highly wrought pieces, carefully constructed and repeatedly refined. He wrote that “every millimeter has been thought over and passed a kind of artful inner board of censorship and approval.”1 Details such as the left front mail pouch shown without a lock, because it is for local mail between way stations, and the rawhide quirt trailing out from the saddle horn, all resulted from Jackson’s complete immersion in every aspect of the design. Of particular note is the open mouth of the horse. Jackson was well aware that “a horse never opens his mouth when he’s running until he’s ready to drop dead.”2 Jackson deliberately chose to sculpt the open mouth for dramatic and artistic reasons, and he did so with complete awareness of the natural law he was breaking. 1.

N.B. In the sculptures created in preparation for the mural River, Road and Point, Harry Jackson wanted each to specifically act out in detail what they would be within the illusionary three-dimensional space of the mural. Here the rugged Iroquois guide, vigilant from beneath the folds of his red blanket, cradles his rifle as he trudges through snow which clings to his fur boots. $3,000-5,000 273 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Marie, Study for Sacajawea Signed and dated “© Harry Jackson 80” “SUH20” and with the artist’s foundry stamp and thumbprint incised in the bronze at the back of the head.

278 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Ground Roper Inscribed, monogrammed, and dated “For/Bill/HJ 58” in the bronze base. Bronze with dark brown patina, height 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm). Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California. N.B. This small bronze was created by Harry Jackson in early 1958, only four days after he started learning to sculpt. Although ruminating about the dramatic subjects Stampede and Range Burial, readying for the Robert Coe commission, he turned to a subject with which he had firsthand experience, “a nameless hand, waiting alone in the pre-dawn cold to rope an unwilling horse to saddle and ride in the morning’s work.”1 Modeling in three dimensions helped Jackson bring the figure to life and to express its deeper humanity. 1.

N.B. Internationally renowned for his luscious portraits of society ladies, John Singer Sargent had become disenchanted with those commissions that had earned him fame and fortune by the turn of the 20th century. Around 1900 he turned his attentions to plein-air paintings, often in watercolor—a medium he masterfully transformed to accommodate his bold, painterly brushwork and a formal style more akin to the truncated scenes and unorthodox viewpoints of Impressionism than to the precisely drawn and thinly painted watercolors of contemporary convention. He took his materials with him as he traveled throughout Europe and the Middle East, capturing architectural elements, bucolic landscapes, and scenes of friends and family at leisure. Italy was a regular stop on Sargent’s annual tour, and he worked on several views of the Fontana del Nettuno (Neptune Fountain) in Bologna. The Sargent catalogue raisonné deems this work, “…one of the most subtle and beautiful of Sargent’s architectural studies.” With these watercolors, Sargent could fully express his aesthetic ideas and beliefs without the constraints of a portrait or mural commission, and he initially intended to keep these for himself or give them as gifts to friends. He did not paint them with a view toward the commercial market. However, his friend and fellow American abroad, Edward Darley Boit, convinced him to participate in a joint exhibition of their watercolors in 1909 at Knoedler Gallery in New York. Relenting a bit, Sargent agreed that if some collector or institution might wish to purchase his contribution to the exhibition as a whole, he would consider an offer. Indeed, the Brooklyn Museum did just that, and included in the exhibition and the 83 works that Brooklyn acquired was Bologna Fountain. Because Sargent painted the works in the 1909 Knoedler exhibition without the intention of selling them, most were unsigned. Based on the success of that show, Boit and Sargent planned another joint exhibition in 1912. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, made an early request to purchase works from that show, and Sargent pointedly painted larger, more finished works, and signed them, knowing they would join the MFA’s collection. $50,000-70,000

Burchfield: Four Seasons in Salem, Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State, October 28, 2011– February 26, 2012. N.B. Charles Burchfield painted this wintry view of his neighbor’s house early in his career. Looking down from an upstairs window in his family home in Salem, Ohio, he captured the low-slung cottage home of his childhood friends, the Weaver family, in the midst of a blustery snowstorm. Though the weather seems bleak, the open window curtains and burgeoning plant on the windowsill suggest a pleasant and welcoming interior. Burchfield used his bold, modernist handling of watercolor and gouache to depict his hometown in each season, and made the Weavers’ home the subject of numerous paintings. He explored the natural environment and seasonal change throughout his career, an interest that culminated in his late work, The Four Seasons (1949-60, Krannert Art Museum), which unites all of the seasons into one composition. $20,000-30,000

Condition: Dust to interstices on the exterior. Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection. N.B. Costa-Rican born, Mexican artist Francisco Zúñiga was the most important sculptor, printmaker, and draughtsman of the Mexican modern style. He trained first with his father, Manuel María Zúñiga, and then with Guillermo Ruíz (1895-1964) and Oliverio Martínez at the Escuela de Talla Directa in Mexico City. Important influences for the development of Zúñiga’s monumental forms came both from Aztec sculpture and the European avant-garde tradition, especially the work of Auguste Rodin and Aristide Maillol. In all his work, Zúñiga glorified the humble nature of Latin American figures, exalting peasant mothers with their children and resolute workers. While exploring boldly simplified forms, Zúñiga always preferred figurative representation because he found the human figure to be the most important element in the world around him. In this compact composition two lovers are indistinctly intertwined. The fusion of the two bodies, cut from the same elegant black stone, conspicuously characterizes the act of love-making. Today, his works can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC. $25,000-35,000

This medal, which belonged to Maxfield Parrish, commemorates the “Masque of the Golden Bowl” held at Cornish, New Hampshire, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s founding of the Cornish Art Colony. At the time, Saint-Gaudens was seriously ill with cancer, and the fête was planned to honor and celebrate him. Held on the summer solstice of 1905 at Saint-Gaudens’s estate, Aspet, the Masque was a classically themed, outdoor pageant, written by playwright Louis Evans Shipman. There were over seventy participants, all members of the Cornish Colony, including Maxfield Parrish, Kenyon Cox, and Percy MacKaye. Musicians from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, hidden in the surrounding trees, provided the musical accompaniment. As part of the festivities, Saint-Gaudens was honored with a golden cup, and at the end of the evening he and his family were carried back to the house in a chariot. Saint-Gaudens was so moved by the celebration that he created the plaquette to be presented to the participants and to a handful of honored guests.

355 Edmund Charles Tarbell (American, 1862-1938) Peonies and Iris Inscribed, signed, and dated “To David Blaney/Tarbell-26” l.r., identified on exhibition labels (see below) from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and The Currier Gallery of Art, Manchester, New Hampshire, affixed to the frame backing board. Oil on canvas, 28 7/8 x 24 in. (73.2 x 61.2 cm), in a signed and dated Thulin frame. Condition: Minor canvas rippling, minor retouch to the background, dedication to David Blaney probably added at the time the work was presented in 1929. Provenance: From the artist to fellow artist Dwight Blaney’s son, David, as a wedding gift in 1929; then by descent within the Blaney family. Literature: Trevor Fairbrother et al., The Bostonians: Painters of an Elegant Age, 1870-1930 (Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, 1985), cat. no. 80, color illustration, p. 167; Susan Strickler et al., Impressionism Transformed: The Paintings of Edmund C.

Exhibitions: The Bostonians: Painters of an Elegant Age, 1870-1930, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, June 11–September 14, 1986, The Denver Art Museum, October 25, 1986–January 19, 1987, Terra Museum of American Art, Chicago, March 13–May 10, 1987; Impressionism Transformed, The Paintings of Edmund C.

N.B. Edmund Tarbell is considered the dean of Boston’s painters at the turn of the 20th century. Tarbell taught at the influential School of the Museum of Fine Arts from 1889 until 1912, inspiring generations of young artists, dubbed “Tarbellites” by art critic Sadakichi Hartmann in 1897. Tarbell was one of the founding members of The Ten, and he co-founded the Guild of Boston Artists in 1914, serving as its first president. Later in his career he was Principal of the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. Boston School painters in the late 19th century were a congenial group, many teaching at the Museum School and visiting one another in the summer season at their family homes on the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire. The artists captured the season in paintings of family members enjoying the outdoors in brilliant sunshine (for Tarbell this included scenes of his children on horseback on the island of New Castle, New Hampshire). Dwight Blaney often entertained fellow artists at his summer home on Ironbound Island in Maine. Given this convivial atmosphere, it is not surprising that Tarbell would have been included in the wedding festivities for Dwight Blaney’s son and would offer one of his paintings as a gift. Tarbell was a celebrated portraitist and painter of landscapes and interior scenes. While still life paintings, as a specific genre, are somewhat more rare, Tarbell often created beautiful still lifes within his interior scenes, depicting flowers and fine objets d’art with the same elegance as the genteel figures that inhabited his sunlit rooms. Peonies were a perennial favorite, starring in his still lifes and arranged in vases in his interiors. The blue and white porcelain ginger jar, a nod to the love of Japanese art and culture, was an object that appeared in many works of this period. Swedish-born framemaker and wood carver Walfred Thulin (1878-1949) came to America at the age of 22. He worked with Hermann Dudley Murphy until 1912, when he opened his own shop on Boylston Street in Boston, making frames for leading artists of the day until 1949. $20,000-30,000

395

N.B. Shortly after World War II, French abstract artist Pierrette Bloch began studying in Paris with André Lhote and later with Henri Bernard Goetz, who introduced her to Pierre Soulages. Bloch’s early abstract works were deeply influenced by other painters in her circle. Executed in 1950, this work is rendered in heavy broad black gestures and thick impasto showing the influence of her friend and mentor Soulages. It was created the same year she participated in the Salon des réalités nouvelles and before her first solo exhibitions in 1951. As her work evolved, Bloch began to turn to ink and to textiles, finding expanding success in these media. She has been described as the forerunner to the French art movement Supports/Surfaces. This work has been confirmed authentic by David Quéré, the artist’s heir and recognized expert, and relates to one still in her studio. It was a gift from the artist to her good friend and actor, Alvin Epstein. Alvin Epstein (1925-2018) was a celebrated classical stage actor and director who appeared in the Broadway premiere of Waiting for Godot and went on to become widely known for his mastery of works by Samuel Beckett. He was a founding member of the American Repertory Company as well as the Yale Repertory Theater and was long affiliated with nonprofit and regional theater. Epstein met and befriended Pierrette Bloch and Pierre Soulages while studying mime in Paris with Marcel Marceau, and the friendships continued whenever they visited New York. $3,000-5,000 396 Sigmund Joseph Menkes (American, 18961986) Abstract Composition Signed “Menkes” l.l.

Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the current owner in 1988. Exhibitions: LA Hot and Cool: Pioneers, Bank of Boston Art Gallery/MIT List Visual Art Center, Cambridge, November 23, 1987â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 15, 1988.

166

N.B. Jim Shaw worked on the series My Mirage from 1986 through 1991, creating a group of 170 interconnected works of art in a variety of media, each of which tells part of the story of a character named Billy. My Mirage follows Billy, a white, middle-class male, from childhood onward as he navigates the 1960s and 1970s American counterculture. Shaw organized the works into chapters and unified the project by maintaining a standard size of 17 x 14 inches for each work. The result is a visual narrative, structured in the form of a coming-of-age novel; however, the pieces were exhibited about thirty at a time, before being sold individually.
