Note: The packet ship Emerald of Boston is showing here in two views. In the main view, she is anchored in the Mersey with two of Liverpool’s well-known landmarks off her mizzen mast: St. Nicholas’ Church and the dome of the Town Hall. In the secondary view at left, the vessel is seen under sail, with a view of the dome of St. Paul’s, the vessel there painted in much lighter tones, to give the illusion of distance.

In the anchored view she has an extensive display of flags. From the mizzen fly the flags reading 273 in Watson’s Code, signifying Emerald (American ship). From her main mast flies Boston’s Elford Code flags, and on the foremast she is displaying Watson Code flags from one to zero, in correct order.

Built in Boston by John Wade in 1822 for the “Boston & Liverpool Packet Company,” the Emerald was part of what was more familiarly called the “Jewel Line.” Captain Philip Fox of Cohasset was her master, and the Emerald held the record for the fastest passage from Liverpool to Boston Light - 16 days, 21 hours.

N.B. This painting has been recently reviewed

by D. Frederick Baker and is now included in Ronald G. Pisano’s The Complete Catalogue of Known and Documented Work by William Merritt Chase (1849-1916). It has been given the catalogue no. LAA.346 and the information will be entered in the Pisano/ Chase Catalogue Raisonné Project files at the Kellen Archives, New York.

In his report Dr. Baker writes, “Use of a winding hill road starting in the foreground is an oft used pictorial device by the artist. But the detail of the house (u.r.) on the horizon top of a hill and the surrounding trees and vegetation is also a motif known to have been used by Chase.

Aside from the physical elements, the work appears to have been painted in a masterly manner, dashed off by the artist with aplomb.

The only issue is the rather indefinable jumble in the lower right quadrant of the painting.

Usually Chase, though painting pretty much exactly what he saw, was more exact in defining even casual elements. It does, however, define spatial relationship adding to the sense of the receding hill. The signature is painted with authority and deftness, also a hallmark of Chase’s style. Alas, the artist rarely dated and/or noted location in his landscapes. One might opine it was painted in the Shinnecock hills surrounding his summer home, several miles west of his famous Shinnecock Summer School located in Southampton, NY. In the summer of 1891 before his home was completed, he painted several paintings of the surrounding countryside on roughly the same sized wood panels; however the telephone pole near the house on the horizon would suggest it was done near Carmel, California, during his 1914 summer school relocated to the west coasttelephone poles being most evident in his wood panel painting of Monterey, California.”

876 John La Farge (American, 1835-1910) Quince Blossoms with Tree Trunk Unsigned, inscribed faintly “-D- 134/Mrs. HH Fuller-/will call” in pencil on the reverse.

Oil on panel, 10 7/8 x 5 7/8 in., in a period frame.

Condition: Good.

Provenance: William Vareika Fine Arts, Ltd., Newport, Rhode Island; through to the estate of Richard Mellon Scaife, Pennsylvania. The proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit a Pennsylvania art institution.

N.B. John La Farge’s flower paintings have been described as the most beautiful and poetic ever produced by an American artist.

The example at hand was reviewed in 1990

by Dr. James L. Yarnall, Director of La Farge Catalogue Raisonné, Inc. He noted that the unexpected perspective, unusual composition, and spindling floral form of a flowering Japanese quince branch were characteristic of “nature-in-nature” still lifes dating from 1871.

The work was newly discovered at the time of his review, and no provenance or exhibition history was known. Dr. Yarnall noted that the still life is similar in feeling to La Farge’s Flowers, Blue Iris with Trunk of Dead Apple Tree, also from the collection of Richard Mellon Scaife. A photocopy of Dr. Yarnall’s typed notecard accompanies the lot.

We would like to thank William Vareika, William Vareika Fine Arts, Ltd., Newport, Rhode Island, for his kind assistance cataloging this lot. $15,000-25,000 877 American School, 19th Century Trompe-l’oeil Painting of Birds Unsigned.
