June 13, 2013, 1:30 PM EST
New York, NY, USA
Estimated Price: $1,200 - $1,800
Description: RALPH ALBERT BLAKELOCK Indian Encampment on a River Bank. Oil on canvas. 230x385 mm; 9x15 1/4 inches. Signed in oil, lower left recto. Blakelock (1847-1919) was a New York City-born self-taught artist who initially followed in his father's footsteps by studying medicine before pursuing his passion for art. Instead of spending time abroad in Europe to further his art career, as was his father's suggestion and the path for most American artists with the means to do so, Blakelock sojourned through the American West from 1869 to 1872. His affinity for the Hudon River School is apparent in his atmospheric and idealized landscapes, though his works are often heavier, moodier and darkly mysterious (Blakelock was plagued by psychological troubles throughout his career). Indian encampments were among his favorite subjects, as he stayed with American Indians repeatedly during his western travels.

June 13, 2013, 1:30 PM EST
New York, NY, USA
Estimated Price: $25,000 - $35,000
Description: EDWARD HOPPER "Maiden Wait," The Ripple Saith. Watercolor and pencil on white wove paper, 1899. 230x170 mm; 9x6 3/8 inches. Signed and dated in watercolor, lower right recto, and inscribed with the verse "Maiden, wait," the ripple saith; "Wait awhile, for I am death!," from a poem by Rudyard Kipling, 1895, in ink lower center recto. Ex-collection the artist, until 1967; his widow, Jo Hopper, until 1968; Reverend Arthayer R. Sanborn, Nyack, until 2005; Alexander Gallery, New York, courtesy of Kennedy Galleries, New York, until October, 2007; thence to the current owner. Published in Levin, Edward Hopper, A Catalogue Raisonne, volume II, page 7, figure W-15. While still at Nyack Union High School, just north of New York City, Hopper (1882-1967) created his first signed oil painting, Rowboat in Rocky Cove, 1895, which evidences his early interest in realism and natural subjects. After high school, Hopper studied at the Correspondence School of Illustrating, New York. Within a year, he transferred to the New York Institute of Art and Design where he studied from 1900-1906, and was influenced by Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase and Kenneth Hayes Miller, alongside classmates George Bellows and Rockwell Kent. Hopper began working as an illustrator in 1905 with C. C. Phillips & Company, New York. His illustrations greatly supplemented his income through the early 1900s. Not until 1924, after having sold out the entirety of his second one-man exhibition, at Rehn Gallery, New York, in 1924, did he find sound financial footing through sales of his paintings. According to Levin, among the illustrations Hopper produced in art school for literary works by Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, he also, "Sketched Rudyard Kipling's Private Mulvaney from the cycle of soldier stories that made its author famous. Kipling's work made such an impression on the young Hopper that even when he wrote as an adult, he referred to the poetry."

Annotated in pen and ink and pencil, right margin recto. With the Reynolds's Bristolboard blind stamp, upper right recto. This work has been accepted into the files for inclusion in the forthcoming Childe Hassam catalogue raisonné, currently in preparation by Stuart P. Feld and Kathleen Burnside According to Burnside this is likely an early illustration by Hassam. Known as an American Impressionist, Hassam began as an illustrator before moving to Paris to pursue a formal art education at the Académie Julian. As one of the group of Ten American Painters, Hassam devoted himself to exploring painting techniques influenced by the avant-garde style of the Impressionist Salon de Refusés artists, notably Manet and Whistler, who were in full swing in Paris during the 1860s and 1870s. He then brought this experience back to the States where he became the foremost American Impressionist painter.

June 13, 2013, 1:30 PM EST
New York, NY, USA
Estimated Price: $15,000 - $20,000
Description: JANE PETERSON Campo Santa Margherita, Venice. Gouache, watercolor and charcoal on tan wove paper, 1923. 450x600 mm; 17 3/4x23 1/2 inches. Signed in ink, lower right recto. Peterson was an extremely well-traveled individual for an American female artist at the time. She toured extensively in England and France during the early 1900s and, in 1909, she ventured to Madrid, to study under Joaquin Sorolla, before continuing on through Egypt and Algeria. Venice and its colorful, sun-bathed views was likely a favorite subject for Peterson, allowing her to develope her post-Impressionistic style of painting (she is often linked stylistically to fellow American artist Maurice Prendergast). She studied in Venice between 1908 and 1909 under the English artist Frank Brangwyn.
