<div><font face=Lato size=3>Painted during John Singer Sargent's trip to the Austrian Tyrol in the summer of 1914, this work captures a moment of profound historical tension as Austria declared war on Serbia that July, placing Sargent at the threshold of the First World War. The painting offers a strikingly intimate and unexpected view of the Alpine landscape, framed from within a sheep pen with the mountain itself largely cropped from sight. This choice of vantage point shifts the viewers focus to the meeting point of the valley and the rising slope, where deep verdant greens anchor the composition and an overcast sky suggests a subtle sense of unease beyond the tranquil pastoral foreground.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3>The work is included in the Sargent catalogue raisonne by Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray, confirming its secure place within the artists documented production. Sargent created several related works during his 1914 stay in the Tyrol across both oil and watercolor, including <em>Tyrolese Interior </em>at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, <em>Woodsheds Tyrol</em> at the Art Institute of Chicago, and <em>Trout Stream</em> <em>in the Tyrol</em> at the de Young Museum. Together these works demonstrate Sargent's sustained engagement with the region and its distinctive light, atmosphere, and rural architecture during this pivotal year.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3>This painting also carries distinguished provenance, having been previously held in the collection of Henry Clay Frick, the American industrialist and founder of the Frick Collection, before being given as a gift to his friend and lawyer Louis Cass Ledyard, who also served as counsel to J P Morgan. Its rarity within Sargents mature Tyrolean subjects is further underscored by the small number of comparable works that have reached the market, with only one closely related painting from this period, A Tyrolese Crucifix from 1915, having appeared at auction in recent decades.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3>Sargents work continues to receive major institutional recognition, including the forthcoming exhibition Sargent Dazzling Paris at the Musee d Orsay in 2025 to 2026, reaffirming the ongoing relevance of his mature European landscapes within the broader narrative of early twentieth century art.</font></div>

<div>"Planting (Spring Plowing)", a vibrant watercolor and graphite on paper by Thomas Hart Benton, circa 1939-40, embodies the artist’s signature Regionalist style. The work depicts a rural scene where two figures toil in a field, one guiding a plow pulled by a donkey, the other carrying a bucket, sowing seeds under a bright, cloud-streaked sky. The rolling, richly hued earth, painted in warm browns and oranges, contrasts with the lush green foliage and distant trees, while a small structure sits at the horizon, grounding the composition in everyday life. Benton’s dynamic lines and fluid brushwork capture the rhythm of labor and the vitality of spring, infusing the scene with a sense of movement and purpose. </div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div>The reverse image of this artwork was transformed into a lithograph in 1939, with notable examples housed in prestigious museum collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Chazen Museum of Art. This print adaptation underscores the piece’s cultural significance, reflecting Benton’s influence on American art during the Depression era and the resonance of this particular subject celebrating the resilience and harmony of its people with nature. Created with a keen eye for detail and a deep connection to the land, "Planting (Spring Plowing)" showcases Benton’s ability to blend realism with his hallmark muscular style. It is accompanied by two letters written by Thomas Hart Benton to Lon Ramsey, its original owner, and bears an inscription by the artist on the verso.  </div>

<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Afternoon</em> is a rare early painting by George Inness, created when the artist was only twenty one and actively shaping the foundations of his career. Although largely self-taught, Inness was immersed in a transformative period during the mid-eighteen forties, studying at the National Academy of Design in New York where he closely observed the work of Hudson River School painters such as Thomas Cole and Asher Durand. This moment marked his first public exhibitions at the Academy in 1844, followed by the opening of his own studio in 1848, placing <em>Afternoon</em> squarely within the formative years in which his artistic voice began to emerge.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>The painting also reflects the subtle influence of French landscaper Regis Francois Gignoux, under whom the young Inness studied before making his first trip to Europe in 1851. This early training helped shape the atmospheric sensitivity and poetic naturalism that would later define his mature style.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Afternoon</em> carries distinguished provenance, having passed through the collections of several important nineteenth and early twentieth century New Yorkers, including politician Cornelius Gardiner, financier and philanthropist Emerson McMillian, and later the philanthropist Agnes Ladson Dana. This lineage, combined with the paintings exceptional early date, makes it an especially significant example from the beginning of Innesss enduring contribution to American landscape painting.</font></div>

<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Dancing Girl</em> dates from 1881 to 1882, a dynamic and exploratory moment in William Merritt Chase’s career when he was actively engaging with European subjects and broadening the expressive range of American painting. The work is included in the Chase catalogue raisonne and reflects the artists fascination with Spanish themes, which many American painters of the period encountered firsthand while studying the masters in the Prado and absorbing the culture, costume, and movement of Spain. Although the painting was later mislabeled by an early owner as an Italian street scene, Chase was in Spain during the summer when this work was created, firmly situating it within his Spanish period.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>The animated single figure captures a woman in motion, a subject that is notably rare within Chases oeuvre and distinct from the more contemplative female figures that dominate his most valuable works. His auction record painting, <em>I Think I Am Ready Now</em> from around 1883, shares the focus on a single female figure from the same period, underscoring the importance of this moment in his artistic development. The present work also relates closely to important institutional examples, including <em>Carmencita</em> from 1885 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and <em>A Tambourine Player</em> in the Montclair Art Museum, both of which highlight Chases sustained interest in dancers and Spanish costume.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>The painting was held on long term loan to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston from 1906 to 1922, affirming its early institutional recognition. Chase’s Spanish works should be viewed in dialogue with those of John Singer Sargent, whom he met in 1881 while Sargent was developing studies for <em>El Jaleo</em>, as both artists looked to Velázquez for inspiration. <em>Dancing Girl</em> stands as a spirited and uncommon example of Chase portraying a woman at play, capturing movement, rhythm, and cultural immediacy at the height of his European engagement.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div>

<div>"Untitled”, a rare and intimate mixed media on paper piece by Anni Albers, was a personal gift to its owner, Katherine Weber, wife of Albers Foundation president Nicholas Fox Weber, presented during a visit in Connecticut. Never offered for sale, this artwork stands apart from Albers’ renowned textile creations, showcasing her versatility as an abstract artist. Created with a delicate interplay of pencil, ink, and watercolor, the composition features geometric shapes and subtle color gradients that dance across the surface, reflecting her inventive exploration of form and texture. This piece, likely from her later career, highlights her shift toward printmaking and drawing after 1963, moving beyond the pictorial weavings of the 1950s. </div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div>Born in Berlin and trained at the Bauhaus in the 1920s, where she later taught, Albers pioneered avant-garde textile designs blending functionality with bold abstractions. Her time at Black Mountain College and trips to Mexico exposed her to pre-Columbian art, influencing her use of forgotten techniques and abstract motifs, as seen in simplified and intuitive form in our work. Its intimate scale and personal provenance lend it a unique charm, contrasting with her larger public commissions. This piece offers a window into the experimental spirit that marks Albers’ legacy within 20th-century art and design. </div>

<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black><em>Girl in White (Seated Figure)</em> from 1896 is an elegant example of Frank Bensons gift for intimate portraiture, rendered with a refined palette and a masterful command of light and texture. The painting was originally a personal gift from Benson to his friend and fellow American artist Frederick P. Vinton, remaining in the Vinton family before later entering the distinguished collection of Paul Magriel, a renowned collector and scholar of American art. This early provenance underscores the works longstanding appreciation among artists and connoisseurs alike.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>The portrait relates closely to similar half-figure studies held in major institutional collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Farnsworth Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., all of which highlight Bensons importance within the American Impressionist tradition. In this work, the sitter is shown in profile against a simple, reduced background that allows the subtleties of color and drapery to command full attention. The warm, luminous modeling of the skin and the delicate, gossamer like fabric of the dress are heightened by Benson's economical use of tone, creating a sense of quiet focus and graceful restraint.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Together, these qualities reveal the depth of Bensons skill during the 1890s and affirm <em>Girl in White (Seated Figure)</em> as a beautifully preserved and emotionally resonant example of his portrait practice.</font></div>

<div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919"><em>The Road to the Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts</em> is a vibrant and characteristically bold example of Jane Peterson’s celebrated views of the Massachusetts coast, a subject that remains among the most sought after in her work. Previously held in the collection of the artist and her estate, the painting reflects the period when Peterson was producing her finest New England scenes, distilling the atmosphere and color of Gloucester with a confident and expressive hand. Gloucester was one of her most beloved subjects, and comparable paintings of the area have exceeded expectations at auction, often more than doubling their high estimates, underscoring both the desirability of the theme and the competitive value of the present work.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">This large canvas captures a quiet coastal afternoon, with a dirt road leading toward Gloucester Harbor as suggested by the title. Peterson uses saturated colors and broad, lively brushstrokes to animate the scene, from the touches of blue on the rooftops to the shifting interplay of blue and grey in the retreating sky that suggests a moment just after rainfall. The painting relates closely to other Gloucester works in major museum collections, including <em>Old Road, Gloucester</em> at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.</font></div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">Peterson was known for choosing subjects beyond the conventional expectations for women artists of her time, favoring street scenes, travel, public life, and even wartime experience. <em>The Road to the Harbor, Gloucester, Massachusetts </em>embodies this outward looking spirit, revealing her ability to transform everyday coastal paths into scenes of vivid immediacy and enduring charm.</font></div>

<div>John Marin’s "Sea Movement, Maine" (1937) exemplifies his dynamic approach to watercolor, a medium he transformed into one of the most expressive vehicles of early American modernism. Painted during his mature period, the work captures the restless energy of the Maine coast—a subject Marin returned to repeatedly as a source of inspiration. Quick, gestural strokes convey the surging sea and jagged rocks, while washes of deep blue, gray, and black evoke both immediacy and atmosphere. Marin’s hallmark ability to fuse abstraction with observation is evident here: the composition is at once faithful to the rhythms of the natural world and liberated in its expressive freedom. </div> <br> <br><div> </div> <br> <br><div>The significance of this work is underscored by its inclusion in Sheldon Reich’s 1970 catalogue raisonné (no. 37.19) and its exhibition history in two museum shows, affirming its place within Marin’s celebrated body of Maine seascapes. "Sea Movement, Maine" stands as a vivid testament to the artist’s lifelong pursuit of translating nature’s vitality into painterly form. </div>
