John Brewster portrait tripled its high estimate at New England Auctions

John Brewster, portrait of a young girl in a white dress, $120,000 ($153,600 with buyer’s premium) at New England Auction.

BRANFORD, Conn. – A John Brewster portrait of a young girl in a white dress sold for more than triple its high estimate at New England Auctions January 10. The 460-lot Fine Americana, Folk Art & Native American sale’s results can be viewed at LiveAuctioneers.

The undated oil-on-panel portrait of a young girl in a white dress, painted by the itinerant American artist John Brewster, Jr. (1766-1854), hammered for $120,000 and sold for $153,600 with buyer’s premium after a protracted bidding war. The sale represented the portrait’s first appearance at auction since it was offered at Christie’s in December 1969, when it realized $43,700.

Brewster was born deaf to a Connecticut family descended from William Brewster, who came to America on the Mayflower and rose to lead the fledgling Puritan community. Brewster made the most of the hand that was dealt to him: his family’s reputation allowed him to move with ease among the elites of New England and offer his portraiture services, while his deafness might have sharpened his artistic skills. On an American Folk Art Museum web page on a past exhibit of Brewster’s work, the writer suggests ‘He was especially sensitive to the sitter’s face, emphasizing his or her direct gaze – as a deaf artist, eye contact became a moment of engagement and communication.’

The Prior-Hamblin School refers to paintings that resemble the works of William Matthew Prior, Sturtevant Hamblin, and other artists who were active in the mid-19th century. This Prior-Hamblin School portrait of a child is an oil on artist panel and came from Maine circa 1840. It includes its original paint-decorated frame and had been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 2001. Estimated at $8,000-$15,000, it hammered for $26,000 ($33,280 with buyer’s premium).

Attributed to J. L. Mott Iron Works of New York, New Jersey and Chicago (1820-circa 1920), this large American Indian archer weathervane caught the right breeze with bidders. Made of molded and sheet copper, it was described as being in ‘fine condition with a fine gilded surface.’ Estimated at $15,000-$30,000, it sold for $55,000 ($70,400 with buyer’s premium).

Originally from the collection of famed New England antiques dealer Jay Turomsha, this American Parcheesi gameboard dates to the late 19th century and is exceptionally large – 22in square – and colorful, with strong design patterns in each quadrant and a central star. It sold for $18,000 ($23,040 with buyer’s premium) against a presale estimate of $2,500-$5,000.

An 1808 needlework sampler created by 12-year-old Rachel Morgan (1793-1864) had the most amazing result when contrasted with its presale estimate. Rachel Morgan was the daughter of Zacquill Morgan, the founder of Morgantown, Virginia (present-day West Virginia), who was likely the first white settler in the region. The silk-on-linen sampler had been professionally conserved and framed and was considered an early example of the desirable Monongalia County samplers. Estimated at only $400-$800, the sampler saw more than three dozen bids trade off between the floor and LiveAuctioneers buyers, landing finally at $36,000 ($46,080 with buyer’s premium).

Fine and folk art mix with Americana at New England Auctions Jan. 10

James Buttersworth, 'The Clipper Staghound,' estimated at $40,000-$60,000 at New England Auctions.

BRANFORD, Conn. — Fred Giampietro’s New England Auctions kicks off its 2024 season with a Fine Americana, Folk Art & Native American sale, an interesting 457-lot auction mixing fine and folk art with classic Americana. The sale is scheduled for Wednesday, January 10 and the catalog is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

The sale’s top-estimated lot is The Clipper Ship Staghound, a circa-1850 oil on canvas by English maritime artist James Buttersworth (1817-1894). In the painting, Staghound is charting the high seas with a smaller vessel slightly ahead on the starboard side. Built by New England shipbuilder Donald McKay, Staghound was for a time the largest merchant ship in the world, designed as an extreme clipper (which had a modified hull design to increase sailing speed at the expense of cargo capacity). The vessel would be lost in 1861 in a fire off the coast of Brazil, consumed by its load of South American coal bound for San Francisco. The painting is estimated at $40,000-$60,000.

The art-collecting market loves John Brewster (1766-1854), the deaf itinerant portraitist who painted numerous New England families, focusing often on their children. The untitled Portrait of a Young Girl is done in Brewster’s classic style, painted in half-length with the subject looking directly at the viewer. The painting is estimated at $25,000-$35,000.

Sometime in the 1920s, an unidentified American lovingly carved and painted this bird tree. Still boasting its original paint with minor touchups, it’s a classic work of folk art that is estimated at $15,000-$25,000.

Giampietro has assembled a fine selection of weathervanes for this sale. This molded-copper figural weathervane of a squirrel with acorn is attributed to weathervane builder L. W. Cushing and Sons (active from 1865 to 1933). A similar weathervane is published in the 1883 Cushing catalog. Measuring 18in in height, the auction house notes it has a “20th century historic surface.” The vane is estimated at $12,000-$18,000.

The final featured lot of the sale is a ‘Bellamy Eagle,’ so named after the master carver John Haley Bellamy (1836-1914) of New England. Bellamy spent his career carving ship mastheads and other figural displays, usually with American eagles done in high detail. This example is from Bellamy’s Don’t Give Up The Ship series, featuring a flat carved background with a three-dimensional eagle head mounted to the design. Many variations of this series exist; this original-paint version is estimated at $8,000-$12,000.

CINCINNATI — A very sophisticated and mature collection of Americana comes to market Friday, November 3 at Hindman with the debut of a two-part sale of the Donald F. Moylan, M.D. collection. The catalog for the first session is now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

Hindman notes that Moylan’s collection encompasses the “true breadth of the [Americana] category with works from as early as the late 17th century to the mid-20th century.” The first session includes 339 lots; the second session is scheduled for March 2024.

Moylan, of Birmingham, Michigan, began collecting seriously around 1971 when he married his wife, Holly.  “Holly’s best friend’s dad was a Senior Vice President at Chrysler and had a house full of antiques. Holly became interested, and then she gave me the bug,” Moylan said. Soon they were regulars at various Michigan venues such as Margaret Brusher’s famed Saline market, the Liggett show in Grosse Pointe, and the Greenfield Village show. Not long after they began planning vacations to hit the show circuit in New England, Philadelphia, and New York. These trips brought them into contact with legendary dealers such as John Walton, Marguerite Riordan and Nathan Liverant. For about 10 years, Moylan was a partner with Michigan dealer Bob Ketelhut, and ventured onto the show circuit himself.

Many objects in the collection are accompanied by great stories. A William and Mary red-stained mule chest, estimated at $3,000-$5,000, is a perfect example. Moylan recalls visiting John Walton, the legendary Connecticut dealer, and seeing the chest in the foyer. Walton, who was ill and upstairs in bed, called down to his wife, Mary, “Tell Moylan to buy that chest, and if he doesn’t, to never come here again!” Naturally, Moylan bought the chest.

During the years, the collection became Moylan’s consuming passion, buying what he liked, but collecting with discrimination. One day a close friend, Jim Rutkowski, who was visiting and surveying Moylan’s collection of refinished furniture, asked “Are you happy with your collection?” Moylan confessed, “No, not really,” and was given advice he followed for the rest of his collecting career: “Buy things with great surface, great patina, and learn to trust your judgement.” This was later reiterated by John Walton but not as gently: “Moylan, you’re the dumbest person in the world. Buy only condition, condition, condition.”

Moylan traveled widely, but out-of-the-way country auctions in Michigan were favorite haunts. “Michigan – especially the southern half, proved to be a bonanza for great finds,” said Moylan. About 60% of the collection was found in the Wolverine state, though Moylan is quick to point out that he purchased objects from 34 states and four countries.

One great find, and maybe Moylan’s favorite object in the auction, is a vernacular weathervane, estimated at $6,000-$8,000, with directionals consisting of two quintessential Midwestern objects – an apple shovel and a hayfork mounted on a turned newel post. “To me, this is not only a great piece of vernacular art, but also an object that speaks volumes about the Midwest – hard work, modesty, and pride of circumstance,” he said, adding, “The folks who made this obviously couldn’t afford a pricey copper vane, but nonetheless wanted something they could mount on their barn to make a statement.” Found in a barn in Stanton, Michigan, the piece passed through the hands of dealers Doug Wyant, Don Walter, and David Good before finding its way to Moylan’s home.

Folk paintings captured Moylan’s imagination early on, and the auction is filled with great portraits and vernacular paintings of all types. “I was drawn to these people and the artists who painted them. I was especially fascinated by the subjects’ faces, their dress, their often poorly painted or out of perspective hands. They just spoke to me,” Moylan said.

A fine example in the November 3 sale is by American artist John Brewster, Jr. (1766-1854), who was a descendant of Pilgrim leader William Brewster. Born deaf into a well-to-do New England family, he was taught to paint by a local minister. By the 1790s, he began traveling throughout New England, ultimately settling in Maine, where he leveraged his family connections and name to paint portraits of New England’s leading citizens. His art today offers an inside view of how members of the early American elite wanted themselves portrayed in art.

Portrait of Child with Hammer is an oil-on-mahogany panel signed ‘John B.’ on the reverse. Measuring 20 by 14.25in, the image is in classic Brewster fashion, with the subject peering nearly directly at the viewer. It is estimated at $10,000-$15,000.

Cigar store figures are a keystone of any Americana collection, and Moylan’s is no exception. William DeMuth & Co. was a leading manufacturer of tobacco pipes, figures, canes and other carved items in the late 19th century in Brooklyn, New York. This Goddess of Liberty figure is made from cast zinc and marked “William DeMuth & Co., New York.” Featuring its original polychrome paint, the figure stands an impressive 59in in height. The sale’s top lot, it is estimated at $15,000-$20,000.

The sale also features a number of Masonic-related items, including this dated-1909 hand-carved and painted valuables box with a secret compartment. Created and inscribed by Arthur Joseph Pennock (1862-after 1948), a Canadian who emigrated to the U.S. in 1888, the box is incised with the all-seeing eye, the flaming urn, and a Masonic cipher reading THOU SHALT NOT STEAL on the hinged lid. It carries an estimate of $8,000-$10,000.
