Doyle is honored to auction property from The Thurston Collection for the
benefit of three charitable organizations in North Carolina. This remarkable
collection was assembled by Stella Rutledge Thurston (1925-2015), who
with her husband, Doc Jones Thurston, Jr. (1908-1993), was a prominent
philanthropist in Charlotte, North Carolina. A captain of industry, Mr. Thurston
established Thurston Motor Lines, which became a leader in the motor
carrier field, and later expanded into aviation. Mrs. Thurston devoted
herself to her philanthropic work, her carefully curated collections, and her
elegant, gracious homes, where she entertained family and friends with
warm Southern hospitality.
The Thurston Collection comprises the contents of the Thurston’s home in
Charlotte’s historic Eastover neighborhood and their Grandfather Mountain
retreat. With a connoisseur’s eye, Mrs. Thurston amassed remarkable
collections of important Georgian silver, fine porcelains, European and
American paintings, and autograph documents and letters.
Property from Mrs. Thurston’s collection comprises 54 lots offered throughout
the sale. Proceeds from the sale of The Thurston Collection will benefit
Charlotte Latin School, The Thurston Arthritis Research Center at UNC,
Chapel Hill, and The Department of Nephrology and Hypertension at
UNC, Chapel Hill.

The present work depicts the
giant elm tree in an area of Philadelphia
known as Shackamaxon (today
Kensington), where William Penn
is believed to have signed his first
treaty with the Lenape people
in 1682. It derives from an engraving
by the same title from Birch’s Views
of Philadelphia, an 1800 book of
prints drawn and engraved by
William Russell Birch (1755-1844)
and his son Thomas Birch (1779-1851).
It became an iconic image of
Philadelphia.

Although Orlando Hand Bears is
believed to have worked primarily
in Sag Harbor, on the east end of
Long Island, several portraits by the
artist of Connecticut residents are
included in public collections in the
vicinity of New London and Norwich.
Little is known of Eunice and Henry
Harris. A Eunice Avery was born in
Waterford, New London, CT in 1793
and married Henry Harris. Her birth
date appears appropriate to the
approximate age of Mrs. Harris as
indicated on the partial label on the
reverse of her likeness.

Lawrence Park, Gilbert Stuart: An Illustrated Descriptive List of his Works,
with an Account of his Life by John Hill Morgan and an Appreciation
by Royal Cortissoz, New York, 1926, vol. II, p. 808, no. 904; vol. IV,
p. 569, no. 904, illus.; lists the present work as a replica by Stuart
after cat. no. 903, (which is today considered a copy after Stuart)
Texas Monthly, Aug., 1976, p. 153, listing for Valley House Gallery,
Dallas, TX, which appears to have exhibited the present work
This beautiful double portrait depicts Elizabeth de la Mazière, of Dublin,
who married Luke White in 1781. The identity of the small boy who
tenderly embraces his mother, is uncertain. Tradition held that
it depicted Mrs. White’s youngest son, Henry, who was created
Baron Annaly in 1863, but the possibility exists that it may instead
depict her second son, Samuel. A portrait described by Lawrence
Park (no. 903, p. 569, vol. II) as the original from which Stuart painted
the present work, presently in the permanent collection of the
Toledo Museum of Art, is now believed to be a copy. It appears
that the location of the original double portrait is unknown.

Jasper Francis Cropsey
American, 1823-1900
Autumn Landscape, 1879
Signed JF Cropsey and dated 1879 (ll)
Oil on canvas
12 x 20 inches
Provenance:
Newhouse Galleries, New York, inv. no. 17323
In an email dated August 17, 2016, Dr. Kenneth W. Maddox wrote of the present work,
“I suspect the scene can never be precisely identified, and may not be topographically
accurate, but it is obviously inspired by Cropsey’s recollections of the Ramapo Valley
near his summer home at Warwick. The decrepit bridge in the foreground, or variations
of it, appear in over forty-five paintings by Cropsey. William Talbot termed it ‘the
capriccio of the spindly bridge,’ a label I have adopted. Its origins came from the foreground
bridge in Church’s New England Scenery (which Cropsey felt was overrated)—a painting
which Cropsey utilized for his compositions of Summer, Lake Ontario. Cropsey incorporated
in his compositions not only Church’s foreground bridge (without the covered wagon),
the waterfall (without the mill), the church in the middle distance, the framing elm trees
on the right, and even the distant spit of land, with trees and cattle. By 1862 when
Cropsey was in England he used what was now his personal variation of the bridge for
his painting Indian Summer on the Delaware River. The title is documented.
Upon returning to America in 1863, beginning at the time he built his summer home,
Aladdin, near Warwick, the spindly bridge was used as a motif in a series of paintings
of the Ramapo River. There are a number of nineteenth-century stereoscopic views of
the bridge, but it has not been located. In your painting the artist has reduced the size
of the bridge and the scene does not portray the Ramapo River, but a waterfall. Your
painting closely relates to Autumn Days, 1874, oil on canvas on board, NCF 1582;
Autumn on the Wawayanda, (title inscribed on stretcher) 1877, oil on canvas, NCF 301;
Late Fall Afternoon, 1875, NCF 679; and Autumn in the Warwick Valley, 1883, oil on
canvas, NCF 874. Luckily, just before he died, Cropsey related in a letter dated
5 March 1900 [Collection, Newington-Cropsey Foundation] to his St. Louis dealer,
M. Alfred Newhouse, purchaser of one of his The Mellow Autumn Time compositions,
the significance to him of the Ramapo Valley bridges:
13
‘There was [sic] a number of old Rustic Bridges-built by the miners-to team their iron ore
to the smelting mills: some were very picturesque-But in the Course of Time they have
mostly passed away.’”
We are deeply grateful to Dr. Maddox, author of the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s
work published by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation, for kindly confirming the attribution
of this painting and for generously allowing us to share his comments.

Thence by descent to the present owner
Upper and Lower Chateaugay Lakes in the northern Adirondacks
by 1852 and around Raquette Lake in Hamilton County by the
early 1870s, just north of Old Forge in Herkimer County, NY,
Eagle Bay is roughly thirty-five miles from South Pond.
Considered one of America’s finest animal painters, Arthur
Fitzwilliam Tait made his first trip to the Adirondacks in 1852.
An enthusiastic sportsman, outdoorsman and amateur naturalist,
he was inspired by the rustic terrain of the Adirondacks well into
the later years of his life, spending many summers painting and
sketching there. He built a summer camp on South Pond near
Long Lake, eventually establishing a year-round home there
named Woodside. While Tait lived much of the time in the
Adirondacks, he also maintained a studio in New York City and
spent his last years in Yonkers, NY. He painted in and around
The panoramic view in the present work captures the majesty
of the Adirondack region that so appealed to the artist.
Perhaps pausing to drink in the pristine water, the three deer are
rendered with the sensitivity characteristic of Tait’s paintings of
wildlife. “America owes a heavy debt of gratitude to A. F. Tait,”
wrote the editor of Antiques in 1933, “Though born an
Englishman, he had lived in this country long enough, and
loved it deeply enough, to record pictorially distinctive aspects
of its life with penetrating sympathy and undeviating accuracy
of detail.”

Martha M. Evans has observed that by the
mid-1890s, “the open book had emerged as
the primary visual marker in Hirst’s work....
She was also beginning to receive some
critical acclaim for her emphasis on old
books as well as for her work in general.”

Samuel Gerry traveled abroad on three occasions,
the longest being a sojourn from 1837 to 1849,
during which he visited England, France, Switzerland
and Italy. These trips would have a lasting influence
on the self-taught artist, who, along with other
American painters, was inspired by the beauty of
the Swiss Alps. Gerry showed Swiss landscapes at
the 1851 exhibition of the New England Art Union,
and at the Boston Art Club in 1876. The Indiana
University Art Museum includes in its permanent
collection an Alpine landscape dating from Gerry’s
second European visit in the early 1850s.

the course of his sojourn in Japan, Moore painted seventy paintings, which he later
hung in a tightly configured grouping in his Paris home.

Olyphant’s Collection of Paintings by American Artists,

The Counterfeit Note by Daniel Huntington is a tour de force for an
artist today remembered chiefly for his portraits. One of two genre
scenes completed by Daniel Huntington during a European sojourn
in 1857-58, it is an opulent picture, so rich in visual detail that it
is a feast for the eyes. The variety shop is stocked floor to ceiling
with inventory: baskets and buckets, brushes and cookware, straw
hats and bright shawls hanging on rods up to the rafters, and bolts
of vivid fabrics stacked neatly on shelves. Huntington must have
delighted in the diversity of colors and textures as much as the challenge
presented by so complex a composition. And in executing the
painting, whether consciously or unconsciously, he incorporated
elements from work he must have seen while traveling abroad.
A young woman at the rear of the shop, her back to the viewer,
is softly illuminated by a filtered light evocative of Vermeer. The
polished tin cookware and basket of fresh flowers recall Dutch still
life, and the scene itself is Hogarthian.
When The Counterfeit Note was exhibited for the third time in 1862,
at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Huntington indicated
that the work was for sale. By 1867, in his extensive discussion of
the work in Book of the Artists: American Artist-Life, Henry Tuckerman
wrote that it was owned by R. M. Olyphant (a noted collector of
American paintings). A decade later, Olyphant’s collection was sold
by Somerville Art Gallery, and the work was acquired by J.F. Swift.
From that moment on, the painting disappeared from the public eye,
but eventually was acquired by Henry Richards McLane, whose wife,
Ann Huntington McLane was a cousin of Daniel Huntington. It has
been owned by members of the McLane family ever since.
Tuckerman praised The Counterfeit Note and described it at length,
writing that it “was commended at the Royal Academy Exhibition.
The figures are of cabinet size; the interior of an English shop, with its
assortment of dry goods, is painted with the finish and well-contrasted
color that distinguish the best Flemish still-life execution; in the
background, through an open door, we have a glimpse of the cozy
‘parlor behind the shop,’ so characteristic of the old-fashioned style
of convenient ‘variety store;’ at an angle between the two stands
a foreign-looking man, in dress, expression, and air, typical of the
roguish adventurer; he has evidently made a purchase and tendered
a large bank-note in payment; this note the old shop-keeper is
inspecting behind the counter, while his shrewd wife whispers her
suspicions in his ear, and points significantly over her shoulder at
the strange customer, who, with assumed indifference but cunning
glances, awaits the result. So far, the picture, while remarkable for
execution and expression, only tells a story of common life and rascality;

but to redeem this, with consummate taste, the artist has thrown rays
of true poetry athwart the material scene; outside the counter sits a
beautiful girl, dressed with a taste so appropriate, that we should think
her costume alone would win scores of admirers; unconscious of what
is going on she is ostensibly occupied in examining the quality of a
fabric before her; but her air of refinement, the pure intellectuality
of her countenance, and a certain superiority to the people and the
scene around her, impress the spectator the more from the contrast;
a lovely and tasteful English girl, she throws a beautiful charm over
the whole; a vase of fresh flowers, exquisitively [sic] painted, is the
only object that seems in affinity with her, and the two give a poetic
interest to the clever delineation of the entire scene, which, in color,
finish, and expression, is an evidence of facility rare in pictorial art.”
Of course, Tuckerman’s lavish description of the “tasteful English
girl” prompts the question: is she indeed a symbol of virtue as
contrasted to the criminal attempting to pass a counterfeit bill? Or
is she, as suggested by Stephen Mihm, an accomplice intended to
distract the dubious shopkeepers? He writes “Critics had different
interpretations of the work when it was unveiled in the 1850s, but they
generally agreed on one thing: the genteel bespectacled man with
the walking cane (itself a totem of respectability) was trying to pass
a counterfeit note. The shover, equal parts gentleman and confidence
man, looks out of the corner of his eyes, a faint smile playing on his
lips. As for the well-dressed woman seated in front, she too may be
in on the fraud: note that her glove has been dropped in a most
unladylike fashion on the floor. In the subtle vocabulary of genre
painting, as among the appearance-obsessed middle classes, such
details mattered. Perhaps she is his accomplice, trying to distract
the storekeeper. An opening gambit like this helped set the stage
for the opening act in this theatre of exchange: the passing of the
counterfeit note.” Mihm based his observations upon an engraving
of The Counterfeit Note, reproduced as fig. 20 in his text (Courtesy
Newberry Library), mentioning that Huntington’s painting “of the
same name, . . . has disappeared.”
The engraving itself was published in The London Illustrated Times
in 1859. The dropped glove in the engraving to which Stephen
Mihm refers does not appear in the painting (it replaces the dog
seen in the foreground of Huntington’s composition), which leaves
the story line all the more ambiguous. Although this tantalizing
question can likely never be resolved, The Counterfeit Note is a
masterpiece, a vibrant work informed with sympathy and humor,
that has been missing from the public eye since 1877.

Portrait of Charles Schieren, Mayor of Brooklyn, 1902

This unsigned and unfinished portrait of
Charles Schieren relates closely to one
described but not reproduced in A Flight with
Fame: The Life and Art of Frederick MacMonnies,
p. 51. Schieren “is presented full-length, with
three quarter view to the right. MacMonnies
posed the Mayor on a platform, with glass
of water on a table and the U.S. flag draped
behind, as if he were about to make a speech.
However, because the former Mayor never
gave his friend MacMonnies sufficient time
at sittings, the portrait remained unfinished.”
The only element missing in the present work
is the glass of water, which may conceivably
have been painted out by the artist.
80
The painting was begun in 1902, the same year
that Schieren attended a dinner at the Montauk
Club in Brooklyn in honor of the sculptor.
Around the same time, MacMonnies took
a ten year lease on a studio in Gramercy Park,
where he intended to devote himself to
painting portraits, in a departure from the
Beaux Arts sculpture that had established
his reputation. A member of the board of
trustees of the Brooklyn Museum, Schieren
later sat to Irving Ramsay Wiles for another
portrait. That work, completed in 1911, shows
a seated, older subject, less vibrant than the
individual depicted in the present work. It is
part of the collection of Borough Hall, Brooklyn.

Cox, 1883-1919, Kent University Press, 1995, p. 179
In 1917, Kenyon Cox wrote to his son, Allyn, “Is this light-minded enough for you?
[Sketch] The Education of Cupid. Venus teaching cupid how to shoot. Target hung
on terminal statue with a pure Cornish landscape background, the extreme distance
being Platt’s riverview. Such is to be my next picture. I’ve been working at the sketch
all the time your mother was in Boston. There’s such a bully chance in it for serious
study of action that even your mother doesn’t object to the playfulness of the motive.
To me it is a kind of relief from the horrid seriousness of reality just now. It’s only in
pleasant and peaceful times that one wants to be ultra-serious in art. Caroline [the
artist’s daughter] is going to pose for Venus — white and gorgeous piece of brilliant
rose stuff, a brand new material, which is the most glittery and amazing thing you
can imagine.” [Kenyon Cox and Howard Wayne Morgan, An Artist of the American
Renaissance: The Letters of Kenyon Cox, 1883-1919, Kent University Press, 1995, p. 179 ]
When exhibited in the 1917 Winter Exhibition at the National Academy of Design,
The Education of Cupid was praised by a reviewer from American Art News for being
“bright and light-spirited.” A critic for The Sun wrote of the work more extensively,
“Mr. Cox’s effort is The Education of Cupid, in which every touch is worked out with
clear, intellectual and perhaps cold precision. Venus, according to Mr. Cox, is an
American lady, but Cupid, properly enough, bears a strong facial resemblance to
the heroines of Sir Peter Lely, who, if history be credited, did indeed live in a time of
instructed Cupids.”
Painted as a respite from the horrors of a world at war, The Education of Cupid
remained in Cox’s family until now; it continues to delight today.

Rafaella Ottiano was an Italian-born stage and
movie actress, who specialized in playing sinister
roles. A portrait of her by Tucker, Head of
Raphaella Ottiano, 1925, 24 x 20 inches, is
number 38 in the catalogue for a memorial
exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum.
It was lent by Mrs. Allen Tucker. Despite a minor
discrepancy in dimensions, it is likely the
present work. Here, Tucker depicts his subject
as a regal figure in profile, with a fillet around
her brow. The Whitney exhibition was circulated
by the American Federation of arts, and it
is possible that the Cleveland Museum may
simply have been a venue for that show.

Doyle New York reserves the right, at our complete
discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or
participation in any auction and to reject any bid,
as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any
bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the
auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer
has the right at his absolute and sole discretion
to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may
decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, and to
combine any two or more lots. In the event of
error or dispute between bidders, or in the event
of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid,
whether during or after the sale, the auctioneer
has final discretion to determine the successful
bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale,
or to reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any
dispute arises after the sale, the Doyle New York
sale record shall be conclusive.
Doyle New York reserves the right to withdraw
any lot at any time prior to the commencement
of bidding for such lot and shall have no liability
whatsoever for such withdrawal.
4. RESERVES
If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is
below the value of the lot offered, the auctioneer
may reject that bid and withdraw the lot from sale;
and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he
decides that any advance thereafter is insufficient,
he may reject that advance.
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject
to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum
price below which such lot will not be sold.
No reserve will exceed the low estimate of the lot.
Reserves are agreed upon with the consignor or,
in the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion
of Doyle New York.
Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer,
all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue.
Lots marked C preceding the estimate are consigned
and reserved. Those marked • are reserved property
in which Doyle New York has an interest.
Doyle New York on occasion makes loans or
advances funds to consignors.
The auctioneer may implement the reserve by
opening bidding on any lot by placing a bid on
behalf of the seller. The auctioneer will not specifically
identify bids placed on behalf of the seller.
The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the
seller, up to the amount of the reserve, by placing
successive or consecutive bids for a lot or by placing
bids in response to other bidders. Unless otherwise
noted in the catalogue or by an announcement
at the auction, Doyle New York acts as agent on
behalf of the seller and does not permit the seller
to bid on his or her
own property.
5. ESTIMATES
Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high
estimate representing that range which, in the
opinion of Doyle New York, represents a fair and
probable auction value. When possible, the estimate
is based on previous auction records of comparable
property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances.
The estimates are often determined several months
before a sale and are therefore subject to change
upon further research of the property, or to reflect
market conditions or currency fluctuations.
Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized
for items can fall below or above this range. An
estimate of the selling price should not be relied
on as a statement that this is the price at which

The guarantee is made only to the original purchaser
of record at the auction, and only the registered
bidder for the lot at the auction will be considered
as the original purchaser. The buyer must give
written notice of claim within five years from the
date of the auction. Doyle New York may require,
at its option, to have the purchaser obtain at the
purchaser’s expense the opinion of two recognized
experts (approved by Doyle New York) in the field
relating to the item in question, before Doyle New
York determines whether to rescind a sale under
the above warranty. Upon request, Doyle New York
will provide the purchaser with the names of
acceptable experts.
3. NON-ASSIGNABILITY
The benefits of this warranty are not assignable and
shall be applicable only to the original purchaser
of record (i.e., the registered bidder) and not to
any subsequent owners (including, without limitation,
donees, heirs, successors, beneficiaries or assigns)
who have, or may acquire, an interest in any
purchased property. The original buyer must
have remained the owner of the lot without disposing
of any interest in it to any third party.
4. SOLE REMEDY
The purchaser agrees that in the case of a breach
of warranty under these Terms of Guarantee, he shall
have no remedy other than rescission of the sale
and the refund of the original purchase price paid.
The original purchase price paid is defined as the
amount of the successful bid price, plus the buyer’s
premium. No rescission and refund will be made
unless the item is returned to Doyle New York
at 175 East 87th Street, New York, NY 10128, in the
same condition as at the time of sale. The remedy
of rescission and refund is exclusive and the
purchaser waives any other remedy which may be
otherwise available in law or equity. Doyle New
York shall not be liable for any special, consequential
or incidental damages incurred or claimed including,
without limitation, loss of profits or for interest.
5. EXCLUSIONS
This warranty does not apply to:
i. authorship of any paintings, drawings or sculpture
created prior to 1870, unless the lot is determined
to be a counterfeit which has a value at the date
of the claim for rescission which is materially
less than the purchase price paid for the lot; or
ii. any catalogue description where it was specifically
mentioned that there is a conflict of specialist
opinion on the authorship of a lot; or
iii. authorship which on the date of sale was in
accordance with the then generally accepted
opinion of scholars and specialists, despite the
subsequent discovery of new information, whether
historical or physical, concerning the artist
or craftsman, his students, school, workshop or
followers; or
iv. the identification of periods or dates of execution
which may be proven inaccurate by means of
scientific processes not generally accepted for use
until after publication of the catalogue, or which
were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use
at the time of publication of the catalogue.
The term counterfeit is defined as a modern fake
or forgery, made less than fifty years ago, and made
with the intent to deceive. The authenticity of
signatures, monograms, initials or other similar
indications of authorship is expressly excluded
as a controlling factor in determining whether a
work is a counterfeit under the meaning of this
Terms of Warranty.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY
As stated in paragraph 2 of the Conditions of Sale,
neither Doyle New York nor its consignor makes
any express or implied representations or warranties
whatsoever concerning any property in the
catalogue, including without limitation, any warranty
of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
except as specifically and expressly provided in
these Terms of Guarantee.
IV
INFORMATION ON SALES AND USE
TAX RELATED TO PURCHASES AT AUCTION
To better assist our clients, we have prepared the
following information on Sales and Use Tax related
to property purchased at auction.
A M E R I C A N PA I N T I N G S ,
F U R N I T U R E & D E C O R AT I V E A R T S
WHY DOYLE NEW YORK
COLLECTS SALES TAX
Virtually all State Sales Tax Laws require a
corporation to register with the State’s Tax
Authorities and collect and remit sales tax if the
corporation maintains a presence within the
state, such as offices. In the states that impose
sales tax, Tax Laws require an auction house,
with a presence in the state, to register as a sales
tax collector, and remit sales taxcollected to the
state. New York sales tax is charged on the hammer
price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable
charges on any property picked up or delivered
in New York, regardless of the state or country in
which the purchaser resides or does business.
WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK
COLLECTS SALES TAX
Doyle New York is currently registered to collect
sales tax in the following states: New York and
the District of Columbia.
For any property collected or received by the
purchaser in New York City, such property is
subject to sales tax at the existing New York State
and City rate of 8.875%.
WHERE DOYLE NEW YORK IS NOT
REQUIRED TO COLLECT SALES TAX
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales
tax on property delivered to states other than
those listed above. If the property is delivered to
a state where Doyle New York is not required to
collect sales tax, it is the responsibility of the
purchaser to self-assess any sales or use tax and
remit it to taxing authorities in that state.
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales
tax for property delivered to the purchaser outside
of the United States.
RESTORATION AND
OTHER SERVICES
Regardless of where the property is subsequently
transported, if any framing or restoration services
are performed in New York, it is considered to
be a delivery of the property to the purchaser in
New York, and Doyle New York will be required to
collect the 8.875% New York sales tax.
CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS
Most states that impose sales taxes allow for
specified exemptions to the tax. For example, a
registered re-seller such as a registered art dealer
may purchase without incurring a tax liability, and
Doyle New York is not required to collect sales tax
from such re-seller. The art dealer, when re-selling
the property, may be required to charge sales
tax to its client, or the client may be required to
self-assess sales or use tax upon acquiring the property.
If a not-for-profit or charitable organization is selling
property through Doyle New York, it may be sold
as a tax exempted purchase. The not-for-profit
seller must be registered with the New York
Department of Taxation and Finance as an exempt
organization and the property must be picked up
or delivered in New York. However, a compensating
use tax is due from the buyer if any such lot is shipped
to any of the states where Doyle New York maintains
offices. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain
and pay all taxes due. Buyers claiming exemption
from sales tax must have the appropriate
documentation on file with Doyle New York prior
to the release of the property.
LOCAL TAX ADVISORS
As sales tax laws vary from state to state, Doyle
New York recommends that clients with questions
regarding the application of sales or use taxes to
property purchased at auction seek tax advice
form their local tax advisors.
If the property is delivered into any of the states in
which Doyle New York is registered, Doyle New York
is required by law to collect and remit the appropriate
sales tax in effect in the state where the property
is delivered.
Invitation to Consign
Property collected from Doyle New York premises
by common carriers on behalf of the purchaser for
delivery to the purchaser at his address outside
of New York is not subject to New York Sales Tax.
If it is delivered by the common carrier to any of
the states where Doyle New York is required to
collect sales tax, applicable tax will be added to
the purchase price.

BUYING AT DOYLE
Since 1963, Doyle New York has built a worldwide
reputation for expertise, integrity and service. In our
New York salesrooms, we hold approximately forty
auctions annually featuring fine art, jewelry, furniture,
decorative arts, books, prints, couture and a variety
of other categories. Our global audience of buyers
and sellers know the quality of our sales and
appreciate our standard of service. If you are new
to the auction process, please take a moment to
review the following information.
The following will help in understanding the auction
buying process. All bidders should read the
Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee in
this catalogue, as well as the Glossary or any other
notices. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound
by the Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee,
as amended by oral announcements or posted
notices, which together form the sale contract
between the successful bidder (purchaser),
Doyle New York and the seller (consignor) of the lot.
BEFORE YOU BID
Doyle New York produces both printed and Internet
auction catalogues that contain descriptions of
the property being offered and the presale
estimates and are available prior to the sale date.
Our free Internet catalogues, available at Doyle.com,
also provide illustrations, direct communication
with our specialists, and the ability to leave online
absentee bids and track lots. The catalogues will
help familiarize you with property being offered
at the designated auction.
In addition, Doyle.com offers a free Internet
Personal Shopper that allows collectors to enter
keywords of objects they are seeking. As each
Internet auction catalogue is posted online, the
collector is notified by email of any matches.
A prospective buyer must complete and sign a
registration form and provide identification before
bidding. We may require the production of bank
or other financial references.
PROVENANCE
In certain circumstances, Doyle New York may
print in the catalogue the history of ownership
of a work of art if such information contributes
to scholarship or is otherwise well known and
assists in distinguishing the work of art. However,
the identity of the seller or previous owners may
not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example,
such information may be excluded to accommodate
a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the
identity of prior owners is unknown given the age
of the work of art.
SPECIALIST’S ADVICE
Prospective bidders may be interested in
specific information not included in the catalogue
description of a lot. For additional information
please contact either a Doyle New York specialist
or Doyle New York’s Client Services Department.
You may also request a condition report from the
specialist in charge.
BIDDING AT AUCTION
Auctions are open to the public without any admission
fee or obligation to bid. Pre-auction viewings are
open to the public free of charge. Doyle New York’s
specialists are available to give advice and condition
reports at viewings or by appointment. The auctioneer
introduces the objects for sale - known as “lots” in numerical order as listed in the catalogue.
The auctioneer accepts bids from those present
in the salesroom, from telephone bidders, from
Internet bidders or by absentee written bids left
with Doyle New York in advance of the auction.
LIVE BIDDING
The most exciting way to participate at auction is the
traditional method of bidding live in the salesroom
with an auction paddle. Buyers who would like to bid
may register for a paddle on the day of the sale upon
entering the salesroom at least 30 minutes before
the sale. The paddle is numbered so as to identify
you to the auctioneer. To register, you will need a form
of identification such as a driver’s license or credit
card. If you are a first-time bidder, you will also be
asked for your address, phone number and signature
and a bank reference in order to create your account.
To avoid any delay in the release of purchases,
please pre-arrange check or credit approval through
Doyle New York’s Credit Department at 212-427-4141
ext. 205. If you are bidding for someone else, you will
need to provide a letter from that person authorizing
you to bid on that person’s behalf. Issuance of a
bid paddle is in Doyle New York’s sole discretion.
Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer
asks for higher bids, in increments determined by
the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your
paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you.
As a courtesy to bidders, a currency board may be
operated. It displays the lot number and current bid
in both U.S. dollars and foreign currency. Exchange
rates are approximations based on recent exchange
rate information and should not be relied upon as
a precise invoice amount. Doyle New York assumes
no responsibility for any error or omission in foreign
or United States currency amounts shown.
TELEPHONE BIDDING
Clients unable to attend the sale may still participate
live by bidding on the telephone with a trained staff
member on the auction floor. The Telephone Bid Forms
are available on our Web site, in our printed catalogue,
and through our Client Services Department. Please
contact the Bid Department prior to the sale to make
arrangements or to answer any questions you may
have. Telephone bids are accepted only at Doyle
New York’s discretion and at the caller’s risk. Calls
may also be recorded at Doyle New York’s discretion.
By bidding on the telephone, prospective buyers
consent thereto. Telephone bids cannot be accepted
for lot estimated below $1,000. Arrangements must
be confirmed with the Bid Department at least
24 hours prior to the auction at 212-427-4141 ext. 242.
Arrangements to bid in languages other than
English must be made well in advance of the sale
date. Doyle New York offers all absentee and
telephone bidding services as a convenience to
our clients but will not be responsible for errors
or failures to execute bids.
ABSENTEE BIDDING
For buyers unable to participate live in the salesroom
or on the telephone, Doyle offers the option of
Absentee Bids. Absentee Bids work exactly as if
the bidder were in the salesroom bidding up to a
predetermined price limit, except that the price
limit is given confidentially to Doyle ahead of time.
Absentee Bid Forms are available on our Web site,
in our printed catalogues, and through our Client
Services Department. Return the completed Absentee
Bid Form to Doyle New York either by mail or by
fax. When the lot that you are interested in comes
up for sale, a Doyle New York representative will
execute the bid on your behalf, making every effort
to purchase the item for as little as possible and
never exceeding your limit. The auctioneer may
execute absentee bids directly from the rostrum,
identifying these as “absentee bids,” “book bids,”
or “order bids.” This service is free and confidential.
For detailed instructions and information, please
see the Doyle New York Absentee Bid Form at the
back of this catalogue or on our Web site. In the
event that identical bids are submitted, the earliest
will take precedence.
INTERNET BIDDING
Buyers may also conveniently leave bids on our
Web site through our Internet catalogues. These bids
are executed at the auction in the same fashion
as an Absentee Bid.
LIVE INTERNET BIDDING
BidLive! with a click of your mouse! Bidders from
around the world now can experience the excitement
of bidding live at Doyle New York on their computers.
Simply sign in at Doyle.com, then register to bid
live in real time in an upcoming sale. It couldn’t be

No increased Buyer’s Premium! Purchases made
on BidLive! are subject to the identical buyer’s
premium as purchases made through the saleroom
bids, telephone bids and absentee bids. There are
no additional fees!
Bid throughout the sale! With BidLive! you may log
in during the sale to bid on specific lots, or leave the
bidding console open all day on your computer.
Total convenience for a global clientele! In the
past, foreign bidders often required the assistance
of telephone clerks who spoke Spanish, German,
French, Mandarin etc., in order to execute their bids.
With BidLive’s clear numeric display, foreign buyers
need no longer rely on bilingual telephone clerks
to place their bids.
MAC USERS: Please use Firefox browser (download).
BidLive!, powered by Invaluable, does not support
iPhone or iPad at this time.
Doyle New York does not guarantee that live Internet
bidding will be uninterrupted or without error, or
that Internet bids will be received.

Successful absentee bidders will be notified
after the sale. Absentee bidders will receive
a list of sale results if they enclose a stamped
self-addressed envelope with their Absentee Bid
Form. Printed lists of auction prices are available
immediately after the sale on our Web site and at
our galleries. While invoices are sent out by mail
after the auction, we do not accept responsibility
for notifying you of the result of your bids. Buyers
are requested to contact us by telephone or in
person as soon as possible after the sale to
obtain details of the outcome of their bids to
avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.
AFTER THE AUCTION
If your bid is successful, you can go directly to
Purchaser Accounting to make payment
arrangements. Otherwise, your invoice will be
mailed to you. The final price is determined by
adding the buyer’s premium to the hammer price
on a per-lot basis. Sales tax, where applicable,
will be charged on the entire amount. Payment is
due in full immediately after the sale. However,
under certain circumstances, and generally with
the seller’s agreement, Doyle New York may offer
buyers it deems creditworthy the option of an
extended payment plan. Credit terms should be
arranged prior to the sale. Please contact the
Credit Department for information on credit
arrangements for a particular lot.
METHODS OF PAYMENT
Accepted forms of payment include bank wire
transfers, cash (in US currency up to $5,000),
traveler’s check (in US currency up to $5,000),
money orders (in US currency up to $5,000),
or personal check made payable in US dollars
drawn on a US bank, unless other arrangements
are made with Purchaser Accounts. It is Doyle
New York’s policy to request any new clients or
purchasers preferring to make a cash payment
to provide: verification of identity (by providing
some form of government issued identification
containing a photograph, such as a passport,
identity card, or driver’s license), confirmation
of permanent address and identification of the
source of the funds. Invoices greater than $5,000
require payment by certified check, bank check
or wire transfer. Credit cards are not accepted for
payment of auction purchases.
To pay for a purchase by check, please see our
cashier and fill out a Check Acceptance Account
form. Until approved, you will not be permitted
to remove purchases before the check has
cleared. To avoid delivery delays, prospective
buyers are encouraged to supply bank or other
suitable references before the auction. Check
acceptance privileges are reviewed from time to
time by Doyle New York and may be granted or
withdrawn at our sole discretion. Checks should
be made payable to Doyle New York. Note that
checks drawn on foreign banks may be accepted
with the approval of the Credit Department, may
not be accepted for values under $500, and that
there is a $100 minimum collection charge on
checks drawn on foreign banks located outside
the U.S. Certified checks, banker’s drafts and
cashier’s checks are accepted at Doyle New York’s
discretion provided they are issued by a reputable financial institution governed by anti-money
laundering laws. Instruments not meeting these
requirements will be treatedas “cash equivalents”
and subject to theconstraints noted above.
Please direct inquiries regarding wire transfer
or ACH credit to Steven L. Kuzio, 212.427.4141
ext. 202, [email protected]
BUYER’S PREMIUM
The invoice will include the successful hammer
price of the item and the buyer’s premium.
Doyle New York charges a premium to the buyer
on the final bid price of each lot sold at the
following rates: 25% on the first $200,000 of
the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion
of the hammer price from $200,001 through
$3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. Applicable sales
tax will also be added to the final total. New York
Sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s
premium and any other applicable charges on
any property picked up or delivered in New York
State, regardless of the state or country in which
the purchaser resides or does business. Please
refer to “Information on Sales and Use Tax Related
to Purchases at Auction” in the back of the
catalogue. All sales are final and subject to the
Conditions of Sale.
PICK-UPS
Once your payment has been cleared, property
may be released. Unless otherwise agreed by
Doyle New York, auction purchases should be
paid for and picked up at Doyle New York within
48 hours of the auction. Items left beyond the
48 hours may be subject to a storage fee (see
below). Please note that the hours for removal
of property are Monday through Friday from
8:15am until 4:45pm, except on auction days
during which only purchases made that day may
be picked up. As a courtesy to purchasers who
come to Doyle New York to pick up property,
Doyle New York will assist in the packing of lots,
although Doyle New York may, in the case of
fragile articles, choose not to pack or otherwise
handle a purchase. Doyle New York will not
be responsible or liable for damage to glass
covering paintings, drawings or other works, or
damage to frames, regardless of cause.
STORAGE FEES
Pursuant to section 8 of our Conditions of Sale,
we request that successful buyers collect their
property within two business days following the
sale. Should the property (except jewelry, coins,
stamps or as announced by the auctioneer)
remain on our premises for more than 31 days
following a sale it will be transferred to an
independent warehouse on the buyer’s behalf at
the purchaser’s risk and subject to storage charges at the purchaser’s expense. As transferred
property will no longer be in Doyle New York’s
custody or care, Doyle New York will not be
able to assist you with pick-up or shipping
arrangements. To avoid storage charges, please
arrange for the removal of your purchases as
soon as possible.
Please Note: Transfer to a Storage facility of
uncollected purchases past the 31-day grace
period will constitute delivery of the property to
the buyer in New York State. As a result, buyer
will be liable to pay New York State Sales Tax if
not tax-exempt.
The charges are payable to an outside Storage
Company and therefore cannot be waived by
Doyle New York. We encourage all buyers to
collect purchased property within two business
days following the sale.
In order to collect property from Yorkville Van and
Storage, buyers must present a copy of a paid
invoice bearing a Yorkville warehouse release
stamp. This warehouse release stamp can only
be obtained from the cashier at Doyle New York’s
main reception desk located at 175 East 87th St
in Manhattan.
SHIPPING
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
Upon request, our Client Services Department
will provide a list of shippers who deliver to
destinations within the United States and
overseas. Kindly disregard the sales tax if an
I.C.C. licensed shipper will ship your purchases
anywhere outside the state of New York or the
District of Columbia.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
Certain property sold at auction, for example,
items made of or incorporating plant or animal
materials such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone,
tortoise shell, mother-of-pearl, etc., irrespective
of age or value, may require a license or certificate
prior to exportation and additional licenses or
certificates upon importation to another country.
Doyle New York suggests that buyers check on
their government wildlife import requirements
prior to placing a bid. Although licenses can be
obtained to export some types of endangered
species, other types may not be exported at all, and
other types may not be resold in the United States.
VII
AUCTION SCHEDULE
SELLING AT DOYLE
At Doyle New York, we commit our expertise,
experience, market knowledge and global
outreach to every sale. The numerous auction
records set in our salesrooms are testimony to the
advantages of selling property at Doyle. To make
the auction process as easy and convenient as
possible, our team of dedicated professionals
will guide you through the entire appraisal and
auction procedure. As part of our commitment
to providing comprehensive auction services to
collectors, institutions and estates, Doyle New
York offers several options to those seeking to
sell their property: consignment of the objects to
auction at Doyle, outright sale of the objects to
Doyle, a combination of both, or referrals to
other organizations.
OBTAINING AN APPRAISAL
The first step in selling property at auction is to
obtain a free informal appraisal of the item. The
appraisal includes an estimated value, which is
the specialist’s best judgement as to what the
object will sell for at auction. The figure is based
upon the specialist’s expertise and knowledge
of what similar items are fetching in the current
auction market.
There are various ways to obtain appraisals.
Information and appointments to view property
in your home or in the gallery can be arranged
through our Scheduling Department, an appropriate
Specialist Department, or a Doyle New York
Regional Representative. Once your property has
been evaluated, Doyle New York representatives
can then help you determine how to proceed with
the auction process. They will provide information
regarding sellers’ commission rates and other
charges, auction timetable, shipping and any other
further services you may require.
SUBMITTING PHOTOGRAPHS
We welcome photographs of property to evaluate
for possible auction if the property is not portable,
or if you are not able to visit our galleries. If you
have a large collection, are presentative selection
of photographs is acceptable. Please bring in the
photographs or email photos of your objects to
the Scheduling Department. You may also mail
photographs to the Scheduling Department, or
call them at 212-427-4141, ext. 260, to discuss
your property and perhaps arrange an appointment
with a specialist. Please be sure to include the
dimensions, artist’s signature or maker’s mark,
medium, physical condition, and any other relevant
information. Our specialists will provide a free
preliminary auction estimate subject to a final
estimate upon first hand inspection.

REGIONAL APPRAISAL DAYS
Doyle New York’s Regional Representatives host
free appraisal days on a regular basis throughout
Connecticut, the metropolitan Washington, DC
area, as well as in other areas throughout the
United States. These popular events provide ease
and convenience for collectors outside of New York
who wish to sell their property at Doyle. At these
events, we accept property for upcoming auctions
in our New York salesrooms through both
consignment and outright purchase.
SELLING YOUR PROPERTY
CONSIGNING TO AUCTION
In consigning property to auction, the seller retains
ownership until the successful sale of the item at
auction. When property is consigned to Doyle for
auction, we devote the expertise of our specialists
and professional staff to achieving outstanding
prices at auction.
THE CONSIGNMENT CONTRACT
When you consign property to Doyle New York
you will receive two copies of our Consignment
Agreement, the legal document delineating the
terms of sale. One copy should be initialed, signed
and returned; the other kept for your records.
Once the property is received in our gallery, you
will be sent a Contract Schedule listing the property,
the planned sale dates, the estimated price ranges,
and the reserves will be listed, along with the
agreed upon seller’s commission and other
related fees.
RESERVE PRICE
Before an item is offered at auction, the consignor
and Doyle New York may agree on a reserve price,
a confidential minimum selling price. Unless a
specific reserve is arranged, a discretionary reserve
is fixed at fifty percent of the low estimate. If the
consignor designates a reserve on a lot, and it
remains unsold, there will be a buy-in fee charged
on the reserve price.
OUTRIGHT SALE TO DOYLE
Outright purchase of property by Doyle allows the
seller the advantage and convenience of immediate
payment. Many sellers prefer this method of sale
rather than consigning their property to auction
and awaiting payment after the successful sale of
the items. For further information please contact
our Scheduling Department.
AFTER THE AUCTION
RESULTS OF SALE
You may track realized prices of your consigned
property in real time and view all sales results
online at Doyle.com. A preliminary settlement
statement itemizing the hammer prices, commissions
and fees is mailed to the consignor after the
auction. You may also call us at 212-427-2730 for
prices realized.
PAYMENT TO CONSIGNORS
Payment to consignors is mailed five weeks after
the date of the sale, together with a final settlement
statement. The amount of payment is the hammer
price of each lot successfully sold, less the
commission and any other fees.

Doyle New York offers a full range of expert
