Lot 320		Artist Unkown, Hudson River School Movement, Mid-19th Century. Fine, mid 19th century oil on paper board, unsigned. The Hudson River School was and American art movement in the middle 1800s that embodied a group of landscape painters whose aesthetic vision was influenced by romanticism. The paintings for which the movement is named depict the Hudson River Valley and the surrounding area, including the Catskill, Adirondack, and White Mountains. This is a classic example of the period, almost a mythic interpretation of the natural beauty found in the landscape of the Hudson River Valley - fishermen and boat men dwarfed by the all consuming glory of the country. Work is 12 x 16¾ and framed handsomely in gilt wood frame having some chips and dings given the age. Quite fine. Estimate Value $800 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $600

Lot 336		In the Style of Edward Hopper -- Original Watercolor. Gas Pumps Contemporary watercolor in the style of the much-beloved American painter, Edward Hopper. In 1940, Hopper painted "Gas" a work of great power and immensely popular, given the iconic status of automobiles in America. An atmospheric portrait of a Mobil Gas Station and the lonely, isolated attendant on an anonymous street in an anonymous city.

Measuring 20 x 15" and newly framed to 22½ x 27½", this watercolor and gouache on paper boasts immense appeal and is in excellent condition.

Still Life and the Artist Very much of the early 19th Century Dutch realism school comes this magnificent oil-on-wood panel painting.

Lot 354		Original Watercolor, Gouache and Ink Illustration, 1896 Epsom Derby Winner, "Persimmon," Owned by Prince of Wales. A wonderful original illustrated work by C. Whitfield of the finish of the 1896 Epsom Derby which by all accounts one of the most exciting in its history. The horse owned by then Prince of Wales, Edward VII, Persimmon won by a neck over Mr. L de Rothschild's horse, St. Frusquin. Several C. Whitfields are recorded as artists in the late 19th Century and early 20th so we are not certain which one painted this work. The illustration is quite fine, with details of every spectator dressed in their finery and the drama of the horses crossing the finish line at full gallop. Wonderfully rendered. On board and measures 7½ x 9". Framed beautifully in gilt wood to 14½ x 16½". Very Fine condition a must for collectors of horse racing and 19th century British art.

Lot 361		Seltzer, O. C. -- Legendary Artist of the Frontier and Old West -- "Portrait of a Native American" (1877-1957) Considered a transition painter between those of the Old West such as Frederic Remington and Charles Russell to a later generation that painted only myth and imaginative work. Born and raised in Copenhagen, after his studies he and his mother emigrated to Great Falls, Montana. He worked as a cowboy and then as a machinist and locomotive repairman for the Great Northern Railway, often sketching the landscape in his spare time. In Great Falls, where he lived the remainder of his life, he met Charles Russell, and the two became close friends. Russell critiqued his art and gave him a lot of advice, and some critics think that much of Seltzer's work resembles Russell's. Offered is Portrait of a Native American a near mythic portrait suffused with great dignity and respect. We love how Seltzer allows the upper empty space to draw focus on the portrait. Charles Russell, while the more famous of the two Western artists,said that painting with Seltzer had greatly influenced his art in terms of color and values.
