“During the early years of his career as an artist, Bradford made six
summer visits to the coast of Labrador, finding there a steady flow of
icebergs and the primitive housing of its native inhabitants. He would
later undertake an even bolder venture in the steam-powered vessel
Panther, which carried two photographers who took some of the
earliest photographs of the Arctic scene.”

William Bradford (American, 1823-1892)
From the start, the expedition was troubled as rival factions engaged,
presumably over the conduct of the ship’s commander, Charles
Francis Hall, who died from arsenic poison shortly after the base
was established. With his death, the remainder of the crew and the
scientific party abandoned the purpose of the voyage and departed
from the Arctic without completing its mission.”

N.B. We wish to thank Virginia Couse Leavitt for her assistance with cataloguing the lot. The work will be included in her forthcoming catalogue
raisonné on the artist.
The Couse-designed frame is significant to the present work, and reflects the Arts and Crafts philosophy of beautiful utility. Though many of the
Taos school artists chose hand-carved frames for their works, Couse is one of the few that worked closely with framemakers to create distinctive
motifs and finishes “mated” for particular paintings. Couse likely derived his highly-stylized motifs from Southwestern Indian pottery and other
artifacts that he collected.1 He was also known to finish his frames with earth tones, “often adding washes of color through the interstices of
the carving to bring the frame into closer harmony with the particular lighting in the painted image.”2 The frame on the present work closely
resembles one designed by Couse for “Indian Drinking from a Lake,” c. 1911-1925, in the Cincinnati Art Museum collection. Both share deep,
incised lines and abstracted fan-shaped motifs.
As a pictorial device, Couse favored single-figure compositions tightly cropped. In the way that his frames attract the viewer’s attention through
their bold patterning, it may be argued that his frames truly “contain” rather than expand the pictorial space, imparting a greater intimacy to the
moments depicted.

Willard Leroy Metcalf (American, 1858-1925)
Exhibitions: Exhibition of Paintings by Willard L. Metcalf, February 12–March 3, 1923, The Milch Galleries, New York, no. 5.
N.B. This painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the works of Willard L. Metcalf by Ira Spanierman and Richard J.
Boyle.
The present work was one of fifteen works shown at a one-man exhibition in February 1923 that marked a critical point in Metcalf’s life and
career. Having suffered a series of personal disappointments and low artistic productivity in 1921, Metcalf lapsed into a bout of alcoholism lasting
several months. Metcalf, still in the grips of the addiction, was visiting Boston early in 1922 when several of his friends concerned for his well-
being intervened and called his art dealer, Albert Milch.1 Milch gave him an ultimatum: quit drinking or lose representation.2 Metcalf promised
to curb his drinking, and in a few months time, resolved to paint a group of superior works for an exhibit to be held a year later, in the early part
of 1923. During this year, Metcalf worked in primarily two Vermont locations: Lower Perkinsville for most of the winter through summer, and
Chester for the late summer through fall.
The present work is likely from his Chester period, where he created his tour-de-force work, Indian Summer (No. 3), 1922, presently in the Dallas
Museum of Art collection. A critic praised Indian Summer (No. 3) for its “reserved yet brilliant tones” that “permeate the canvas,” adding that, “a
beautiful light envelops the composition and the soft warm haze of the season is felt throughout.”3 The same may be said of the present work,
though it offers a quieter, resigning view.
Perhaps as much out of pride as an assurance to Milch that he intended to deliver on his promise, Metcalf made a diagram of the fifteen works
he had completed for his February exhibit. The present work is likely represented in the diagram as November Morning, as it is identical in
composition and size, and one may speculate that it was renamed to distinguish it from November in the same show. The sales from the exhibit
were highly successful for Metcalf, and he returned to Chester later in the month in high spirits.4

N.B. On July 20, 1897, William Kaula, future husband of the artist,
wrote in his diary, “Miss L. is painting an excellent interior of the old
stone church at La Chapelle. It is an old stained-whitewashed interior
with old wooden pews, stone floors and green mould [sic] creeping
up the side-walls. With the addition of a few figures, the priest, choir-
boy, and a few old women it will make an interesting work as it is
painted with a pleasing simplicity and good feeling for subdued color.
Miss L. has none of the insipid sentiment about the picturesque,
and has no desire to paint the anecdotal picture- the bane of art
students in Paris or France.” (Excerpted from the hand-written journal
of William J. Kaula, July 20, 1897, while sojourning in Crécy, France,
pp. 176-177.) The journal entry also mentions “Miss S,” presumably
Claire Shuttleworth, with whom Lee Lufkin traveled to Paris. Lee
Lufkin and William Kaula were married in 1902.

David Burliuk (Ukrainian/American, 1882-1967)
N.B. The present work is from David Burliuk’s Still Life period (roughly
1940s to 1960s) and painted in the spirit of Van Gogh, whom
Burliuk greatly admired.1 According to Myroslav Shkandrij, Burliuk’s
still lifes from this time “are his last tribute to natural beauty and the
mysterious powers of the earth” showing that he was “in the end, a
worshipper of the earth’s abundance and glory as much as a Futurist
scandalizer of public taste.”2
