• PERCIVAL ROSSEAU (1859-1937)Pair of
  PERCIVAL ROSSEAU (1859-1937)Pair of Aces, 1921 signed and dated "Rosseau 1921" lower right oil on canvas, 12 1/2 by 19 1/2 in. Percival Rosseau was born near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1859. Although considered a premier painter of sporting dogs, he did not pick up a paintbrush until the age of thirty-five. After leaving an eclectic business career, including stints as a cowboy and a lumberjack, he sailed to Paris to attend the Académie Julian. His entry at the 1904 Paris Salon, a painting of a pair of Irish wolfhounds, gained him pivotal acclaim. He returned to the United States where he found a ready market for his work among wealthy sportsmen and received many commissions from first-rate breeders of pointers and setters. Rosseau’s best works capture the tense action of hunting dogs and depict them in romantic landscapes. Among these patrons was Percy Rockefeller, nephew of oil tycoon John. D. Rockefeller and a successful businessman in his own right. Along with several investors, Rockefeller built Overhills, a private hunt and country club with stables and kennels in Cumberland County, North Carolina. He kept a cottage on the property for Rosseau to use when he traveled to the state, and the artist painted there throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Dog historian A. F. Hochwalt writes, “Eventually such men as Samuel G. Allen, Harry D. Kirkover and others who own high class shooting dogs began to cultivate his acquaintance, for artists who can portray the pointer and the setter, as he really appears in the field, those who are able to transfer to canvas an actual hunting scene where the dog is not a mere caricature, are few and far between the world over, but particularly so here in America." Rosseau’s debt to the Barbizon tradition is apparent in “Pair of Aces" with its softly defined brushstrokes, rich colors, and pastoral setting. This exceptional, small work is one of the artist's true gems.

• PORTRAITS OF COL. ROBERT BOGARDUS SNOWDEN
  PORTRAITS OF COL. ROBERT BOGARDUS SNOWDEN & ANNIE OVERT...Southern School, late 19th century oil on canvas bust length portraits of Col. Robert Bogardus Snowden and his wife, Anne (Annie) Overton Brinkley Snowden of Memphis, circa 1890. Both are depicted in middle age, Col. Snowden in a black evening coat with white tie, and Mrs. Snowden in burgundy velvet dress with inset white sheer bodice, white feather boa, wearing spectacles and diamond ear-bobs. Unsigned. Matching gilt oval mats with Neo-Grec style applied spandrels in floral carved giltwood frames with beaded inner rims. Both: Sight 26" H x 21 1/4" W. Frame 35 1/2" H x 30" W. Col. Robert Bogardus Snowden (1836-1909) was born on Broadway in New York City at the St. Nicholas Hotel, where his grandparents, General and Mrs. Robert Bogardus lived, but he grew up in Nashville, where his father John Bayard Snowden had a successful dry goods business. Like his grandfather, Robert Bogardus Snowden had a strong interest in the military. He was a charter member of the Rock City Guards and at age 25 when the Civil War broke out, he was an adjutant of the First Tennessee Regiment. In 1863 he became Lt. Col. in the 25th Tennessee Regiment and distinguished himself at Chickmauga. Snowden fought until the war ended, then went onto become a successful businessman. In 1868 he married Annie Overton Brinkley. Annie Overton Brinkley Snowden (1845-1923) was the granddaughter of Judge John Overton of Traveller's Rest in Nashville; Overton was a lawyer to President Andrew Jackson and co-founder of Memphis. Annie's mother, Annie Coleman Overton Brinkley (1823-1845), died the year she was born, and she spent much of her childhood at Traveller's Rest. Her father, Robert Campbell Brinkley (1816-1878), was a railroad and real estate tycoon who developed the Little Rock and Memphis Railroad Company and much of downtown Memphis, including the famous Peabody Hotel. Brinkley gave the Peabody to his daughter upon her wedding to Col. Snowden, along with the Italianate villa in midtown Memphis which became known as Annesdale (Annie's Dale). The Snowdens lived elegantly and were pillars of both Nashville and Memphis Society. The Annesdale mansion remained in the family for over a century before being sold and turned into an event venue; it was sold again earlier this year into private hands. These portraits are among several objects from historic Annesdale which descended in the Snowden family and are being offered in this auction, including silver, documents and paintings. Condition: Mr. Snowden: 1" repaired tear to background, lower right. Mrs. Snowden: 1" repaired tear center right, three areas of retouch lower left, on subject's right chest, ranging from 1" to 2 1/2". Frames appear original with later regilding and scattered losses/repairs.
• O/C PORTRAIT OF ANN COLEMAN OVERTON
  O/C PORTRAIT OF ANN COLEMAN OVERTON BRINKLEY, BY OR AFT...Southern oil on canvas oval bust portrait of Ann (Anne) Coleman Overton Brinkley of Tennessee (1823-1845), daughter of Judge John Overton of Nashville, depicting the sitter with dark hair and blue eyes and attired in a blue drape against a background of darkening pink clouds. Unsigned. Housed in a pierced giltwood frame with oval gilt mat having carved Neo-Grec style corner vignettes and beaded molding. Sight: 26 1/2" H x 21" W. Framed: 41" H x 25 1/2" W. 19th century. Note: this painting is a late 19th century copy of a now-missing portrait miniature painted by John Wood Dodge (New York/ Tennessee, 1807-1893), as recorded in his account book for 1841. It may well be by Dodge himself, copying his own earlier work. Ann (Anne) Coleman Overton Brinkley was the daughter of Judge John Overton, co-founder of Memphis, and his wife, Mary McConnell White Overton, and she grew up at their home, Traveller's Rest, in Nashville. At age 18, the same year this image was created by Dodge as a miniature portrait, she married Robert Campbell Brinkley, a successful young lawyer who would go on to become a railroad and development tycoon in Memphis. Tragically, Ann died less than four years later, giving birth to the couple's second child, Anne (Annie) Overton Brinkley (later Snowden, 1845-1923; whose circa 1890-1900 portrait is also in this auction). The Brinkleys' first child, son, Hugh Lawson White Brinkley (1842-1904), grew up to became a champion for women's causes and funded the building of the Anne Brinkley Home for Working Women in Memphis, dedicated to his mother. Although this portrait descended in the Brinkley-Snowden family without an artist attribution and is unsigned, it is certainly a later copy of the 1841 Dodge miniature, and there is a good possibility that this full sized oil painting was painted by John Wood Dodge in replication of his own earlier miniature. Dodge learned his craft in New York and came to Nashville around 1840, where he worked as a portrait painter to many of the city's most prominent citizens. When the Civil War broke out, Dodge returned to New York City, where he continued painting and was a member of the National Academy for many years. In 1889, he returned to his farm in Pomona, Tennessee, and continued to take a few commissions from area patrons (including at least one Overton - ref. the Colonial Dames Portrait Project, Mrs. Jackson May Overton). In his article on Dodge in the Spring, 2000 issue of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly, author Raymond White writes, "After the Civil War caused his removal to the North, Dodge is known to have painted full sized oil portraits and it is possible that he painted them before the war as well. A portrait of Milberry Donelson MacGregor, a granddaughter of Col. John Donelson, in a descendant's collection in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1969 (sic?), has been attributed to Dodge and appears (in photographs) to be of high enough quality to be his work)." It is likely that this oil portrait of Ann Coleman Overton Brinkley, based on Dodge's miniature, was commissioned by her daughter Annie Snowden around 1890. Although Annie Snowden had means and access to a number of good portrait painters including Carl Gutherz of Memphis and the Cooper Brothers (Washington and William) of Nashville, she may have hired Dodge to recreate his own original skillful work, this time in a larger format, placing Ann against a cloud background to convey the tragedy of her early death. Note: this portrait is one of several items that descended in the Brinkley-Snowden family of Memphis being offered in this auction, including other paintings, silver, and ephemera. Condition: Overall very good condition. Retouching to area above sitter's shoulders on right and left side and lower center margin.
