- PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF GENERAL THOMAS
PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF GENERAL THOMAS EATON OF NC, 1739-...Miniature watercolor portrait depicting Revolutionary War General Thomas Eaton of North Carolina (c. 1739-1809), depicted in late middle age, balding, with blue eyes and wearing a dark blue coat with gold buttons and a white shirt. Housed under glass in a copper frame with flat loop hanger and ball finial; retains its original oval red leather case with remnants of silk lining. Interior of case is inscribed "Gen. Eaton Continental Army NC." Framed: 2 1/2" H x 2" W. Note: Thomas Eaton served in the North Carolina Militia during the War of the Regulation in 1771 and in the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1784, leading troops in the battles of Brier Creek and Guilford Courthouse. He was also a member of the NC Provincial Congress and the NC House of Commons, and the NC Council of State under Gov. Richard Caswell (ref. William S. Powell, The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography, p. 131). Gen. Eaton had considerable wealth and was listed in the 1790 census as one of the largest slaveholders in the state; a note found with the portrait states that he equipped a regiment at his own expense. Eaton's first wife, Anna Bland, bore him a daughter also named Anna, who married Guilford Dudley, originally of Halifax County, VA. Guilford and Anna Dudley resided in Williamson County, Tennessee and the portrait descended in their family to Mary Bright Wilson. Additional note: the next portrait in this auction is believed to depict Gen. Eaton's daughter Harriet.

- Elizabeth Nourse (Ohio 1859-1938) Rentrant
Elizabeth Nourse (Ohio 1859-1938) Rentrant de l&rsquot;eglise Penmarc&rsquot;h Oil on canvas titled Rentrant de l&rsquot;eglise Penmarc&rsquot;h (translated Coming Home from Church Brittany) signed and dated 1900 l.l.; 39.5 x 30 in.A native of Cincinnati student of Frank Duveneck and accomplished French Salon painter Elizabeth Nourse&rsquot;s paintings from the south of France are perhaps regarded as her most important work. Rentrant de l&rsquot;eglise Penmarc&rsquot;h expertly highlights her well known style and subject matter.Done in the fall of 1900 while traveling with her sister Louise in the small town of Pointe de Penmarch Nourse returned there another three times to paint the inhabitants of the coastal village. There Nourse worked rapidly in her sketchbook drawing small plein air studies which she developed later in the studio.Here a plain faced Breton mother lightly holds her son&rsquot;s hand as she clutches a Bible to her waist. She looks far off into the distance her expressionless gaze engaging no one while the young boy stares defiantly at the viewer. Nourse often depicted the straightforward stare of peasants and middle-class subjects in order to engage the spectator. As Nourse explained "To me these people are not ugly their faces their toil-stained hands tell the story of their lives. I cannot paint &rsquot;pretty&rsquot; people; they do not appeal to me." Clothed in their traditional dark and elaborate Breton dress the two vertical figures stand in contrast to the framing horizontal bands of surrounding landscape.Nourse exhibited this work along with three other oil paintings at the New Salon in Paris in 1901. After this exhibition the Salon elected her Sociétaire in drawing pastel and watercolor; in 1904 she received the prestigious award in oil painting as well. An unprecedented achievement Nourse became the first American woman to be honored in such a way.Because of these accolades and subject matter Nourse is often compared to the American Impressionist Mary Cassatt. Each chose feminine domestic subject matter both lived as expatriates in Europe and the two had successful artistic careers even amidst a sea of male peers. Nourse&rsquot;s works of mothers and children rival her female peer. Academically trained Nourse&rsquot;s paintings offer a well-arranged and balanced composition. Additionally Nourse&rsquot;s paintings tend to evoke a more pronounced response from the viewer. Like other works painted in Brittany Nourse has captured the emotional and personal appeal of the Breton people.
