RARE IRON-PAINTED 'CHRYSANTHEMUM
RARE IRON-PAINTED 'CHRYSANTHEMUM AND BAMBOO' HANDLED MOONFLASK
JOSEON DYNASTY, 18TH-19TH CENTURY ???? ???????????of flattened globular form set on a high spreading oval foot with a cylindrical neck and everted lip, decorated on one side with bamboo and the reverse with chrysanthemum, two loop-handles flanked the shoulders, two sides of the foot with perforations (1)17.5cm highProvenance: Christie's, 1981 (according to collector's inventory).Dr. Kenneth P. Lawley's inventory number: Cer.88.Note: The Korean potters started experimenting with iron brown or black painting as early as the 12th century influenced by the Chinese Cizhou ware. At the beginning of the Joseon period, painting with iron pigment was the distinguishing feature of pottery produced at the Keryong-san kilns. By the end of the 16th century to the end of the dynasty, local potteries across the country have produced white or grey porcelains and stonewares decorated with underglaze iron painting. Some of the finest brushwork is seen on jars and wine flasks decorated with sprays of bamboo, a favourited subject with scholar-artists and aristocrats in the mid-Joseon period, 16th-17th century. Observes G. St. G. M. Gompertz, 1968, Korean Pottery & Porcelain of the Yi Period, London: Faber and Faber, pp. 48-50.Compare to a finer wine flask with underglaze iron painting of bamboo, 17th century, without the loop handles, illustrated ibid. pl. 62, and a wine flask similarly decorated but flanked with two squirrel-form handles, illustrated ibid. pl. 71A, subsequently sold at Bonhams London, 7 Nov 2013, lot 26. Including this lot, these three moonflasks are decorated with bold sweep of brushwork and rich brown, almost black, of iron pigment producing an effect that evokes admiration.Several other related comparable examples with nuances of form and detail, all dated to the Joseon Dynasty, are in museum collections. Including the National Museum of Korea, collection no. ?? 248; The Cleveland Museum of Art, accession no. 1999.44; Harvard Art Museums, museum no. 2002.267.

LOUIS AGASSIZ FUERTES
LOUIS AGASSIZ FUERTES (1874-1924)Three Crows
signed "Louis Agassiz Fuertes" lower right
watercolor, 14 by 8 1/2 in.
This work appeared in a 1919 issue of "Bird-Lore," which was the magazine of the Audubon Societies for over forty years. It depicts three varieties of crows: 1. Crow, 2. Fish Crow, 3. Northwest Crow.
Louis Agassiz Fuertes was named after the famous Harvard professor Louis Agassiz by his father, himself a professor at Cornell. Though he studied architecture at Cornell, the words of his namesake “Study nature, not books” prevailed and Fuertes went on to become one of the preeminent American bird artists of all time. The artist was noted for his early talent and eye for detail, joining the American Ornithologists’ Union at the age of seventeen. Through this important group, he met ornithologist Elliott Coues, who promoted his work and commissioned the artist to illustrate his 1903 book, "Key to North American Birds." Along with Frank W. Benson, Fuertes provided illustrations for John C. Phillips’ "A Natural History of the Ducks," published from 1922-1926. He also painted his stunning bird portraits for Edward Howe Forbush’s "Birds of Massachusetts and Other New England States," published between 1925-1929. His works can be found in the collections of Cornell University and Chicago’s Field Museum, among others, and he has two species of birds named after him: Icterus fuertesi and Hapalopsittaca fuertesi.
Provenance: Eddie Woodin Collection
Literature: "Bird-Lore," Vol. XXI, No. 2, March-April 1919, frontispiece, illustrated.

PEABODY-RIG REDHEAD DRAKEGeorge
PEABODY-RIG REDHEAD DRAKEGeorge Augustus Peabody (1831-1929) Rig
Danvers, MA, c. 1850
15 3/4 in. long
This very early and exceptional hollow redhead drake is from the rig of George A. Peabody, a friend and fellow Harvard graduate of Dr. John C. Phillips (1876-1938).
The removable head is attached by three brass pins, one of which is threaded and held tight by a nut on the underside of the decoy. Matching "XXXI" incisions are on the facing surfaces inside the neck seam. This meticulously crafted removable head system is reminiscent of the dovetailed geese and shorebirds and the Osgood geese. The head is slightly turned and features broad cheeks and detailed bill carving. The long and hollowed body is finished with elaborate wing carving and fine paint. This decoy is perhaps the earliest known example to show this level of sophisticated wing carving.
The bottom board is securely affixed with both nails and screws and is twice branded "G. A. PEABODY."
Original paint with light gunning wear, flaking, and a bill tip chip.
Provenance: George A. Peabody Rig
