06/21/09 1 WILLIAM VERELST (british fl. 1734-ca. 1756) PORTRAIT OF THE ARCHITECT, MASTER OF THE STEELYARDS, AND PHILANTHROPIST-THEODORE JACOBSEN Inscribed and dated ‘ARS NON HABET INIMICUM PRAETER IGNORANTIAM 1736’ lower left, oil on canvas 43 3/8 x 39 3/4 in. (110.2 x 101cm) provenance: Sabin Galleries Ltd., London, United Kingdom. Private Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Theodore Jacobsen (d. 1772) was a wealthy British merchant of German descent. His family was engaged in the business of managing the Steelyard, which was established in London during the early days of the Hanseatic merchants. Theodore became Housemaster in 1735 - a year before the present work was painted following the death of his brother, Sir Jacob Jacobsen. Though an amateur architect, Theodore Jacobsen is credited with numerous accomplishments; these include creating designs for London's Foundling Hospital (founded for the maintenance and education of abandoned children), The Royal Naval Hospital at Gosport, and designs for "Lonesome Lodge," the artist's home near Dorking, Surrey. Verelst was an accomplished portrait painter. He was a member of both the Royal and Antiquarian Societies and The Society of Artists. Additionally, he was made a Governor of the Foundling Hospital in 1739, an honor bestowed on other important British painters of the day, including Thomas Hudson and William Hogarth. Coincidentally, both Hudson and Hogarth also painted portraits of Theodore Jacobsen. Hudson's portrait of Jacobsen was presented to the Foundling Hospital in 1746, and Hogarth's portrait of Jacobsen is now in the collection of Oberlin College, Ohio. $8,000-12,000

note: Arguably the leading Regionalist painter of the American scene, Thomas Hart Benton painted a number of important murals, including America Today (1930), for the New School of Social Research, The Arts of Life in America (1932), for The Whitney Studio Club Mural, A Social History of Indiana (1933), for the state of Indiana’s pavilion at the Chicago World’s Fair, and A Social History of Missouri (1935-6), for the Missouri State Capitol Building. The present work is a study for one of the paintings from the series The American Historical Epic, an earlier, multi-panel mural Benton began in 1919 and worked on into the late 1920s. Never completed, Benton’s idea for the mural is said to have been inspired by a reading of Jesse Ames Spencer’s History of the United States as well as by his boyhood ambition to paint a series that would depict “The Explorers and Adventurers of Early America.” The American Historical Epic was first conceived as an ambitious series of
paintings in ten separate chapters, with each chapter comprised of five panels. The series was created to depict American history, from its colonial beginnings, through frontier exploration, the Civil War, through to the rise of American industry. Benton is said to have completed from fifteen to eighteen paintings of The American Historical Epic – five panels from three, rather than all ten chapters. The ten paintings in chapters one and two of this series – all bequeathed to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City - depict themes involving Native Americans and European explorers. The five panels comprising the third and final chapter, entitled Colonization, were executed in 1924-7, and depict themes of struggle and labor. Included in this final chapter is The Axes, the prototype for the present painting. The Axes (final version in the collection of Lyman Field and United Missouri Bank, Kansas City) depicts four men chopping trees – an allegory of industry. The final
version measures 59 1/4 x 41 1/4 inches, and features two of the men, the standing figure at center left, and the distant figure at center right, wielding axes, which are omitted from the present work.

Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales.

Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale.
