THE ARTHUR TOOTH COLLECTION 
 | HE firm of Arthur Tooth & Sons, Ltd., established in 1842 by 
 BT it. late Mr. Arthur Tooth, with branches in London and New 
 York, has long been known as specialists in the masterpieces of 
 the English Eighteenth Century School. On the recent death of Mr. 
 Arthur Tooth, the friend and advi ising expert of a generation of New 
 ‘York buyers, it was decided by the Executors to close the branch at 
 ‘709 Fifth Avenue, New York, and to liquidate at public auction its 
 contents. 
 
 The paintings offered comprise therefore about eighty-five works, 
 
 Snainly of the English School, the attributions of which have been in - 
 iy case given by the authority and under the hand of the late Mr. 
 Arthur Tooth. A catholic range of artists includes the names of 
 Reynolds, Gainsborough, Kneller, Lely, Lawrence, Hoppner, Beechey, 
 Cotes, Angelica Kauffmann, West, Gilbert Stuart and others of 
 minor note, many from well-known English collections or from the 
 descendants of the sitters or their friends; as in the case of the Beechey 
 portrait of the first Earl of Carnarvon obtained from the collection 
 of the present earl, that of Admiral Keppel described in Graves and 
 Cronin’s History of the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, P.R.A., and 
 from the collection of R. F. Elwin, Esq., and the Hoppner purchased 
 from the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon. 
 
 An important item is the famous Corot, “‘Saint Sébastien secouru 
 par les Saintes Femmes,” illustrated in the comprehensive book of 
 Robaut (No. 2316), and which realized at the Vente Gellinard in 1888 
 and at the disposal of the Milliken Collection in New York in 1902 
 truly impressive figures...The Italian School is represented by a Pan- 
 nini bought from Lady Redhouse and four pictures of Venice by 
 Marieschi; the Dutch by a Mytens and a Stevaerts, a small Van Goyen 
 from the collection of the late Earl Cowley, a J. G. Cuyp and an im- 
 portant Josef Israels, “A Friendly Visit,” one of the tragic master- 
 pieces of this painter. 
 
 An interesting addition is a small charcoal drawing by Sir Edward 
 Burne-Jones, made for the firm of Morris & Son as a design for a 
 stained glass window, with directions for the coloring in the artist’s 
 
 own handwriting. 
 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
 
 I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
 article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by 
 the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 
 
 II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
 between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
 re-sale the lot so in dispute. 
 
 Ill. Identification and devosit by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot shall 
 be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a 
 eard giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. 
 
 A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
 purchase prices as may be required. 
 
 If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the, lot or lots so pur- 
 chased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 
 
 IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
 and thereafter the property is at the purchasers’ risk, and neither the consignor nor the 
 Association is responsible for the loss of, or any damage to any article by theft, fire, 
 breakage, however occasioned, or any other cause whatsoever. 
 
 V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon 
 payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 
 
 VI. Receipted bills: Goods will only be delivered on presentation of a receipted 
 pill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order 
 by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a 
 receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should 
 immediately notify the Association of such loss. 
 
 VII. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not 
 paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following 
 that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to 
 and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser. 
 and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against 
 the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will 
 be upon the purchaser. 
 
 In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the 
 day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer reserve the right, any 
 other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all lots 
 included in the purchase bill, at its or his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to 
 re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the 
 buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses 
 sustained in so doing. 
 
 VIII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
 the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur- 
 chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; 
 doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and 
 charges of the parties engaged for such service. 
 
 IX. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
 
 “rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, 
 
 defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
 of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and 
 no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloging or imper- 
 fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘as is” and without recourse. 
 
 Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Asso- 
 ciation will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that 
 any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
 as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become 
 responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 
 
 X. Records: The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to 
 be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and 
 seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 
 
 _ XI. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
 parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone, if conditions permit, 
 will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made 
 will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase 
 of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his 
 agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to _be 
 returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded 
 if the lot differs from its catalogue description. 
 
 Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as 
 to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given. 
 but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
 lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of arts, the bid per volume 
 or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Asso- 
 ale a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 
 
 e given. 
 
 Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be 
 furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copy- 
 ing the necessary information from the records of the Association. 
 
 These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or by an officer 
 of the Association.

 hair blond—the expression of the sitter, one of Reynolds” favorite sub-_ 
 jects, that of an obstinate figure not unmarred perhaps. by an indul . 
 gence in good living. 
 
 A brochure to be sold with the picture and signed by W. McKay and William 
 Roberts, reads in part as follo:s “Sir Joshua Reynolds probably painted more | 
 _ portraits of this distinguished naval officer than of any other person. These por- 
 Ly traits range in date from that painted by young Reynolds at Minorca in’ 1749 down 
 “to 1780, six years before the Admiral’s death. The earliest of these is ‘illustrated 
 and described in the first volume of the Walpole Society, 1912; and perhaps the 
 most famous of all is Lord Rosebery’s whole length, which launched Reynolds suc- 4 
 cessfully into the world as a fashionable portrait painter, and was painted in 1752-3, 
 soon after the artist’s return from Rome... ... This portrait (the above) was pre-_ 
 sented in 1820 to the Rev. Robert Fountaine Elwin, Rector of> Wilby and Wein 3 
 Norfolk, by William Charles, the Earl of Albemarle, the oldest son of the Admiral’s 
 eldest brother. The Rev. Mr. Elwin exhibited it at the British Institution in 1847, No. 
 139; and the portrait is duly recorded in Graves and Cronin’s ‘History: of the Works |

 in Ireland about 1790. His pictures naturally show a very strong influence of 
 Romney, and some have been accepted as by the master’s own hand. . . . . It was 
 while living in Belfast also that he (the son) published his ‘Juvenile Poems,’ 1806, 
 which he afterwards endeavored to suppress. ..... It contains a frontispiece and 
 engraving (in reverse and with a few modifications) of the portrait which is the 
 subject of this essay, and with the inscription ‘Thomas Romney Robinson, aged 12 
 years’ followed by a quotation in Greek..... . In January, 1806, he entered 
 Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining a scholarship in 1808, and his B.A. degree in 1810. 
 In this year his father died after being for a brief period president of the Society

 lation and whose families are gossiping cheerfully on the low beach. 
 The flat sandy shore divided centrally by a curving runnel of water 
 from the bay is covered indeed with a variety of fishing-boats, people, 
 timber, ballast and anchors, some of the last belonging to a group 
 of vessels stranded in the shallows—brigs, smacks and schooners—the 
 whole outlined in startling clearness of detail and color by the sunlight 
 from an August sky.

 | A, left is a mahogany side chair of the Chippendale type on which are 
 ui “piled books, a cup-and-ball, a play box and a miniature painted violin 
 - and a bow; underneath it a skeleton chaise drawn by a wooden horse 
 on wheels. Leaning against this useful article of furniture is a girl 
 - of five years in a white dress from underneath which peeps out a foot 
 in a red leather slipper, the dress knotted about with a blue sash, 
 holding between her hands a scribbling book. Blue eyes and a chubby 
 j face look towards the observer under a shaggy head of fair hair.

 49 inches; width, 39 inches 
 
 A FicurRE of some breadth of pose and majesty, seen in ee -quarter 
 length and facing half- right before a sombre landscape. A white satin 
 dress with lace sleeves is worn over a wine-red underskirt, with a boy w 
 of red satin ribbon at the corsage; underneath a tiny black hat with 
 a white feather, the dark hair falls from the finely modeled shoulders 
 forming the narrow oval of a face lighted by blue-gray eyes and dis- 
 tinguished by a straight nose of unusual length, the mouth ettenp a 
 to smile as the left hand is thrown out in a gesture of subtle appeal. _

 Jaron, iace bn Na WITH ROMAN SOLDIERS 
 
 a) ‘ Height, 38 inches; length, 50 inches 
 
 A BEAUTIFUL study of tones in the play of an Italian sunlight on 
 buildings and grass. The composition has at the left three Corinthian - 
 columns and the remains of their entablature among the ruins of fallen 
 masonry and sculpture—columns, plinths, friezes and a broken marble 
 torso—among which are the figures of four Roman soldiers part- — 
 armored, with bare legs, in argument. Behind this rises a column of 
 triumph chiseled with military scenes, and yet farther behind, the 
 walls and dome of a palace; at the right a sturdy stone tower topped 
 with masonry, in the Romanesque manner, and abutting on it a classic 
 temple in the Corinthian order at the door of which are figures. The 
 space between is occupied by a winding path, ornamental trees and 
 grassy lawns, among which are wandering further personages.

 ‘SA Fh Height, 63 inches; width, 47 inches 
 
 Unper the vault of an unequal gray sky the mud-flatsf Scheveningen 
 extend away from the foreground in an irregular line, washed by the 
 sea which feels its way in from the right, making great inroads on the 
 shifting land so that it is broken up into little islands and peninsulas 
 of drab wet soil. In the immediate foreground, coming towards the 
 observer, a small cart drawn by a gray horse and containing the figure 
 of a countryman in a blue smock seated on top of a pile of seaweed 
 thriftily collected from the beach; in the distance at the left a coast- 
 guard’s hut, at the right by an outlying spit of land a smack and fig- 
 ures busied about it in the cold morning. 
 
 Signed at lower right, E. Pirrers, 775.

 87—_LADY ASTL 
 
 JL b : Height, 50 
 
 A rau three-quarter length figure in a white satin dress, the slender 
 waist confined, the skirt billowing out into a fulness gathered in the 
 left hand; the right arm is bent, the right hand holding delicately a 
 spray of orange-blossom. The youthful dignity of the twenties is on 
 the firmly-set mouth and the slightly overfull chin, while the steadfast 
 - eyes under a shrewd forehead connote an intelligence above the ordi- 
 nary. The background is of romantic landscape and storm, with inky 
 blue clouds at the right and the bole of a tree thrusting itself aloft 
 among leafage at the left.
