Lot 47 Samuel Lancaster Gerry American, 1813-1891 Calm Pond (White Mountains, New Hampshire) Signed S. L. Gerry (lr) Oil on canvas 20 1/4 x 27 inches Provenance: Private collection Literature: Erik Brockett. "Painting in the White Mountains." Antiques and Fine Art (Summer 2005), 159 color illus. A self-taught artist associated with the art life of Boston in the second half of the nineteenth century, Samuel Lancaster Gerry was a cofounder in 1854 of the Boston Art Club, and taught many artists including J. Frank Currier. Although he painted portraits and figure pieces, he is best known for his landscapes of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Rendered in the transcriptive mode of the Hudson River School, works such as Calm Pond reflect the influence on Gerry of the work of Durand, while demonstrating his proclivity for restorative and serene places of natural beauty. As a writer stated in the artist's obituary in the Critic: "Mr. Gerry was ever an ardent lover of the beautiful in this world, and with his intense religious feeling almost worshipped nature as a glorious creation of God."

Lot 83 SAMUEL LANCASTER GERRY (american 1813-1891) A SHEPHERD AND HIS FLOCK Signed 'SL Gerry' bottom left, oil on canvas 12 x 20 in. (30.5 x 50.8cm) provenance: Private Collection, New Hampshire. Estimate $1,500-2,500 Not relined but with a squarish patch on verso, approx. 2 3/8 x 2 inches. Under u.v. light this painting is difficult to accurately 'read' due to the varnish inconsistencies and pigments used. Even over the patched area we do not see evidence on front of canvas of major restoration. There is also some visible craquelure. Overall, we think the painting is in generally good condition.
