While there have been a smattering of assorted sales earlier in the month, the first sale in the section of the art market relevant to Rehs Galleries took place on Thursday at Christie\u2019s New York. The <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">American Sublime<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> sale comprised a collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American paintings from a single collection. The sale did moderately well, yet serves as another example of how a single painting can make or break an auction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The top lot, the image of which was used by Christie\u2019s for marketing the sale, was Thomas Cole\u2019s 1827 landscape <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mount Chocorua, New Hampshire<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The mountain was a popular subject for Cole and other Hudson River School painters. The painting last sold at Sotheby\u2019s in 1995 for $277.5K w\/p (or roughly $571K in 2025). Not only was it the most highly valued painting in the sale, but it perfectly encapsulates the overall theme of the auction. As I\u2019ve noted in previous articles (about <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2023\/04\/turner-the-father-of-modern-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">J.M.W.

Cole achieves this not only by expertly depicting the untamed wilderness of New England but also by capturing its enormity with the inclusion of a fisherman dressed in red in the foreground. It\u2019s not just a landscape<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, it<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is a work that conveys the physical and spiritual greatness of the natural world, which makes human achievement seem insignificant by comparison. The Cole, predicted to sell for between $800K and $1.2 million, hammered slightly above its estimate at $1.3 million (or $1.6 million w\/p). This set a new auction record for the artist, displacing the painting <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.albanyinstitute.org\/tl_files\/collection\/paintings\/1964.40_cole.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catskill Mountain House,<\/a><\/em> which sold at Christie&#8217;s in 2003 for $1.4 million w\/p.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55936\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55936\" class=\"wp-image-55936\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"A still-life painting of raisin cake with a glass of wine.\" width=\"200\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-1024x712.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-1536x1068.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0222_000raphaelle_peale_still_life_with_raisin_cake033859-2048x1424.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-55936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Still Life with Raisin Cake<\/em> by Raphaelle Peale<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">From the enormous to the intimate, the second place lot at Christie\u2019s on Thursday was Raphaelle Peale\u2019s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still Life with Raisin Cake<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Peale was part of a large family of professional artists: his father, Charles Willson Peale, was one of the first prominent portraitists in the revolutionary and post-independence periods of the United States. Raphaelle and many of his siblings became involved in the arts as well. Peale carved out a niche for himself as one of the most prominent American still-life painters of the early nineteenth century. Despite his success, only about fifty of his paintings survive today, making them incredibly desirable for collectors. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still-Life with Raisin Cake<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> was estimated to sell for no more than $350K. However, a bidding war broke out, and the hammer came down at $450K (or $567K w\/p). Finally, there was <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Winter Evening in the Country<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by Jasper Francis Cropsey, another example from the Hudson River School. William Henry Vanderbilt was likely the painting\u2019s first owner, and was kept in the Vanderbilt family until 1942. The work, created in 1865, shows children playing on a frozen lake. In the foreground, a young boy pretends to be a Union soldier since the American Civil War was in its final months at the time of the painting\u2019s creation. Cropsey was an enthusiastic Unionist and conveyed optimism through his use of color and light despite showing a cold winter scene. Like the other two top lots, the Cropsey sold slightly above its estimate, selling for $320K (or $403.2K w\/p) against a $300K high estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55937\" style=\"width: 273px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55937\" class=\"wp-image-55937\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"A winter landscape showing children playing on a frozen lake.\" width=\"263\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025_NYR_23993_0203_000jasper_francis_cropsey_winter_evening_in_the_country033037-2048x1205.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-55937\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Winter Evening in the Country<\/em> by Jasper Francis Cropsey<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Several of the lots sold for more than double their high estimate, with the most notable of the surprises being the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">very first lot<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> of the sale: <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/img\/lotimages\/2025\/NYR\/2025_NYR_23993_0201_000(homer_dodge_martin_adirondack_lake094131).jpg?mode=max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adirondack Lake<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by Homer Dodge Martin. The 1863 Hudson River school landscape sold for $140K (or $176.4K w\/p), approximately 2.8 times its $50K high estimate. However, as I mentioned earlier, the top lots and the surprises were insufficient to completely rescue the sale, as several highly-valued lots went unsold.
