label: School/Tradition

content: Ukiyo-e

content: These two paintings (see also F1903.61) are sections from a late-seventeenth-century handscroll by an unidentified painter. In one, a boy performs a so-called Narihira odori (Narihira dance), in which the dancer enacts the role of the poet, nobleman, and romantic hero Ariwara no Narihira (825-880). Narihira dances, which feature an elegant costume with a courtier's hat, were often performed by boys and young men in early-seventeenth-century kabuki. In the other painting, a monkey performs a dance to entertain a mother and her children.

label: Description

content: Drawing of a street scene in the French coastal town of Dieppe, with a drawing of a cliff and building on the reverse.

label: Signatures

content: Unsigned.

label: Inscriptions

content: "les Cotes a Dieppe. 1857." and ""Le Mer a Dieppe 1857"

content: Once a significant port on the west coast of France, Dieppe had become a resort town popular with English tourists by the mid-19th century. It offered visitors a lengthy promenade, warm baths, sea bathing, golf links and a casino. Whistler depicted the promenade with its large clock that proclaimed the value of middle-class leisure time. He also included the lofty chalk cliffs and the sea beyond. The tightly drawn figures with highly contrasted pencil strokes are similarly distributed in this and A group of figures on an esplanade (F1898.186), suggesting the studio nature of the compositions. Whistler visited Dieppe many times as he traveled back and forth between Paris and London.

content: One of Whistler's most beautiful doorway etchings, The Lime-Burner is also a respectful portrait of a dignified workingman. Indeed, when Whistler exhibited the etching in London in 1860, he titled it W. Jones, Lime-Burner, Thames Street. The pencil signature in the lower left of the sheet indicates that Whistler gave this impression to his brother-in-law, the eminent English etcher Francis Seymour Haden (1818-1910).

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "K" numbers as assigned in Edward Kennedy's catalogue, The Etched Work of Whistler, (New York: Grolier Club, 1910; and subsequent editions). This print is K46; first state of two.

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "G" numbers as assigned in James McNeill Whistler: The Etchings, a catalogue raisonné by Margaret F. McDonald, Grischka Petri, Meg Hausberg, and Joanna Meacock (University of Glasgow, 2012), http://etchings.arts.gla.ac.uk. This print is G55 state 1 of 2.

content: Dr. Otto Burchard & Co., a gallery devoted to Chinese art, was founded by Otto Burchard (1892-1965) in Berlin in 1927 as a part of the Margraf Concern, an art trade firm based in Berlin. In 1929, the Margraf Concern was acquired by Jakob and Rosa Oppenheimer.

content: See Patrizia Jirka-Schmitz, "Otto Burchard (1892-1965), Von Finanz-Dada zum Grandseigneur des Pekinger Kunsthandels," Mitteilungen Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ostasiatische Kunst 12, 2 (July 1995), p. 28, note 24.

content: [2] The sale was one of a series of three auctions during January through April 1935, in which the Margraf Concern, property of Jakob and Rosa Oppenheimer, was liquidated. See also Klaus Schrenk, "Das Gemälde 'Bildnis der Marchesa Veronica Spinola Doria' von Peter Paul Rubens und die Chronologie einer Rückforderung," in Beiträge öffentlicher Einrichtungen des Bundesrepublik Deutschland zum Umgang mit Kulturgütern aus ehemaligen jüdischen Besitz, ed. Ulf Häder (Magdeburg: Veröffentlichungen der Koordinierungsstelle für Kulturgutverluste, 2001), pp. 150-59 and Esther Tisa Francini, Anja Heuss, and Georg Kreis, Flucht - Raubgut: Der Transfer von Kulturgütern in und über die Schweiz 1933-1945 und die Frage der Restitution (Zurich: Chronos, 2001), p. 42.

content: See also Bernhard Karlgren, "Yin and Chou in Chinese Bronzes," in Yin and Chou Researches (Stockholm: The Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, 1935), p. 84, E40, pl. XII, where the vessel is listed as in "Oeder Collection."

content: [4] See Loo's stockcard no. LAP 5901: "Bronze incense-burner on a square stand, 6th cent. B.C.," C. T. Loo & Frank Caro Archive, Musée Guimet, Paris, copy in object file. According to annotations on the stockcard, the vessel arrived in New York on the S.S. Normandie with Loo in November 1937 and was brought to the Freer Gallery for approval in December 1937.

content: It appears on C. T. Loo's Approval List, dated December 2, 1937, listed under no. LAP 5901 as "Large bronze Yu with square base," copy in object file.

content: [5] See C. T. Loo's invoice, issued by the New York gallery, dated December 29, 1938, copy in object file. The object is listed in the invoice as "Bronze sacral vessel of the type tui. Chinese, Chou."

content: Loo stated at the time of the purchase that he had acquired the vessel in China, see John E. Lodge's curatorial remark, 1939, in object file.

content: Lodge noted that Loo "said that he had got it [the vessel] in China and this could be true. In 1935, however, Karlgren published … an inscribed kuei belonging to Rittergutsbesitzer H. G. Oeder (of Priemern, Seehausen, Altmark, Germany) which, as nearly as I can tell from the reproduction, is almost certainly this one,--- my only serious doubt, indeed, arising from the negative evidence of Karlgren's failure to read the second character in the inscription."

content: In July 2000, the Freer Gallery of Art received a claim asserting that the heirs of Rosa and Jakob Oppenheimer were the rightful owners of the vessel. With the cooperation and assistance of the family, the Smithsonian researched the history of the vessel and discovered that it had been sold in the auction in Berlin in 1935.

content: In November 2002, the Oppenheimer heirs and the Smithsonian Institution reached an agreement regarding the ownership of the vessel by which it remains in the museum collection.

content: Notes:

content: [1] See “Listing of Objects offered to the FGA by Mr. John Hadley Cox,” September 12, 1991, copy in object file.

content: John Hadley Cox (1913-2005) was an educator and a collector of Chinese archaeological ceramic, pottery, and bronze vessels, predominantly from the Changsha region of Hunan Province in South Central China. Upon graduating from Yale University in 1935 (B.A.), he spent two years teaching at Yale University's Yale-in-China program in Changsha. Whilst in China, he amassed his collection of ceramics and other materials from active archaeological sites in the region. During World War II, Cox served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) (now the CIA), and he was sent to Shanghai in 1945 to collect counterintelligence. Cox was also a fellow of the Harvard-Yenching Institute of Far Eastern Studies, an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Michigan, and a linguistics professor at Georgetown University. In 1991, Cox donated 106 potsherds of Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Chinese origin to the Freer Gallery Study Collection. Cox also left numerous items of his collection to the art gallery of his alma mater.
