    • Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) - Still Life with Books, Peach and Butterfly
      Dec. 05, 2023

      Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) - Still Life with Books, Peach and Butterfly

      Est: $3,000 - $5,000

      Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) - Still Life with Books, Peach and Butterfly Signed and dated 'Mrs. EB Duffey/1865' bottom right, oil on canvas 12 x 14 in. (30.5 x 35.6cm) Provenance Private Collection, California. Footnotes This rich and well-balanced still-life that Eliza Bisbee Duffey painted and likely exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts fits within the long-established tradition of still life-painting in Philadelphia. Following the footsteps of elders such as Raphaelle Peale or John F. Francis, Duffey presents a tabletop still-life filled with several fruit, dispersed books and a large flower bouquet, which a graceful monarch butterfly forages. Such an exotic presence aimed at showing America's varied fauna and flora, and attract the eye of potential collectors. When she was not painting, Duffey was a gifted essayist, and is credited for being amongst the first feminists that America counted. A strong advocate for equality between men and women specifically, she published several books about women's education, sexual health, and called for a new repartition of gender roles. The present work will be accompanied by a first edition copy of Relations of the Sexes, an essay Duffey published in 1876, and in which she tackled the biological history of the female sex. In this strong-worded manual, Duffey also famously raised the now contemporary issue of female consent, and made waves by considering forced marital sex the equivalent of rape.

    • Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) Still Life with Fruit and Eggs on Tabletop
      Dec. 04, 2022

      Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) Still Life with Fruit and Eggs on Tabletop

      Est: $6,000 - $10,000

      Eliza B. Duffey (American, 1838–1898) Still Life with Fruit and Eggs on Tabletop Signed 'Mrs. E.B. Duffey/1867' bottom right, oil on canvas 14 x 20 in. (35.6 x 50.8cm) Provenance MME Fine Art, LLC, New York, New York. Acquired directly from the above. Private Collection. Christie's, New York, sale of September 28, 2010, lot 116. Acquired directly from the above sale. Private Collection, Florida. Note This rich and well-balanced still-life that Eliza Bisbee Duffey painted and likely exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts fits within the long-established tradition of still life-painting in Philadelphia. Following the footsteps of elders such as Raphaelle Peale or John F. Francis, Duffey presents a tabletop still-life filled with a large array of fruit and vegetables. Judging from their variety and unusual pairing (raspberries and pears don't grow at the same time), paired with the exotic presence of a pineapple in the background, the work aims at celebrating nature's bounty, and the healthy American soil, a popular theme at the time. When she was not painting, Duffey was a gifted essayist, and is credited for being amongst the first feminists that America counted. A strong advocate for equality between men and women specifically, she published several books about women's education, sexual health, and called for a new repartition of gender roles. The present work will be accompanied by a first edition copy of Relations of the Sexes, an essay Duffey published in 1876, and in which she tackled the biological history of the female sex. In this strong-worded manual, Duffey also famously raised the now contemporary issue of female consent, and made waves by considering a forced marital sexual the equivalent of a rape. The relined canvas in overall good condition. With minor, pinpoint restoration in the upper left quadrant and in the bottom left corner (along the left outer edge, up to the corner itself). Very thin line of restoration along the bottom outer edge of the canvas as well. The composition is largely untouched, save for minuscule dots of inpainting seen on the two peaches at center right, on the two plums above, on a grape at upper center right (likely a repaired pinhole), on the apple at the top of the basket at upper center, as well as on some parts of the vine leaves at upper center left. See Specialist's pictures for more details. Frame: 23 1/4 x 29 x 3 1/4 in. To request additional information, please email Raphaël Chatroux at rchatroux@freemansauction.com
