A set of four hand-coloured intaglio aquatint ‘American Polo Scene’ prints by the American artist, Paul Brown, titled ‘On the Boards’, ‘The Save’, ‘The Goal’ and ‘Down the Field’; each signed to the lower left. Dimensions of each 24 x 17 inches (61 x 43 cm). Plate size: 12.5 x 20 inches. Printed on imported handmade paper. Titles engraved in the same style as other sets of American Sporting scenes published by The Derrydale Press, 1930. Only 175 signed proofs were produced of each print, which makes a bona fide set of four rare and valuable.

The Marblehead Bracelet, inspired by the cotton Turk’s-head bracelet, is made of thousands of tiny pearls, tightly woven together, and clasped with a fourteen karat gold safety clasp. It took nearly two years to develop and perfect the construction technique for the Marblehead Bracelet.

Few places in the world have more sailing tradition than does Marblehead, Massachusetts, the Yachting Capital of America and the birthplace of the American Navy.

The Marblehead Bracelet reflects those traditions in its twelve strands of pearls and Turk’s-head knotting and, it is a tribute to the wonderful people of Marblehead, who were so kind and supportive of the designer, during her many years there.

Andréa Witherwax is the creator of the Marblehead Bracelet.

Sporting Art and Landscape Periods
Like the great horse painters George Stubbs and Frederic Remington, Jenness Cortez is first and foremost an extraordinary draftsman. Beginning in 1977, and for the next twenty years, she received international acclaim for her sporting paintings and her powerful depictions of the horse. During the mid 1990s, her long-time interest in landscape began to blossom. In the tradition of the 19th century Hudson River and Barbizon School painters, her vision comprehends all of nature as a manifestation of the divine. Cortez’s landscape images evoke a certain transcendent quality rarely seen in contemporary realism. Her representations of the phenomenal world are sensitive, passionate and deeply moving.

Cortez’s clients are knowledgeable and include important collectors known for their ability to choose artists whose careers become legendary. Her work is in numerous public and private collections including those of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, HRH Queen Elizabeth, II, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Alexander, Mr. Edgar Bronfman, Ms. Virginia Kraft Payson, Ambassador True Davis, Mr. Henry Kravis, Mr. Ogden Mills Phipps, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Congressman Gerald Solomon, Gov. George Pataki, Gov. Hugh Carey, Atlanta Braves general manager John Schuerholz and Mr. Jerry Weintraub. Public and corporate collectors include the New York State Museum, Fluor Corporation, Saratoga Harness, Inc., Skidmore College and SUNY Empire State College

About the Collection

The Millbrook Hunt is one of the most attractive hunts in the United States, and their hunt country is perhaps the most beautiful open land anywhere in the world. Knowing this, and wanting to continue in the manner of artists who have used the Hunt as their subject matter, Kathy Landman spent a year on foot following the hunt. Beginning in the early fall with roading the young hounds, through late winter, when the pack working in concert like a finely tuned orchestra, would raise their voices in full cry, Landman witnessed many moments of beauty and inspiration for this, her first series of prints on the Millbrook Hunt.

Landman’s  artistic process is both photographic and painterly. Kathy combines pictures and drawings into seamless photo realistic images which she prints on her press using archival pigments and Hanemuhle German Etching Paper. Each of the large prints in this series is signed, numbered and embossed and limited to an edition of ten. The complete set of 12 prints is available as a boxed set, or can be ordered individually. Additional images from A Season with the  Millbrook Hunt and A Visit to Millbrook Kennels can be viewed at The Chisholm Gallery in Pine Plains and custom ordered. For pricing and availability, please request a price list via email.
