Provenance

The Estate of N. David Scotti, Providence, Rhode Island

N. David (Nino) Scotti (1941-2008)

As a teenager, Nino Scotti began attending estate auctions with his mother. These trips no doubt inspired alove of history and its artifacts, and he joined the Rhode Island Historical Society at the young age of 14. Witha voracious appetite for reading, a great memory and a discerning eye, he was self-taught in the areas of theChina Trade, American silver, and maritime paintings. A tireless researcher, he possessed an extensiveknowledge of Rhode Island history and genealogy. While still a young man, Nino and an associate foundedAssociated Appraisers, Inc., in downtown Providence, where they conducted estate auctions attended bydealers and wealthy clients. According to his obituary in the Providence Journal, Nino's “acerbic banter” wasa highlight of the auctions held there, and he “prided himself on being able to conduct, with gavel in hand,what were usually twelve- or fourteen-hour auctions with nary a break and only a sip or two of ginger ale,” afact corroborated by a number of Skinner buyers.

Additionally, “he was generous with his expertise, examining and appraising antiques and artifacts.” RecallsStephen Fletcher, "When Bob Skinner and I saw Nino entering the gallery, we could count on having aninteresting and lively conversation about the things we had in common--antiques and art. We respected andadmired his diverse knowledge and valued him as a friend and colleague" and are pleased to be offering hiscollection at Skinner.

254.William Bradford (American, 1823-1892)

Arctic Sunset with the Ice-Bound Panther. Signed and dated [18]75 l.r. Oil on artist’s board, 9 x 13 3/4 in., in original ornate gilt-gesso frame. Condition: Very good, uncleaned, light scratch on left, minor craquelure, frame rub upper and left edges.

Provenance: A note affixed to the reverse of the frame is inscribed: “For Minnie Ida Reynolds/Painted by Wm Bradford for my NewYear’s present-/Jan. 1st 1876.”

Provenance: According to family lore, this painting passed from Minnie Reynolds through the family to the present owner. MinnieIda (Conant) Reynolds (1867-1952) was the daughter of Prelet Drake Conant (Sept. 23, 1833-March 23, 1900) and Jane MonroeRounds (1825-December 16, 1905), a wealthy socialite couple living in Fall River, Massachusetts. Prelet was involved in insurance,real estate, and stocks and was a justice of the peace. He was one of the directors of Laurel Lake Mills, a textile mill in Fall River,which operated from 1881 to 1931. Jane was a patroness of the arts and she hosted gatherings with local artists, including WilliamBradford. Even as a child, Minnie greatly enjoyed and appreciated art, so much so that at a New Year’s party held by her mother onJanuary 1, 1876, William Bradford gave her a painting of his as a gift. Minnie was only eight years old at the time. Minnie latermarried Ralph Reynolds. They never had any children, and Minnie doted on her grand-nephew William Sidney Bateman, Jr. (1899-1967), the grandson of her sister Mary Jane Conant Neill. On her death, Minnie bequeathed her William Bradford painting to him,who passed it down to the present consignor.

Note: William Bradford began his career painting ship portraits in New Bedford, Massachusetts, across the harbor from hisbirthplace of Fairhaven. In 1861 he traveled to Labrador to study and paint icebergs. He returned to the Arctic several times, andin 1869, he set out on his most ambitious voyage. With the financial backing of a New York businessman, Bradford chartered hisown bark, the Panther, a converted sealing vessel and enlisted the help of two Boston photographers who documented the trip,while he sketched and painted. The result was hundreds of sketches and more than 300 photographs of arctic scenes, 141 ofwhich were included in his 1873 book, The Arctic Regions, published in London. His body of work that resulted from his Arcticvoyages gained Bradford worldwide acclaim, so much so that Queen Victoria commissioned him to paint an Arctic scene that wasshown at the Royal Academy in 1875. Afterward, he traveled extensively giving lectures and slide shows about the Arctic. Heeventually opened a studio San Francisco to paint the natural wonders of the American West, but it is his Arctic scenes that remainhis legacy.
