Achille Vertunni 1826-1897 Italian Market in Cairo Signed “A. Vertunni Cairo” (lower right) Oil on canvas Achille Vertunni’s Market in Cairo showcases the vibrant palette that serves as a cornerstone of the artist’s oeuvre. Cairo’s bustling streets and markets were a favorite subject of the Italian artist. At a time when many European men traveled to Italy to participate in the Grand Tour, Vertunni’s paintings of Egypt offered worldly patrons a tantalizing taste of life across the Mediterranean. Further heightened by its meticulously carved wooden frame, Market in Cairo is a very fine example of 19th-century Orientalist painting. This large period frame, comprised of motifs that reference classic Islamic geometry, is intricately carved in breathtaking form. A famed 19th-century art critic once quipped, “I have never seen a painting that would not be improved by a better frame." This painting, heightened by its extraordinarily carved wooden frame, would be the embodiment of that rule. In Market in Cairo, Vertunni paints a compelling and dynamic image of an Egyptian market on the banks of the Nile River. Two men in the foreground rest on the embankment, and one bows under the weight of a woven basket. Towering palms stretch upward into the clear blue sky, making the ten men seated by tents in the background — likely intended to be Bedouins dressed...

Till the Clouds Roll By 1945 Frank Sinatra Mid Century Modern Hollywood Film WPA TILL THE COULDS ROLL BY (Film Set), oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches signed “Richard Whorf” lower right and signed and dated on the verso “R. Whorf/ Dec. 21, 1945. Frame by Hendenryk. ABOUT THE PAINTING This painting is from the collection of Barbara and Frank Sinatra, dated December 21, 1945 (just nine days after Frank Sinatra’s 30th birthday), and depicts the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Culver City backlot during the filming of Till the Clouds Roll By, the direction of the film having been taking over by Richard Whorf in December 1945. It is not presently clear if Whorf gave the Sinatras this painting as a gift, as the presence of the Dalzell Hatfield Galleries label on the verso indicates the painting may have been sourced there. Frank and Nancy Sinatra acquired a number of works from Dalzell Hatfield Galleries during the 1940’s, or perhaps they framed it for the couple. Sinatra performed “Old Man River’ in the film. Sinatra and June Allyson are depicted in the center of the painting. PROVENANCE From the Estate of Mrs. Nancy Sinatra; Dalzell Hatfield Galleries, Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. An image of the Dalzell Hatfield label and the back of the original frame (which we replaced with a stunning Heydenrk frame) are attached. Nancy Sinatra was Fran's first wife. Nancy Rose Barbato was 17 years old when she met Frank Sinatra, an 18-year-old singer from Hoboken, on the Jersey Shore in the summer of 1934. They married in 1939 at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Jersey City where Frank gave Nancy a recording of a song dedicated to her titled "Our Love" as a wedding present. The young newlyweds lived and worked in New Jersey, where Frank worked as an unknown singing waiter and master of ceremonies at the Rustic Cabin while Nancy worked as a secretary at the American Type Founders. His musical career took off after singing with big band leaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey...
