Provenance: Babcock Galleries, New York City, listed in the Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog.
Note: An artist before the Civil War began, Alfred Thompson spent a year as an artist-correspondent; his drawings were published in Harper's Weekly and the Illustrated London News. He studied in Paris until 1868, when he returned to New York and exhibited at the National Academy of Design. Over the years he sold 125 paintings through the National Academy and exhibited in such prestigious locations as the Brooklyn Art Association and the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. One of his paintings, Cannonading on the Potomac, is now located in the collection of the White House.

924. Alfred Wordsworth Thompson (American, 1840-1896), "No Fool Like an Old Fool", oil on canvas, signed and dated "1868" lower left, 8 1/2 in. x 11 5/8 in. $4000/6000
Provenance: Babcock Galleries, New York City, listed in the Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog.
Note: This painting and the preceding, were created in 1868, after Thompson's studies in Paris were complete, and are satirical in their subject matter. Thompson was almost certainly aware of the paintings and prints of Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), whose caricatures and sardonic works were well known throughout France. Indeed, Bringing Papa Home and No Fool Like an Old Fool bring to mind the many satirical works of Daumier and the English artist William Hogarth (1697-1764).

925. Milada Maresová (Czech, 1901-1987), "The Banjo Dance", oil on canvas, signed lower left, 22 in. x 30 in., framed, together with signed copies of "Svatebni Kosile - The Spectre's Bride" from 1930, and "Arabske Biblicke Tradice", both with illustrations by Maresová. $1200/1800
Note: Maresová's early success as a painter was overshadowed by her later political difficulties. She initially enrolled at the local School of Decorative Arts before attending the Prague Academy, studying under the Austrian-born Vojtech Hynais (1854-1925). In 1923 she moved to Paris where she apprenticed with František Kupka (1871-1957), an early proponent of the abstract art movement. Marešová debuted in Prague in 1925 at the prestigious Topicuv Salon and continued to exhibit in local galleries for the next several years.
In the late '20s and '30s, she supplemented her income by working as an illustrator for a variety of journals, including one which had been banned by the government. Arrested and convicted by the Gestapo, she was sentenced to 12 years in the women's penitentiary. During her incarceration, Maresová continued to draw and upon her release she illustrated children's books. She did not return to painting until the '60s.
In 2008 the Moravska galerie (Moravian Gallery) in Brno, Czech Republic featured a solo exhibition of her work.
