Excerpt from Household Furniture, Important Paintings and Objects of Art From the Estate of the Late Carel F. L. De Wild, Expert on Paintings and Professor at the University of Pennsylvania: Dutch Oil Paintings and Water Colors by Bosboom Breitner, Josef Israels, Theophile De Bock L. V. Mettling, Jacob Maris, Anton Mauve, W. Roelofs, H. W. Mesdag; Drawings by Gainsborough and Francois Boucher, a Canvas by Francesco Guardi
Mr. De Wild built his reputation on knowledge and thoroughness, not on publicity. His name very rarely ap peared in the papers when an important painting stirred the casual interest of the reporters or the public, but the ten great collectors who in this country built up collections of masterpieces equalling in quality those of the great museums of Europe, knew that he was their best counsellor. The late J. P. Morgan, the late H. C. Frick and Mr. Joseph E. Widener may be mentioned, among others.
In 1921, Mr. De Wild was entrusted with a professor ship at the University of Pennsylvania for instruction in the Science of Painting and the Care, Preservation and Restora tion of Paintings. It was a tragic destiny that he was never able to enjoy this honor. After two lectures he had to give up his teaching, owing to the disease that had undermined his health and to which he finally succumbed in Larchmont, New York, on May 12, 1922. Those Who came in contact with Mr. De Wild will not forget his simplicity, his integrity and thorough knowledge, and his personal grace and charm.
