It represents two celestial beings, in long flowing robes painted to give the effect of feathers, walking beside a small stream, on whose rocky banks flowers grow before their footsteps. As they advance, one playing a lyre, the other singing from a long parchment roll held in her hands, a number of eight- winged cherubim descend in a blaze of glory from the skies, hovering just above the angels’ heads. The latter walk with wings half spread, one in all the purple and golden glory of the peacock’s plumage, the other with brown pinions, with the softer feathers of red and gold.

On the right is a broad wharf, with a flight of steps leading to the water’s edge, upon which groups of men and women are promenading.

MARSHALL (Illustrated on opposite page) Tuis is a well-known example, and is illustrated and described in the recently published “Life of Sir William Beechey, R.A.,” by W. Roberts. | It is a very striking portrait of a beautiful Englishwoman, painted at the most attractive time of life. The composition is excellent, and the skill of the painter shows the grace and re- finement of the sitter to the best advantage, while the color scheme is delicate and chaste. It represents a lady seated in a reclining position upon a sofa, supporting herself upon her right elbow. She wears a loose white robe, open at the neck to disclose the contour of a finely moulded throat, and confined below the bust by a narrow crimson ribbon. A pink scarf is thrown over one shoulder and falls to the floor, the curve which it assumes following and accentuating the graceful lines of the figure and the rounded limbs, the outline of which can be seen beneath the soft clinging material of her dress. A pet dog sits beside her on the sofa, and a jewel box and a muslin dress are on a table near at hand. Height, 50 inches; width, 40 inches. Formerly in possession of Messrs. P. & D. Cotnacui & Co., London. | Beechey was a great favorite with the royal family, and was for many years instructor to the princesses. The most famous painting of this artist is perhaps the great “‘ George III Reviewing His Troops,” which is now at Hampton Court, and for which he was knighted. No. 74 JEAN JOUVENET 1644—1717 VERTUMNUS VISITING POMONA IN THE GUISE OF AN OLD WOMAN AN incident from the mythical story of the nymph Pomona, who devoted so much time to her fruit trees that she had none to spare for her lovers. Vertumnus, her most ardent admirer, visited her one day in the guise of an old woman, and drawing an allegory from the vine growing upon the tree and the use- lessness of one without the other, persuaded her to unite her- self with him. The scene shows a garden surrounded with fine trees in full foliage. On the left Pomona leans upon a pedestal, her pruning knife in her hand. She is clad in a classic robe of yellow, girt at the waist by a broad blue sash. Close by, Ver- tumnus, in the likeness of an old woman, a scarlet cloak thrown over her blue dress, stands leaning on a staff. His outstretched right hand points to the wine entwined upon the oak tree over Pomona’s head, while the latter makes a deprecatory gesture with her left hand. Behind Vertumnus is a small cupid holding a mask before his laughing face. Height, 78 inches; width, 42 inches. Vga fll nA ee es Sr Kes a —9e No. 75 GEORGE ROMNEY 1734—1802 DAVID GARRICK AND MRS. SIDDONS AS ROMEO AND JULIET In the delineation of these, perhaps the greatest actor and actress who have as yet trod the English-speaking stage, the genius of Romney, always inclined toward the emotional and romantic, has found full scope to display itself at its best. Be- side a broken urn, inscribed with the name of Capulet, the ill- fated lovers stand, the young man’s arm around her waist, her two hands clasping his left hand to her bosom, while her eyes seek comfort from his. Juliet is clad in a simple white gown of soft, clinging material, a gauze veil surmounting her soft brown hair, which falls in long curls upon her shoulders. Romeo is habited entirely in black silk, with a lace collar round the throat, his sword depending from a rich silver baldrick set with jewels. He stands with his left leg well advanced, in a posture as if he would defend the girl against all comers. Upon the ground at their feet lies a golden goblet and a napkin, as if they had been dropped there when the lovers were surprised. The expression of timidity and helplessness upon Juliet’s face: and Romeo’s look of despair are rendered with extraordinary - subtlety. The background shows a wooded landscape under a gloomy sky.

No. 76 FRANCIS COTES, R.A. 1726—1770 PORTRAIT OF LADY HERTFORD A BEAUTIFUL portrait of the lady, the face painted with a sympathetic touch, while the flesh tints are rendered with great fidelity. The pose is graceful, and the whole composition shows the artist at his best. The lady is shown life size, standing with one foot on a blue velvet cushion. She leans her right arm on a marble ped- estal, her whole body slightly inclined in that direction, while her left arm rests on a balustrade beside her. Her dress is of simple white satin, unadorned save for a knot of blue ribbon with a large pearl drop on her bosom, and a narrow belt set with precious stones about her waist. A red cloak lined with rich ermine is thrown over the pedestal and balustrade, on which she leans, and falls to the ground at her feet. Her arms are bare from the elbow, and in her uplifted right hand she holds a small feather fan. The background shows a red cur- tain, looped up to disclose a marble column and a glimpse of trees and a cloudy sky beyond. Height, 89 inches; width, 55 inches.
