Olivier was one of the actresses of the “Royal,” the Na- tion’s theatre under the First Republic. The attractive and thoughtful young woman appears at half-length and almost full face, life size, and leaning forward and to her left, so that her head rests upon her left hand, as her left elbow finds support on a table in front of her. Her luxuriant blonde hair falls lightly over her temples and in loose ringlets beside her full throat. It is crowned with a blue head-dress and feathers, and her filmy white gown, cut low and short sleeved, is trimmed and girdled in pale plue. Her eyes are blue and her cheeks a pale rose. : From the American Art Association Sale, New York, 1895 From the Robert Hoe Collection, New York, 1911.

The spiritual face and head, elongated a little by the mysticism of the painter, is crowned with a pointed Flemish cap underneath which fall at their side straying locks of fair hair; in the ears are pendant earrings, at the throat an- other jeweled ornament, though the expression, save for a loose- ness in the mouth, is more that of an ascetic than of a dame du monde.

It is one of my works to which I de- voted great care. The place is well known on the coast of the Mediterranean, near the Gulf of Juan. I believe that I have painted it with spirit and a good deal of life, for the the site is a very grand one. . Accept my sincerest compliments. (Signed) H. Harpieniegs. This is indeed a superb spot, full of grandeur as M. Harpignies says, and a noble tree worthy of its surroundings. We look up, an emerald canopy screens the sky, supported by the sturdy grey limbs and branches of the great tree. We look beneath the huge, umbrageous_arch, to find the sunlight brilliant on the nearby shore of the glowing, sapphire sea. Distant coast lines rise vaguely and low in a sky suffused with a yellowish white light. In front of all this, the foreground is a carpet of rich, luxurient verdure. A brighter emerald than the arch above, threaded by a woodland road leading to the. blue gem, which is the sea, its shaded courses spotted with sunlight filtering through the interstices of the foliage aloft and lesser trees are assembled as a retinue at a little distance from the monarch.

Purchased from the descendants of the Simpson family, Mr, Charles Simpson, Riverside, Boston, Mass. Mr. William Roberts, London, writes as wollows about this painting (on back of photo which goes with the picture) : “This is undoubtedly to my mind a very characteristic open air sketch in oils by John Constable, R. A., of Hampstead Heath, which he painted in all the moods and at various times of the day. It is full of what may be called the Constable atmosphere and reminds us of Lady Morley’s expression on seeing one of his pictures, ‘How fresh, how dewy, how exhilarating.’ “Tt is clearly a picture of a stormy summer’s day, and it is extremely reminiscent of a Heath engraved by David Lucas for Constable’s English Landscape Scenery; it was painted about the same time as the original of that engraving. “London, August 28, 1924. “(Signed) W.
