In a retreat amid trees and rocks, with a classic temple suggested in the distance, golden-haired Venus reclines on a rock, facing the spectator. She has allowed her blue mantle to fall away until it conceals only one of her limbs, at the approach of Cupid who comes in the company of her rival of darker beauty, and not less abundant figure, dark-eyed Juno. The wife of Jupiter, and jealous loser to Venus in the amorous eyes of Paris, has come, wearing a diadem and a purple mantle, which, dropping low, leaves her torso nude. She draws back in some surprise and resentment, at the sight of the blond revelation of her rival, while Cupid, master of the hour, leans on his bow with a placid, contented smile, looking at neither, but serenely optimistic in the thoughts reflected in his complacent features.

Here is a sterling study of his favorite animal by the great cattle painter, and the only picture which Van Marcke ever painted out of doors. The white cow stands almost athwart the canvas. She had been going away toward the left, but has turned to look back. The sun, at the left, and out of the picture, was high overhead, and cast the shadow of the bovine’s head and horns upon her foreshoulder. The expression, the drawing, and the quality of the painting in the animal’s coat, are all remarkably vital. So, too, is the grass, in the quality of its green; the air, and the atmosphere of outdoors (all with no “spottiness’’). At the left a black cow is lying on the sward, and at the right a cow of fulvous coat is standing, looking away.

His driver is using his whip and send- ing the team ahead at their topmost speed to escape the pursuing wolves, while the officer, gun in hand, turns to watch what is next coming be- hind. He has just shot one wolf, which has fallen and rolled upon its back beside the troika. Signed at the lower left, Ad.

A great gorge, carpeted with emerald-green grass and bushes sustains tall trees of lace-work foliage, almost as deep in hue, which struggle up- ward toward the free light above the rocky walls. At either side the precipitous cliffs which bound the gorge are partly blanketed by the hardy trees which find a footing in their crevices, and at the foot of the left-hand wall runs a brook that quickly loses itself in growths of bushes. Beyond the tops of distant, abundant trees, one sees a bright blue sky, with dull clouds, silver-edged in the sunlight.

A sudden black storm has come up on a fair day. At the left is blue sky with kindly gray clouds over country buildings still in the sun- light. To the right the whole heavens are over- swept by dense nimbus clouds of ominous inten- sity. ‘Two officers have impressed a partly laden farm wagon drawn by three horses—a white, a dapple gray and a bay—to get them to shelter, and the driver is whipping his horses to a run to keep ahead of the squall. Two panting dogs have paused for a lap of water at a pool beside the road, and beyond, a horseman with two horses also flees the storm. Signed at the lower right, O. de Thoren. No. 70 ETIENNE ADOLPHE PIOT FRENCH THE BASKET OF FLOWE be b68o-+7 Height, 36 tiches: wyfth, 24 inches. Fair and young, with abundant blond tresses crowning her head in puffs and floating over her nude shoulders, a maiden is seated facing left and looking straight at the spectator, her pink lips pursed in a sweet and arch smile. She is shown at three-quarters length on a deep blue coverlet against a dull red background. Her inner garment has fallen below her shoulder, the lower part of her body is enwrapped in a pink robe, and a wispy lace scarf is twined about her arms. She has plucked a pink rose from a basket of flowers which she has received, and holds it coquettishly at her breast. Honorable Mention, Paris, 1878. a Height, 5834 inches; width, 451, inches. Two small but hardy girls, one dark-haired and of a gypsy cast, the other of the blond peasant type, are pictured, almost life size, dancing on the green turf—the background a comprehensive landscape with a lake in the distance. The girls are bare-footed and the dark one, who faces front, is smiling happily. She wears a heavy gold bead necklace—the Neapolitan woman’s personal sav- ings bank—and loop earrings to match. Her companion’s only jewelry is hairpins. ‘Their cos- tumes are rich and varied in color and of diverse materials. Signed at the lower right, L. Perrault, 1879. AMERICAN ArT ASSOCIATION, Tuos. E.
