 rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
 expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, 
 in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention 
 of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible 
 for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper 
 foundation.

 days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if 
 the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description.

 should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists 
 of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume 
 or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is

 The bridge crosses the picture in the middle distance, a high light 
 accenting its tall arches just before the structure passes from 
 view behind thick trees of a point of the shore in the foreground 
 on the left. The trees are touched with brilliant red. The rip- 
 pling river is a mirror of reflections, and a sail is seen near the 
 bridge. Beyond is a further point of the shore, thickly wooded.

 565—On a CANnaL 
 
 A spontaneous sketch done for the artist’s delight in the color and 
 the contrasts of light offered. The location doesn’t count, but it 
 seems to be a boat-yard in Venice. An open-ended gray-brown 
 shed with a reddish-brown roof houses a boat on ways, and in a 
 canal alongside are other boats, this quarter in partial shadow; 
 while beyond, the sunlight strikes brightly upon a low white bridge, 
 and on buildings that show terra cotta, red and green.

 LANDSCAPE 
 
 Moonlight from a white full moon struggling through white clouds 
 and just visible over a wooded hilltop is beginning to lighten a 
 peaceful country landscape. The wooded hill in the center gives 
 place on the left to rolling land where thatch-roofed farm build- 
 ings stand, and on the right its flank is partly cleared, while at its 
 foot in the foreground is a pond with ducks. Apparently a French 
 landscape, suggesting those of Michel.

 Clad in buff, with scarlet sickens a bright yellow sash and long- 
 legged boots, a jaunty cavalier stands facing the observer and en- 
 gaged in the act of lighting a long-stemmed clay pipe and blow- 
 ing a lusty cloud of smoke. His hair falls in long curls of ma- 
 hogany color to his shoulders, and he wears a broad, loose white 
 collar and white cuffs. The walls of the room are of stone, and 
 on a long table there is wine. His green hat trimmed with red 
 
 lies on a bench.

 Two lovers of an olden time are found at a rendezvous in a thick 
 and ancient wood. The man, tall and erect, is facing the specta- 
 tor, his head turned toward the lady, who standing at his left ap- 
 pears with figure turned three-quarters from the observer and 
 face in profile. They are near to the trunk of a large tree with 
 far-reaching branches, and the wooer extends his right hand in 
 indication of direction—his dog at his feet ready with him to 
 start at once—while the lady hesitates, studying her upturned 
 palm meditatively, her pet dog on its haunches at her side, looking 
 
 attentively up at her.

 Coming straight forward from around a bend in the middle dis- 
 tance is a dark green canal, its surface lightened near the center 
 by reflections of the sky. Back in the distance rises over it the 
 mass of a city’s buildings, dominated by the truncated tower of 
 a cathedral, spires and high gables projecting here and there and 
 the buildings continuing forward along the canal’s edge on the 
 right. Here also passes a man on horseback, towing a boat, the 
 line hauling from the masthead; the opposite bank of the canal is 
 thickly wooded. To right are low-lying cultivated fields and long- 
 
 armed windmills.

 a lady in blue, is looking at colored plates from an album of beau- 
 ties, and extends a detaining finger toward one picturing a tall 
 and slender lady—she herself being short and plump. A lady in

 Trees and vines in a mass of greenery rise on the left at the end 
 of a short stone bridge, masking its approach and throwing its 
 base into shadow. To right delicate young trees sketch a leafy 
 curtain against a light gray sky, along the line of the bridge, high- 
 roofed buildings being seen beyond them in bright sunshine. Be- 
 neath the bridge runs a brook, at the foot of a steep green bank, 
 and on the nearer foreground shore are varicolored boulders.

 moss-covered rocks on the border of a green meadow for an even-

 water and a white cow stands in the pool looking at the spectator. 
 The little girl is clad in red and blue. In the green foreground 
 at the water’s edge are spots of red amongst the verdure. On the 
 far side of the pool trees with curiously twisted branches and open

 Standing, and seen at full length against a decorative background 
 in low key, a dignified woman in mature life is portrayed in rich, 
 effective costume. She faces the observer, turned slightly toward 
 the right. Her gown, broadly décolleté, is of rich and voluminous 
 purple-gray and greenish-brown velvets, over brownish-gray, elabor-

 The moon, at the full and bright, is heavily veiled by fleecy clouds. 
 The orb is barely distinguishable behind their mass, but its radi- 
 ance diffused in their vaporous substance lightens the cloud curtain 
 before the deep dark blue sky. ‘The landscape below is dark in 
 the shadows of night, streamers of the cloud-vapor hang low over 
 wooded hilltops, like fog, and the moon’s light is reflected in a pool 
 in the valley below.

 of light gleaming amid surfaces of dark, rich patina. A small fire
