PAYSAGE
A DELICATE little picture, showing a stretch of velvety lawn, dotted here
and there with fruit trees, and traversed from left to right by a narrow foot-
path, across which walks a woman in a vivid scarlet skirt. On the left the
ground slopes upward, and on the slight ridge thus formed stands a large
building with a tall tower. To the right a smaller house shows embowered
among the trees, its white walls and gray slate roof looking cool and invit-
ing under the flood of sunshine which pours from out a deep blue sky. The
coloring is brilliant and the painting miniature-like in its delicacy of touch
and accuracy of detail.

THE SPORTSMEN
IN a broad tree-dotted meadow, a part of which is used for the cultivation
of vegetables, two men stand talking to a young boy. Both carry shotguns,
and are evidently in search of game. They gaze earnestly into the distance,
and one of them, with upraised hand, shades his eyes from the glare of the
sun. The boy is pointing out where the quarry has lit, and near by their
dog stands eager to be off. The view extends, bathed in sunshine, to the
blue horizon, and in the middle distance is a glimpse of the waters of a nar-
row river.

THE NATURALIST
AN elderly man in a tall beaver hat, pink tail-coat and knee breeches, stands
with an expression of disgust on his face in a rough patch of ground, beside
a thistle as tall as himself. That he is a naturalist, or rather an entomologist,
is shown by his butterfly net, which lies on the ground beside him, and his
collecting box, which hangs, wide open, by his side. A fox slinks away on
the left, with a little dog snapping at his heels, and a brace of partridges fly
off with shouts of clamorous terror. He has evidently disturbed an impend-
ing tragedy, and is as much startled at the resultant outcry as are the
principals themselves.

THE SULTAN AT PRAYER
THE picture shows the corner of a Mohammedan mosque, on the tessellated
pavement of which stands an old Arab with a flowing white beard, his eyes
and hands upraised in the attitude of prayer. He is clad in a long loose robe
of blue, girt at the waist by a broad sash, and wears over it a long fur-
lined coat. On his head is the green turban of a hadji, which can only |
be worn by those who have made the pilgrimage to the Prophet’s tomb at
Mecca, while his feet are bare, in accordance with Mohammedan ritual. Be-
hind him, sitting cross-legged, is a figure in a flowing robe, with a tall conical
hat on his head, and in the background, beside a lofty column, a poorly clad
man raises to his lips a cup of water taken from a large jar near by.

THE ARTIST’S MODEL
THE picture shows a corner of Geéréme’s
studio, with the plaster model of a statue of a
woman, almost finished, standing on a rough
wooden platform. The artist’s model stands
with her back to the spectator, casting a linen .
cloth over the effigy. She is quite nude, the pink a white de her flesh
affording a pleasing contrast to the dull gray of the statue. On the floor,
close by, the sculptor Géréme washes his tools in a bucket of water, placing
them to dry on an upturned box beside him, and around the walls are hung
suits of armor, model ships and other paraphernalia of a studio.

GIRL WITH THE RED HOOD
ONE of those studies of women, temperamental, mysterious and elusive,
suggestive of the spirit rather than the flesh, in which this artist finds the
expression of his ideals. It is the half-length portrait of a young woman who
sits facing the spectator, her right elbow supported upon a table, her cheek
resting lightly upon the fingers of the right hand. A cloak of scarlet cloth is
thrown around her shoulders and over her head, drawn forward and fastened
closely beneath the chin, framing an oval face, dark-complexioned, with a
mobile mouth and well-formed nose, surmounted by a wealth of dark chest-
nut hair. Her deep brown eyes are full of expression, as they gaze upward
out of the picture to the right. It is painted with a breadth of manner and a
rapidity of execution which has grasped firmly and rendered faithfully the
feeling of mind as well as of body.

THE END OF THE DAY
THE end of a long summer day: a day of wearisome toil under a burning
sun. Over a tract of rough country covered with long coarse grass the dying
sun, just dipping brilliant red beneath the horizon, sends a last ray, which
touches the waters of a small pool in the foreground, imbuing them with a
crimson glow which warms and vivifies the cold gray reflection of the sky
overhead. A team of oxen fastened together by a heavy wooden yoke stands
drinking in the shallow pool, the rippled surface of which reflects their
shapes in grotesque caricatures. At the edge of the pool a young peasant
stands leaning upon a staff, his attitude expressive of weariness and an
intense desire for rest.

AN OLD MILL AT VILLE D’AVRAY
THE calm waters of a mill stream run through the centre of the picture.
On the right a narrow path skirts the top of the embankment, shaded by a
row of willows, beneath which sit a couple of young children. In the back-
ground, stretching across the water and for some distance to the right, are
the mill buildings, an irregular pile of gable ends and red brick walls, wherein
the archways through which the water flows show like darksome caverns.
On the left is the farther bank of the stream, affording a glimpse of sunlit
meadow stretching to the horizon, with a few willow trees growing on the
water’s edge. The sky is asummer blue, partly covered by a few white clouds,
and the smoke from the mill chimney ascends straight into the still air.

GRAY SKIES ON A SUMMER DAY
Tue scene shows a shallow, weedy backwater, with the low-lying banks
running out into the water, and forming a number of islets which lie half-
submerged, showing the green of their vegetation an inch or two above
the surface of the pools. In the centre of the picture a few herons are stand-
ing, searching for their food beneath the limpid water. To left and right
groups of large trees grow close to the water’s edge, while in the centre of
the picture they recede into the dim distance, the varying tones of the
masses of green foliage contrasting with the brighter green of the grass and
the bluish tints of the distant trees. The sky is covered with a curtain of
white clouds, whose beauty is intensified by the glimpses of deep blue
heavens beyond.

FADING LIGHTS
A BROAD river runs across the foreground of the picture, bends to the right,
and is lost to view around a curve of the steep wooded banks. The light of
day is fast disappearing, and the low level clouds which fringe the darkening
sky are flecked here and there with the ruddy glow from a sun which has
already disappeared from view. The bordering trees cast a deep shadow over
the quiet waters, and the river flows on in semi-darkness, relieved only by
the silvery gleam of a wavelet caused by a number of ducks hurrying to-
wards the bushes which fringe the water’s edge. The illusive charm of even-
ing, the flickering of lights and shadows, the variations of the sombre tones
of a large body of water when the borrowed grace of the sunlight is with-
drawn, all these Daubigny shows us here, with the directness and simplicity
of a lover of nature whose life was spent in close communion with all her
diverse manifestations.

THE POOL
In the depths of.a forest of silver birches lies a small clearing, almost circu-
lar in shape, on the nearer side of which is a tiny pool, fringed with tufts
of coarse grass. The silver tones of the tree trunks are strongly accentuated
by broad splashes of light which filters through the interlacing boughs over-
head. The open glade is in full sunlight, and above the branches of the encir-
cling trees a small patch of blue sky, covered with rolling clouds, appears, and
is reflected in the depths of the pool below. The figure of a peasant woman
in white cap and blue apron appears in the middle distance, her back bowed
under the weight of a large bundle, her costume lending a pleasing note of
color to the prevailing tones of the composition.

THE BATHERS
A TENDER little scene, showing in every line the capacity for poetic senti-
ment and engaging frankness so characteristic of the artist. In the golden
glow of a summer day a little group of maidens recline upon the banks of
a river, resting after a dip in the cool waters. Their robes are loosely
gathered round their lower limbs, leaving their shoulders and bosoms bare
to the balmy air. Masses of spring flowers are in their laps, as though they
intend later to weave wreaths for their fair hair. The ground dips to the blue
of the river, and beyond rises gently into rounded hills, their outlines
rendered indistinct by their cloak of verdant forest growth.

EDGE OF THE FOREST
In a picturesque glade on the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau lies a
shallow pool, surrounded with tall yellow grass and sedge, which is ap-
proached across a rough rock-strewn piece of ground by a narrow footpath
leading through a gap in a belt of trees, some of whose branches are faintly
touched with yellow, indicating the approach of autumn. A peasant woman,
her back bowed beneath the weight of a heavy bundle of fagots, crosses the
path in the middle distance. The foliage of the trees stands out clearly against
a summer sky covered with fleecy clouds, their trunks being for the most
part outlined against the darkness of the undergrowth, with here and there
a patch of sunlight accentuating the gloom beyond. The placid waters of
the pool reflect the blue of the sky above and the foliage of the trees on the
farther side.

A RAY OF SUNSHINE
A sANpy road, deep sunk between its confining banks, runs from the right
foreground to the middle distance, where it reaches the level of the sur-
rounding country. The scene extends, a wild stretch of common, until it
‘merges into the blue horizon lying darkling beneath the shadow of the heavy
clouds, behind which the sun has obscured his face, while to right and to left
dense thickets of trees add their shade to the prevailing gloom, their masses
lending balance to the composition. On the right, beneath the shadow of the
trees, stands a lowly one-storied cottage with thatched roof and rough-cast
walls, towards which an old woman is slowly wending her way. Through a gap
in the heavy masses of vapor with which the sky is covered appears a broad
patch of blue near the zenith, whence a ray of sunlight darts down and with
fine dramatic effect illumines a broad patch of road, the scarlet cloak of the
woman and the white wall of the cottage, heightening and accentuating the
impression of an approaching storm.

‘ EVENING LANDSCAPE
THrovuGH the centre of the picture flows a quiet river, on which floats a
small flat-bottomed boat with a single occupant. On the right the form of a
graceful tree rears itself on the water’s edge, and spreads its shadowy branches
across the sky. On the left the bordering meadow extends to a small cottage
in the middle distance, half seen in the dim twilight, and beyond, the ground
rises to the horizon, where it breaks into low hills of graceful outline. The
shades of advancing evening are falling over the scene, and the white shirt
of the boatman stands out vividly in the gathering dusk.

MOONRISE
A vivip and unusual rendering of a phase of nature majestic and awe-
inspiring. The sense of loneliness in the midst of vast spaces, the immen-
sity of earth and sky, overwhelm the mind, as the great orb of the har-
vest moon, rising above the edge of a narrow belt of cloud, shines from a
misty sky, and, half revealing, half concealing the surrounding objects, lends
to them the mystery of deep shadow and forms ill-defined. The details of a
lonely foreshore, the rocks covered with slimy seaweed and the pools of
water between the rocks emerge from the obscurity, and on the left a con-
fused mass of dark shadows gradually assumes the outlines of a small cot-
tage. A broad path of light is cast by the moon across a large pool in the
foreground, and a candle gleams in the cottage window, the only sign of life
in the desolate scene.

THE OLD OAK
(La Riviere)
A cow stands knee deep in a shallow reedy stream which runs through a
flat marshy meadow. Upon the right bank grows a thick clump of trees,
their foliage standing out darkly against the blue and gray of the sky. A
tangled mass of undergrowth surrounds them and obscures the outlines of
their trunks, of which one catches a glimpse here and there. In the middle
distance a grand old oak tree is silhouetted against the horizon, rearing its
head alone above the surrounding country. Subtle contrasts of the pale blue
sky against the gray of the clouds accent and enliven the interest in the
masses of vapor, and serve to harmonize the diverse colors of the scene.

EVENING TWILIGHT
THE picture shows the banks of a wide river, lying glassy still at the end of
a summer’s day. Not a ripple disturbs the surface of the water, save that
made by a small flat-bottomed boat, the occupant of which is leaning over
the side, setting his night-lines. The sun has dipped below the horizon
behind a clump of noble trees on the right of the picture, and its last rays
shine blood-red through the interstices of the lower branches. The sky is
covered by a light film of fleecy cloud, from the under surface of which a
broad patch of light is reflected on to the surface of the water, giving it the
appearance of molten silver, affording a strong contrast with the deep shadow
cast by the trees and low-lying bank of the stream. The whole scene breathes
an air of ineffable peace and calmness.

EVENING IN THE FOREST—FONTAINEBLEAU
A LARGE pool extends across the picture from right to left, lying darkling
in the shadow of a dense forest of lofty trees which grow close up to its
farther bank. In the foreground the trees have receded somewhat from the
water’s edge, leaving a natural clearing which is thickly grown with deep
green mossy grass and studded here and there with large boulders, the
lighter tones of which stand out strongly in the prevailing gloom. The time
is near evening, and on the right the crystal clearness of the sky is tinged
with the ruddy glow of the departing sun.

A Broan, flat meadow stretches across the picture, dotted with shady trees, 4 :
and extending as far as the eye can see till it reaches a line of blue hills in
the far distance. It is early summer, and the vegetation is rank and lush;
every leaf is full and juicy, and the uncertain skies give promise of frequent 9
showers. In the foreground a large red cow lies full face to the spectator, — =
her head somewhat raised, her flanks enjoying the sunlight which plays fall
upon her. Close behind her is a companion, white with a brown head, and
others are scattered here and there, standing or lying, feeding or placidly rumi-

VERDANT PASTURES
THE time is early spring; the grass is green and juicy, every leaf is full
of sap, and the vegetation as yet unscorched by the parching breath of
summer. Ankle deep in the shallow waters of a little river which runs
across the foreground of the picture, makes an abrupt turn on the right
round a clump of trees, and disappears in the distance, stand two fine cows,
one red and the other white. Lazily they nuzzle at each other in the full sun-
shine, their tails swinging from side to side, while their flanks seem to heave
with lazy enjoyment. In the background a number of other cows are crop-
ping the long grass, while one of their number is slowly approaching the
drinking place. The view extends over a level meadow to a line of dark trees
on the horizon, with here and there one taller than its fellows standing out
against the sky, which is covered with a bank of heavy gray clouds, except
for a broad patch of blue at the zenith.

small flock of sheep are busy cropping the short blades of grass. Near at hand
a tall peasant in blue blouse and sabots, guardian of the flock, sits upon the ©
ground, half leaning upon his staff, and gazing towards the open sea, which, —
hidden by the shoulder of the hill, extends upon the left to the horizon. Be-
side him sits his dog, a thin, black beast of nondescript ancestry. There is a Sh
