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.

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. Signed at the lower right, I. Poxrronow, 1887.

He wears a coat and breeches of gray, his arms thrust through holes in the shoulders of the coat, the sleeves dan- gling at his side. A broad-brimmed hat is set above a face which is framed by long curly locks descending upon his shoulders. He raises a flagon to his lips in a toast to some companion near by, and a rapier suspended from a broad leather baldric lies on the table close at hand. Signed at the lower right, EK.

His posture is somewhat ae theatrical, as he stands with one foot advanced, ai i Re head and body thrown back, and both hands Pi i - upraised to mark the cadences of his voice. He is richly dressed in the style of the early Oy ancecntlt century, in white silk doublet and knee breeches; a wide ruff is round his neck, a broad sash of ae si white silk round his waist, and his knees are girt with ribbons.

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. Signed at the lower left, G. B. QuapRon1.

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.

BOSO — Sci: Fads No. 7 JEAN LEON GEROME 1824—1904 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.

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. Signed at the upper left, J. J. HENNER.

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. Signed at the lower left, VuILLErrRoy.

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 gentle glow of evening tones down the more 4 garish colors of the day-time, and the light shining from a sky of tender e azure, in which float a few beautiful masses of white cloud, lends an air of © ; peace to all the scene.

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 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 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.

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. Signed at the lower left, N. Dtaz.

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 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.

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. Signed at the lower left, J.

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.

No. 41 "CHARLES EMILE J Sn eas 1813—1894 | SHEEP AND SHEPHERD On the slope of a hill on which grow a few gnarled and stunted trees as 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 note of movement among the sheep, and a couple are slowly making their * way to a small pool in the foreground. The sky is overcast and threatening, 2 and on the left the sun casts a watery gleam upon the sea, breaking in heavy rollers on the beach. Signed at the lower left, Cu. Jacque.
