 | Paintings of the Kirkpatrick collection 
 Were sold in the American Art Galleries 
 last evening at’ prices capricious and as- 
 tonishing. 
 _ Jules Breton’s ‘Harvest “‘Dime,’’ repre- 
 Senting a tall peasant: woman of the paint- 
 er’s ideal, carrying on her shoulder a sheaf 
 of wheat, brought $3,000. 
 ER The pose of the figure is academic and 
 Wwilful; the colors are dark and not of the 
 fields; a line of red in the background of 
 the picture indicates the setting sun. It 
 veddens slightly the outlines of the figure. 
 | Knoedler & Co, bought the picture. It 
 las the value of scarce works of art that 
 famous men have signed. Breton is old 
 w. He hardly paints; the prefers to write 
 teminiscences and sad comments on the im- 
 pressionists. 
 | Henner’s ‘Little Girl in Blue,” that would 
 have the value of a work of art even if 
 Henner’s works were not scarce, even if 
 his signature were not that of a famous 
 man, brought $2,000. It represents a poor 
 little child with the thin, anaemic face of 
 Patis and the amazing eyes, framed in long 
 ted hait. 
 | The magic of the picture is in the color- 
 ing, expressive of all that lines indicate 
 in other pictures. With it the artist capti- 
 vates all the interest of the composition. 
 it is tender, subtle, harmonious. The buyer 
 of the picture was J. B. Duke |

 tional dress, drinking from a jar held} 
 above his head, $90; Felix Ziem’s ‘‘At the 
 Fountain,” $360. They were, at these) 
 prices, bargains. Chase's work is exquis- 
 ite, Dannat’s palpitating with life, Ziem’s 
 enchanting with brilliancy of color. But of 
 %iem, collectors having a mania for special-| 
 nine expect only Venices in the sun and

 the forest, where the tangle of light and shade was most involved.

 It is now a quarter of a century since Mr. Murphy’s first exhibit in 
 the galleries of the National Academy struck a fresh and original note. 
 With many changes of motive, he has maintained and added to this 
 early reputation ; for, whatever phase of nature he chooses for the time 
 
being, he studies it with keen and sympathetic thoroughness, and records 
 it with a fine feeling for tone, rich or tender, as the case may be.

 After prolonged experience in France, and study under such masters 
 as Daubigny and Harpignies, Mr. Vryon returned to New York in 1881. 
 He secured instant recognition, and has since gained a position at the 
 very head of living American landscape painters. Though he has been 
 the recipient of more than the usual number of honors, he has never 
 yielded to the temptation to rest satisfied with any one style of work, 
 but studies the many-sided aspects of nature with perennial freshness of 
 insight. ‘

 appreciation of artists and collectors. They are characterized especially 
 by fine movement both of water and atmosphere.

 A painter of landscape, but more often of landscape with cows, horses, 
 or sheep that seem a part of it, Mr. Wiggins has always shown a pref-

 in pictures filled with a sense of spaciousness and tranquillity ; on other 
 occasions, as here, with a delight in vigorous phenomena. 
 
 107—Landscape and Sheep 
 
 The sky is loaded with gray blustering clouds, that part a little in —

 Of all the painters who, following the example of Millet, have chosen 
 the peasant for motive, none have succeeded in giving their rendering

 foreigners.
