 THE KOHN. COLLECTION. 
 
 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
 
 New York Herald, Nov. 13th. 
 
 / a admirable collection of cabinet pictures, the property of Mr. Adolf Kohn, 
 is cn exhibition at the Leavitt Art Gallery,in Broadway. Itis composed of some 
 six y canvases from the easels of well known Kuropeanartists. Somefew works 
 are by Americans; but for the most part the collection is made up of small genre 
 - subjects, in which our native school of art has not as yet made any remarkable 
 _ progress. Among the more important works are ‘‘ A Persian Woman and Child,” 
 ; painted by Diaz in his younger days. . This artistis best known by his landscapes ; 
 
 but this ‘‘ Persian Woman and Child”’ makes us regret that he was forced to 
 abandon figure subjects by the failure of his sight. Both figures are painted 
 with great strength and decision. 
 
 ‘The color treatment is at once rich and tender and full of harmony. An ad- 
 mirable little picture by the lamented Escosura, full of humor, represents a mus- 
 + keteer examining his helmet, which has been hit in the side by a bullet. As the 
 _ soldier looks at the dent he is evidently congratulating himself that the ball 
 _ did not happen to strike a few inches lower, in which case his head would have

 painter, is represer*ed by a small landscape full of delicacy, brightness and grace. 
 itis asimple bit of wood and water with a glimpse of sky, the whole bathed in 
 
 t 
 
 3 the silvery, vaporous atmosphere of morning, aud exhaling a dreamy, poetic 
 feeling. Daubigny, on the other hand, is the painter of the hard facts pf nature. 
 Everything in his landscape is positive and pronounced. His trees are solid, and 
 the green of the foliage is so intense that they seem to receive no sunshine. This 
 picture is simple, forcible and unpretending. It is a bit taken from the severer 
 
 _ gide of nature and given without reference to whether it pleases or not. A re-

 It is finished with wonderful! dexterity. Corot, the great French landscape 
 
 : markable little picture by Vollon deserves attention. It is ‘‘A Distant View 
 of Paris.” it is scarcely a foot square, and yet gives us an admirable view of the 
 _ broad river and the mass of jumbled houses which make up the great city. The 
 local color is admirably maintained and combined with a daylignt effect of un- 
 . usual force. It has also the qualities of minute finish, with great breadth of 
 treatment. Seldom have we seen immense space so successfully expressed in a 
 
 _ work of such small dimensions. Vibert’s ‘‘ Pompejian Woman” will introduce 
 the American public to a class of worx we do not often see from this artist’s easel. 
 _ Itrepresents asemi-nude woman fishing on the banks of a river. ‘The composition — 
 - isremarkable for its purity and grace. The figure of the woman is exquisitely — 
 drawn, the modelling of the form round and firm, while the color treatment leaves 
 . nothing to be desired except that the artist should do more of this class of work. 
 As we are engaged venting regrets, we cannot help expressing our surprise” tha 
 an artist capaple of painting “ the Young Lady,’’ which we owe to M. Linder, of _ 
 ' Paris, does not devote his talents to something better in the way of subject. 
 This work is painted with remarkable torce and solidity. The brushing is free 
 and bold, with a finish that shames the careful minuteness of other men. Th 
 _ fiesh tones are very deep and transparent, while the embroidered garment is 
 - maarvel of dexterous execution. ; 
 Jt is at once brilliant in color, simple and exquisitely fanciful in design. Th

 are other works by celebrated artists, like Toulmouche, Achenbach, De Cock, 
 Fornari, Mei, Sell, Girard, Madrazo, Kaemmerer, Moreau, Simonetti, Flamm, 
 Bellows, Col, Aubert, and others we have not space to mention. The works are 
 almost exclusively cabinet size, and display an evenness in quality that reflects 
 credit on the taste of their collector. We understand that the sale takes place 
 in consequence of the owner’s departure for iurope. 
 
 New York World, November 13th. 
 
 A very fine collection of paintings, the property of Mr. Adolf Kohn, was ex- 
 hibited last evening at the Leavitt Art Gallery, 817 Broadway, preparatory to 
 their sale at auction on Thursday next. The gallery included about sixty works 
 of art, nearly all of cabinet size, from the easels of some of the best known 
 French, English, German, and Spanish masters. There are also scattered among 
 these canvases several works by American artists of reputation. The most con- 
 spicuously meritorious painting is Diaz’s ‘‘ Persian Lady and Child,” No. 49, 
 Which is remarkable for its soft, rich tone and careful handling. It is unques- 
 tionably a very valuable specimen of this well-known artist’s school, and attract- 
 ed a great deal of attention last evening. Aubert has an idyl of much imagina- 
 tive beauty, and ‘lissot and Moreau are well represented by rustic scenes. Kzem- 
 merer’s ‘‘ innocence,”’ 46, is noticeably fine in color and poor in drawing. A 
 small Corot (landscape) is one of the most characteristic pictures in the drawing. 
 Bold, vague, and audacious, it is unmistakably genuine, no one having the skill 
 or the bravery to successfully imitate this master. De Haas, Church, and Ken- 
 sett represent the American contributions, and Bellows the English. The Ken- 
 sett is a charming spring composition, rather crude and careless, but neverthe- 
 less breathing a vernal atmosphere of great beauty. Baron Leys, Escosura, 
 Calame, Fiamm, Rossi, Linder, Dupre, De Cock, Montfallet, and Achenbach are 
 also very creditably represented by small pictures, all of which are of merit. 
 
 Lhe collection is geuerally a very interesting one, comprising a very large num- 
 ber of subjects and taking in nearly all the modern schools. A large assemblage 
 of critics and buyers was present during the eyening, and expressed a great deal 
 of satisfaction at the exhivition. 
 
 New York Evening Express, November 13th. 
 
 One of the finest collection of paintings that have been put on exhibition for 
 some time is that of Adolf Kohn, now to be seen at the Leavitt Art Rooms, 817 
 Broadway, and to be disposed of on ‘uesday next. Among the pictures, the 
 majority of which are of cabinet size, are works from the easels of Corot, Dau- 
 bigay, Viaz, Toulmouche, Calame, Lissot, Baron Leys, and other foreign painters, 
 waile American art is represented by Church, Kensett, Bellows, DeHaas, and W. 
 IT. Richards. Mr. Kohn has evidently selected his pictures with refinement and 
 knowledge, and the result is a splendid collection. 
 
 Brooklyn Eagle, November 13th. 
 
 A collection of modern pictures of cabinet-size, and representing many of the 
 greatest names of artists of tue Wrench and German scnools of art, was opened 
 tor exibition at the Leavitt Art Rooms, No. 817 Broadway, New York, last even- 
 ing. ‘Lhese paintings are usually known as cabinet gems, and that they are 
 worthy to be so designated will be admitted by all who may be so fortunate as 
 to have an opportuuity to study their admirable qualities. The gallery was 
 tormed by Mr. Adolf Kohn, of No, 1 Hast Kourteenta Street, New York, tor his 
 own gratification during the past ten years, and is now to be sold, owing to his 
 early departure jor mHurope, wuere he contemplates sojourning for severai years. 
 ‘he coliection is interesting in every department of art, and embraces works in 
 landscape, tigures, stiil-lite, and marine views. 
 
 in water-colors there are two works of brilliant character by Rossi and Simo- 
 netti, who are known as the greatest colorists of the Roman school of art. but 
 it is in Oil-paintings that the yallery is peculiarly rich and atiractive. ‘Lnere is a 
 little picture by Montiallet, or a cavalier testing his sword as it preparing fora 
 duel. i'ne figure is cleverly drawn and painted with exquisite feeling ; and a warm, 
 rich tone or color pervades the subject, the delicacy and refineinent of which 
 we have rarely seen excelled upon canyas, Krom the easel of Appian there is a 
 landscape composition of girls bathing. ‘I'his is a remarkable picture ; the figures 
 are charmingly introducea, and the earnest artistic feeling sown in the iand- 
 
3 
 
 scape and its trees and shrubbery, in connection with the foreground group, is 
 worthy of the highest praise. David Col, the great German painter, is repre- 
 sented by a humorous subject, very expressive in its story, entitled ‘‘ Reading 
 the News from the Seat of War.”’ It is painted with marvelous care. 
 
 Adrien Moreau has a brilliant landscape scene, in which four young ladies 
 appear as ramblers and gathering field flowers. This is a delightfully treated 
 picture—the figures are charming, and the sunlight effect, with which the can- 
 vas fairly glows, is exquisitely rendered. Another superb picture, entitled 
 ** After a Storm,’’ by Andreas Achenbach, is one of the most powerful works by 
 that artist that we have recently seen. There are some quaint old mills, with 
 great water-wheels in the foreground, the painting of which is rendered with 
 more than ordinary force, and this, in connection with the breaking storm and 
 the suggestive landscape surroundings, is as realistic in its story as a study 
 from nature. There are, also, a fresh and vigorous landscape, by Victor Dupre ; a 
 river bank scene, noticeable for its fine atmospheric effect and silvery-toned sky, 
 by Karl Daubigny ; and other landscapes by the great artists, Corot, Flamm, 
 and Hildebrand. 
 
 De Haas is represented by a harbor view of extraordinary power, giving a 
 view of the ‘‘ Port of Dover.”’ This picture was originally painted for Mr. Bel- 
 mont, of New York, and is a fine representative work. Another work, and a 
 veritable cabinet gem, is “‘ A Passing Storm,’’ by Frederic E. Church. It is a 
 mere effect from nature, but so vividly rendered that it will command universal 
 admiration. Edward Allen Schmidt, the eminent Dusseldorf artist, has two at- 
 tractive pictures in the collection, ‘‘A Smoker,’ painted with great breadth, 
 and yet showing marvelous brilliancy of color and detail; and ‘‘'The Head ofa 
 Monk,” which is also treated with vigor, and is really an artistic work. There 
 are also two cabinet pictures by Escosura, one of two figures, a beautiful sub- 
 ject, and charmingly painted ; and a scene in a court-yard of a fort or castle 
 under bombardment. A handsome young man-at-arms in the foreground has 
 been hit by a bullet on the helmet, and appears astonished at the shock. His 
 action, as may be inferred, is expressive, and his figure, as well as the various de- 
 tails of the work, shows superb execution. 
 
 Toulmouche, who is also a leading artist of the French school, is represented 
 by the charmingly drawn figure of a young lady with a bouquet. The subject 
 is richly colored and highly finished. Representing the name of J. G. Vibert, 
 there is a fine example of art, giving the figure of a half-nude woman, which is 
 remarkable for the delicate purity of its flesh-tints and its rich tones of color 
 generally. Diaz also makes a brilliant display of his power as a colorist in his 
 figures of ‘‘A Persian Woman and Child ;”’ and Linder, of Paris, has a work of 
 rare beauty, giving a figure of a young lady, in which the details of costume are 
 carefully painted, and exemplify the most delightful harmony of color through- 
 out. There are other enjoyable pictures by Hiddemann, Kaemmerer, Firmin 
 Girard, Aubert, Xavier DeCock, Madrazo, Lambron, Christian Sell, of Dussel- 
 dorf, the celebrated painter of soldiers and battle scenes ; Brillouin, Jos. Tissot, 
 and others of equal renown. 
 
 The collection will remain on free exhibition, day and evening, until Thurs- 
 day next, the 19th instant, when it is to be sold at auction, beginning at 7:30 
 P. M., without any reservation whatever.

 There is a collection of good cabinet pictures now on exhibition in the pleas- 
 ant and airy gallery of Leavitt & Co. on Broadway, where everything always 
 looks its best. They consist in great part of the private gallery of Mr. Adolf 
 Kohn, and several others of the same kind are added. The collection will well 
 repay an hour’s loitering on the way down town. The specimens are all respect- 
 able, and some of them are by famous hands. There is a Corot, a cool, light 
 green, smeary sketch, which will doubtless be greatly appreciated at the sale; 
 two good landscapes by Daubigny, and a charming little piece by Dupré. Mad- 
 razo has a slight but excellent study of a beggar woman. Toulmouche has one 
 of those exquisite portraits of the lady whom he never tires of painting nor the 
 world of admiring, dressed in that blue velvet wrapper which always becomes 
 her so perfectly. This time she is leaning over a table and enjoying the fragrance 
 of a bouquet of flowers. Vibert has a finely-colored Pompejian Woman fishing in 
 aromantic-looking pool. There are sketches by Delacroix and Achenbach, 
 Rossi, and Simonetti. One of the brightest and gayest pictures is that of Moreau, 
 full of the light and air of youth and summer. American art is adequately rep- 
 
4 
 
 resented by Kensett, Richards, and Church. The contribution of the last is a 
 striking and admirably finished picture of a passing storm. The pictures will be 
 
 sold on Thursday, the 19th.

 A small but unusually fine collection of oil-paintings, forming the private gal- 
 lery of Mr. Adolf Kohn, was opened for exhibition at the Leavitt Art Galleries, 
 No. 817 Broadway, on Thursday evening, and attracted quite a large company of 
 ladies and gentlemen, admirers of art, who were lavish in their expressions of 
 pleasure at the demonstrative character of the display. The collection embraces 
 only about sixty pictures altogether, but they are of unusually high class, both 
 in regard to names and quality, and are of a size usually denominated cabinet 
 works. We have rarely met with a gallery of paintings combining so much ex- 
 cellence in its composition as this. Jn landscapes, there is a charming example 
 of French art by Daubigny, which is a veritable poem on eanyas. It illustrates 
 a quict pastoral scene, over which is thrown a beautiful atmospheric effect, and 
 one of the most delightful gray-toned skies imaginable. Victor Dupré, another 
 of this illustrious school of painters, is represented by a landscape, rich in color 
 and powerful in the effect of light and shade. There are, also, in landscapes, a 
 spirited view with cattle, of marvelous power, by De Cock; a brilliant storm 
 effect, by Andreas Achenbach ; a strong coast scene, by Flamm, of Dusseldorf ; 
 and a fine harbor scene, ‘‘The Port of Dover,” by Maurice F. H. De Haas. Of 
 the genré subjects, there is an interior, entitled ‘‘ The Smoker,”’ by Ed. Allen 
 Schmidt, of Dusseldorf, which is full of expression, rich in color, and is handled 
 with a breadth and off-hand vigor which is particularly enjoyable to educated 
 eyes. The name of Toulmouche, and titere is none greater known to French 
 art, is represented by the figure of a young lady with a bouquet. It is superbly 
 finished, and in tone is very attractive. Kaemmerer has the figure of a young 
 girl preparing for the bath. It is entitled ‘‘ Innocence,” and its delicacy of treat-. 
 ment and purity of expression we have rarely seen-excelled on canvas. From 
 Vibert there is a beautifully painted figure of a half-nude young woman, which 
 shows the greatest precision in drawing, and is painted with a solidity and rich- 
 ness of tone which is worthy of the artist’s fame. Representing the name of 
 Diaz, there is a cabinet study, of rare beauty, of ‘‘ A Persian Mother and Child.” 
 The costumes are of a rich texture, and in their treatment the most gorgeous 
 combination of colors has been brought into play, but in so subtle a manner that 
 perfect harmony is preserved throughout. Escosura has a clever little picture 
 of a ‘‘ Young Musketeer,” seated on the esplanade of a fort during a bombard- 
 ment. The bullets appear to be falling around him, but one has struck his hel- 
 met, and he is apparently wondering at his narrow escape. ‘There are also ex- 
 pressive, as well as exquisitely-painted pictures, by Linder, Lambron, Brillouin, 
 Charles Sells of Dusseldorf, Tissot, Aubert, Firmin Girard, Appian, Corot, and. 
 others. In water-colors, there are superb examples by Rossi, Simonetti, and 
 the late Baron Leys. This unique collection is to be sold at auction, owing to 
 the early departure of the owner for Europe, on Thursday evening, the 19th 
 instant, without reserve, and in the meantime it will remain on free exhibition. 
 
 The Datly Graphic, Nov. 14th. 
 
 To THe Eprror or The Daily Graphic: ‘ 
 
 THE finest picture sale of so dull a season will have a representative import- 
 ance. It will be seen whether there is any money in the city for the purchase of 
 such luxuries as works of art. Messrs. Leavitt have prepared their beautiful 
 halls for the contest with all the attractiveness they know so well how to exer- 
 cise. The ante-room is decorated with statuary, which furnishes well, whatever 
 the individual merit of the figures, and the gallery is brilliant with flowers and 
 birds, to say nothing of the pictures, which form the particular attraction. These 
 are the collections of Mr. Adolf Kohn, who is about leaving for a long absence 
 in Europe, and have in their ensemble the aspect of a well-selected private gallery. 
 
 One of the gems of this gallery of sixty pictures is the small oil sketch by An- 
 toine Vollon. This is the artist celebrated for having painted a fish in half an 
 hour and gained a medal for it at the Paris Exhibition. An example of Vollon’s 
 landscapes was until lately hung in the Metropolitan Museum, and there is a large 
 specimen of his still-life in the Witlstach collection in Philadelphia. The present 
 
ein 
 
 5 
 
 picture represents a scene on the outskirts of Paris, at the Port de Bercy. The 
 groves and buildings of the suburbs are dotted over a distant bank of the Seine, 
 which is heaped up with a full tide, reflecting on its receding ripples the silvery 
 gray of acoo] sky. The even mass of vaporous clouds which fills the heavens is 
 most happily painted, as well as the horizon, blotted here and there with melt- 
 ing phantoms of factory smoke. The nearer buildings are painted with plaques 
 of color, made out with rule-and-line details in the manner of Canaletti and Guar- 
 di, and ‘the correct impression of endless multitude is conferred by very few 
 touches. The specimen of Calame is a mere study of effect, a storm on a mount- 
 ain-top, without any of that imposing cleverness of brush- drawing which his fin- 
 ished works exhibit. By Flamm, one of the best landscapists of the Dusseldorf 
 school, there is a sea-coast in twilight that would easily be taken for an Oswald 
 Achenbach, and a good specimen. By Andreas Achenbach there is a rain-washed, 
 sunset mill scene, in red and orange, very wet looking and dazzling. The Dau- 
 bignys—Charles and his son Karl—have several slight specimens in evidence. 
 A small picture by Church, ‘‘ The Passing Storm,” exhibits his easy effectiveness 
 and Limoges-enamel finish. A very delicate and beautiful little Corot shows his 
 green clouds of April foliage, with a shadow of white cottage and tremulous ash 
 trees in placid water, that only trembles with the shivering reflections. There 
 is a small water-color called a Turner, with a distant Rhine view and an undi- ° 
 gested mass of foreground trees, whose authenticity has all the proof conferred 
 by the fact that it came out of the notorious Thompson sale, so rich in soi-disant 
 old masters and their old masterpieces. 
 Among the figure pictures are several cabinet gems. One of the first that 
 catches the eye is a nude little girl preparing to bathe, drawn by Kemmerer with 
 all that ivory accuracy distinctive of the school of his teacher, Gerome. Near it 
 is a good specimen of Escosura, a mousquetaire examining a bullet-hole in his 
 salade helmet, and chuckling over the narrow escape of his jhead. A Diaz, con- 
 sisting of two standing Oriental figures, is a button-hole bouquet of the most ex- 
 quisite color. By Vibert there is a Pompejian woman, half nude. By Tissot 
 there is an excellent study of a single figure, in very low tone ; a comedian in 
 costume regence, and wrapped in a heavy cloak, is lifting his cocked hat for a con- 
 summate bow. By his master, the late eminent Baron Leys, there is a sepia 
 drawing, dated 1841, of an Ostade-like subject, and of course showing the maz - 
 ner of Leys before "fame ‘tapped him on the shoulder ; it is good, “put timid. 
 Adrien Moreau, in a scene evidently painted out in the open air, after the man- 
 ner of the best ‘Buropean artists for similar subjects, shows three girls gathering 
 flowers and tanning their complexions. Philippe Mei, one of the glittering Ro- 
 man school of colorists, has a scene of Addisonian humor, showing an elderly 
 male coquette presenting anosegay toa Miss Lydia Languish ; this study of eight- 
 eenth century humor is a genuine Spectator, and is a prize. Toulmouche, who 
 always paints from his wife, represents that la dy in one of her solemn- “ey eu 
 weary-looking attitudes. The meretricious Linder, best known for lithographs 
 of scenes at Mabille, has a showy girl reclining and ‘try? ing to look virtuous, the 
 caption being “Thoughts of Love.” Firmin Girard contributes a scene of the 
 antique Arcadia, with a shepherd plunging through brambles for berries to fill 
 the basket of his adored. His bare arms are vetting well scratched, a result 
 which the very Parisian Phillis regards with an expression of modern amuse- 
 ment. This is almost the only large canvas in a collection made up generally of 
 parlor pictures. The sale will be held next Thursday. —ERAsTUS SOUTH. 
 
 From the Times, Sunday, November 15. 
 
 The first art sale of the season is announced to take place on the 19th inst., at 
 the Leavitt Art Rooms. It is not often that so choice and well-selected a collee- 
 tion as the one offered falls into the auctioneers hands. Without startling us by 
 its extent or brilliancy, it evinces that the owner is a man of taste and judgment, 
 and after a careful inspection, we are satisfied that there is not one really poor 
 or inartistic work in the lot. 
 
 Among the gems of the collection, we should place Xavier De Cock’s ‘ Land- 
 scape and Cattle,’’ Schmidt’s ‘‘ The Smoker,’’ Escosura’s ‘‘ Musketeer,’ Vibert’s 
 ‘* Pompejian Woman, David Col’s ‘ News from the Seat of War,”’ Achenbach’s 
 “After the Storm,”’ and Moreaw’s “ Gathering Wild Flowers,”’ any one or all of 
 which would erace any gallery in the world. “The first-named work is, indeed, 
 very charming, showing such breadth and freedom of touch, such harmony and 
 mastery of color, so much feeling and strength of expression, that it would be 
 difficult to praise it too highly. Schmidt, who has been called “the Flemish | 
 
 -Meissonnier,”’ is fairly represented here by a cavalier smoking, a work distin- 
 
6 
 
 guished by its brilliancy of color and the skill with which the texture of the flesh, 
 silk, velvet, and the ornaments of the mantle are represented. Escosura’s 
 ‘‘ Musketeer”? is also in the style of Meissonnier. It tells its own story very 
 charmingly. A musketeer has surmounted a breach in the wall of a fortress, and 
 is now examining his helmet, in which a dent by a musket-ball shows the peril 
 he has escaped. It is one of the best of Escosura’s smaller works that we have 
 ever seen. In Vibert’s ‘‘ Pompejian Woman,” we have a charming bit of flesh 
 painting, with a suggestive landscape, and in Appian’s ‘‘ Bathing Girls,’? we 
 have a still finer landscape, rich and pure in color and artistic in treatment. 
 From Andreas Achenbach there is a bold, broadly-touched water-color, *‘‘ After 
 the Storm,” which requires the full light of day upon it to bring out its effects ; 
 and there is also a Turner here, a water-color, in regard to the genuineness of 
 which there can be no doubt., It represents a waterfall on the Rhine. Without 
 falling into ecstasies over it because it is a Turner, few persons with any knowl- 
 edge or appreciation of art, we think, can fail to see in it the master’s hand, and 
 acknowledge the wonderful skill with which the colors have been blended and 
 made to form a harmonious whole. Moreau’s ‘‘ Gathering Wild Flowers” is 
 another fine work, full of silvery light. The composition is as unpretending as 
 the title. Three young girls are walking through a field of standing grain, gather- 
 ing flowers as they go. ‘‘Shadows make the picture,” says some of our con- 
 noisseurs, yet there is no shadow here, save the one on the girl’s face in the fore- 
 ground. We have, nevertheless, a strikingly good picture, full of tender feeling 
 and beauty. Bonifazi, whose works are better known and appreciated in London 
 than in New York, has a tender ‘‘ Head of an Italian Girl ;’’ Brillouin, a cavalier 
 walking ona terrace ; Schmidt, a carefully executed ‘‘ Head of a Monk ;’’ Lam- 
 bron, ‘‘ The Masquerade,” a work which tells its own story ; Sell, the soldier- 
 artist, three or four small paintings, the best of which represents the Emperor 
 William and his staff on the battle-field ; Tissot, a solidly-painted figure, entitled 
 ‘“The Comedian ;’’ Calame, a small study of mountain and lake scenery, and 
 Bellows’ ‘‘ Interior of a Wood,’’ coo] and dark and mysterious. A small picture 
 by Madrazo, ‘‘ The Spanish Woman ;”’ a dashing sketch of Delacroix, “ Arab 
 and Horse,” and a painting in sepia by Baron Henry Leys, must not be passed 
 over. ‘‘ Gathering Berries,’’? by Firmin Girard, quite a large work, is notable for 
 its fine drawing and pure color, though the subject is somewhat curiously 
 treated. Kaemmerer’s ‘ Innocence,” a young girl bathing, shows a firm hand, 
 so far as the drawing of the body is concerned, though exception may be taken 
 to the contour of the lower limbs. Specimens of our own school will be found 
 by Church, Kensett, Bellows, and Richards, 
 The entire collection, which comprises sixty pictures, is the property of Mr. 
 ae Kohn, and is to be sold without reserve. It is now on view at the Leavitt 
 allery. 
 
 From the Evening Post, Saturday, November 14th. 
 
 A collection of cabinet paintings, the work of eminent foreign artists, and 
 owned by Mr. Adolf Kohn, of No. 1 East Fourteenth Street, was opened for a 
 private view at the Leavitt Art Rooms, No. 817 Broadway, on Thursday evening, 
 and is to be sold at auction on Thursday evening, the 19th inst. These pictures 
 represent eminent names, and are artistic works in every sense of the word; and 
 they are to be sold for the sole reason that the owner is about to leave for Eu- 
 rope, where-he contemplates remaining several years. 
 
 We have had no collection of paintings offered in an auction room of late years 
 in this city which embraced so many art gems as this, and that it will receive the 
 attention of connoisseurs we have no doubt. Representing the name of Toul- 
 mouche there is a cabinet canvas giving the half-length figure of a young lady 
 with a bouquet of flowers, which is painted in his best style, and shows the superb 
 qualities of color and finish for which that celebrated master of the present 
 school of French art is so justly celebrated. Another little picture of rare merit 
 is by Escosura, and shows the court-yard of a fort under bombardment, with the 
 figure of a handsome young guardsman seated on the ground, examining his 
 helmet, which has been struck by a musket ball, and who manifests some aston- 
 ishment at his narrow escape from death. The figure is well drawn, and the 
 composition altogether is richly colored and finely finished. 
 
 J. G. Vibert has a charming little picture of a half-nude young woman. The 
 work is carfully studied, and is remarkable for the transparency and clearness 
 of its flesh tints. Adrien Moreau has a sparkling rural scene, in which several 
 
cf 
 
 young ladies appear walking through a field of waving grain and gathering the 
 wild flowers which grow beside their pathway. ‘The sun is shining prightly, and 
 gives a brilliant character to the view. David Col, whose merit as an artist is 
 tully appreciated in this country, is represented by a humorous picture, entitled 
 ‘Reading the News from the Seat of War,” which, although only of cabinet size, 
 combines the spirit and other excellencies of his larger works. 
 
 *‘Innocence,’’ by Kaemmerer, represents the nude tigure of a girl. The face 
 is turned from the spectator, and the figure in its litne grace gives expression 
 only to sentiments of purity and innocence in accordance with its title. Linder, 
 of Paris, has the cleverly-painted figure of a young and pretty woman, which is 
 also very attractive in colour; and Diaz is represented by ‘tA Persian Lady and 
 Child,’ a picture which is well drawn, and ilustrates most forcibly his broad and 
 bold manner of treatment, and also the masterly massing of color tor which bis 
 works are famous. ‘here are also fine representative genré works by Lambron, 
 Ed. Allen Schmidt, Aubert, Firmin Girard, Montfallet, Joseph ‘Lissot, Sell of 
 Dusseldorf, the great painter of cavalry pictures, Brillouin, and several fine 
 water-color drawings by Simonetti, Kossi, and others. 
 
 in marine pictures there is a vivia view of ‘* the Port of Dover,’ by M. F. H. 
 De Haas, which was originally in the belmont collection, and was purchased by 
 Mr. Kohn at that sale ; and a gray-toned coast scene by I'lamm oi Dusseldort. 
 Andreas Achenbach is represeuted by a storm scene of great power and beauty ; 
 Karl Daubigny, who stands at the nead ot the modern school of Hrench land- 
 scape painters, by a fresh and charmingly-studied landscape ; and there are also 
 fine pictures by Victor Dupré, Corot, Xavier Ve Cock, anu others. ‘ihe coliec- 
 tion contains altogether apout sixty pictures, and is now open for public inspec- 
 tion. 
 
 from the Evening Matt. 
 
 The Messrs. Leavitt announce that the first exhibition of the season—a collec- 
 tion of highly artistic cabinet pictures belonging to Mr. Adolf Kohn—is now open 
 at the Art-Kooms, $17 Broadway. ‘Lhis coliecuuon comprises some sixty pictures, 
 but the examples are representative works of tne leading painters of murope ana 
 America, and it is seldom, indeed, that such excellent and admirable works of 
 art are brought into the market. 
 
 it is difficuit to choose the chiefest picture in an exhibition where the standard 
 of excellence is so elevated throughout; but we shall not err in taking up iirst 
 the superb example of Xavier De Vock, numbered 45, and entitied *‘ Lanascape 
 and Catele.”’ ‘L'nis artist is one of the leading men of the modern Belgian senool, 
 and bis work is noted ior broad truth to nature and superb renderloy of physical 
 sentiment. ‘The picture in point is a perfect iiustration of this artist 10 bis 
 strongest temper, and, as a masterpiece of a master-painter, We may rank it the 
 best 1n the coieccion. 
 
 Hacing the last-named picture, on the other side of the room, is an example of 
 A. Appian, of Paris, entivied ‘‘ Girls Bathing” (83), which, although in a dinerent 
 style, is no less admirable, Appian is a palnter wu0se worss are seldom seen in 
 this country, nor do we wonder at their absence, for pictures such as that before 
 us are the work Of many careful weeks, and not of aiew hours. A painter like 
 Appian does not toil for the muititude, out ior tne few ; he publishes ols achieve- 
 Meuts at long intervals, and they are immediately suappeu up by his expectant 
 patrons. ‘Ihe title of the picture scareely expresses tue design. ‘Tue artist 
 shows us a bevy of sportive damsels, woo are Comparing the syusmetry of their 
 figures with the marole grace of the statue wiicn adorns tue batuing-pool. 
 ‘Lue treatinent of this subject is exquisite. It is intended and finished iu the 
 Ianner of the Bolognese school, and the deshb-colors of the figures projected out 
 against the eluboraved foliage of the back-ground, his is a work whic will be 
 appreciated by connoisseurs, and we leave it for their discussion. 
 
 AS aD eccentricity of art, we may refer to the ‘‘ Watertall on the Rhine”’ (14), 
 by the great J. N. W. Lurner, whico is a drawing in water-colors purcnaseu by 
 tur. Koon from the ‘Lnompson colieciion, and the authenticity of which 1s 
 guaranteed. ‘lhere is no need of such assurance, for none save tuat divine mad- 
 iwwan of color would ever have so dared to stain the paper to so wonderful an 
 eitect, itis an example of Lurner, not, pernaps, in his most intelliziole mood, 
 but carrying with 1t tue power and force of his supreme genius, 
 
 ‘he fraternity of Landscape painters are represented well. We have “ After 
 the Storm’? (24), a study in water colors by Andreas Achenbach ; ‘‘A Passing 
 Storm’’ (SV), by our great artist Cnuren ; a ‘* Scene on the Banks of tue Oise’? (33), 
 by the younger Daubigny ; and a ‘‘ Landscape’’ (44), by the more celebrated 
 Cnarles francois Daubigny; ‘‘'the Coast of Capri’’ (41), by H. Flamm; an “ tn- 
 
\ 
 | 
 
 f 
 
 terior of a Wood ”’ (40), by A. F. Bellows; a ‘‘ Landscape”’ by Corot (45), and 4 
 de: iction of ‘‘ Lake Genesee ”’ (59), by the late J. F. Kensett. There is no need 
 to »eak of these pictures in detail; the mere mention of the artists is sufficient 
 to snow he » comprensive yet select is the collection. 
 
 Among the sea pieces we may refer particularly to the ‘‘ Port de Berey” (57), 
 by Antoine Vollon, of Paris; and the ‘‘ Port of Dover’ (18), by M. F. 1:. De Haas, 
 ot New York, who seldom paints works in these days with the care and attention 
 v’ ich distinguish this earlier effort of his genius. 
 
 ior g une figure pieces ‘‘The Musketecr’’ (51), Leon Escosura, will compare 
 i .abl~” with the choicest works of Meissonnier, and ‘‘ Preparing for the Duel’”’ 
 ‘* ) G.  ontfallet, fails little short in point of treatment and finish. Diaz is 
 spresented by ‘‘ A Persian Lady and Chi2” (48), which is a splendid piece of 
 olorine, and Vibert’s ‘‘Pompejian Woman” (54) is a splendid example in oil, 
 vondre is rich in tone and delicate in treatment. Baron Leys is represented by 
 4 sketch of “‘A Happy Family’ (84); Tissot, by ‘‘Tne Comedians’’ (27) ; 
 Toulmouche, by ‘‘The Bouquet’’ (55); Linder, by “‘Thoughts of Love’”’ (28); 
 and last, but not least, Adrien Moreau, by a magnificent picture of some modern 
 ladies ‘‘ Gathering Wild Flowers.”’ 
 
 \ In the ante-chamber to the gallery ave arranged a number of magnificent- 
 ‘ pieces of marble statuary by Marshall Woed and Rauch, also Ives of Rome and 
 
 Park of Florence. We have not sufficient space to devote to-day to the discus- 
 sion of these works of art, but will deal with them as soon as possible. 
 The collection will remain on exhibition during the week until Thursday evening, 
 tebe it will be sold by auction at the Clinton Hall Sale-rooms by the Messrs. 
 eay. vt. ; 
 
 From N.Y. Staats Zeitung, Nov. sth, translated from the German. 
 
 The Messrs. Leavitt & Co. have on exhibition a collection of cabi:et paintings, 
 the private gallery of Mr. Adolf Kohn. They are all admirable pictures, many 
 from the brush of celebrated artists ; among others, we notice two good land- 
 scapes of Daubigny; a charming little Dupré; an excellent study, ‘*A Beggar 
 Woman,” by Madrazo; a charming ‘‘ Femate Portrait,’? by Toulmouche, and a 
 genré painting, ‘‘ Pompejian Woman,’’ by Vibert. ‘There are, also, drawings by 
 Achenbach, Delacroix, Rossi, Simonetti, and other distinguished artists. Ameri- 
 oa art is also well represented with tine landscapes by Church, Kensett, and 
 
 ichards,

 Maria and Sylvia. 
 
 Suggested by the following passage in ‘‘ Sverne’s’”” touching story 
 of *‘ Maria” in the Sentimental Journey : 
 
 ‘* When we had got within half a league of Moulines, at: ‘the. 
 little opening in the road leading to a thicket, I discovered poor 
 Maria sitting under a poplar. She was sitting with her elbow in her 
 lap, and her head leaning on one side within her hand ; a amall 
 brook ran at the foot of the tree. 
 
 She was dressed in white, and much as my friend described her, 
 except that her hair hung loose, which before was twisted with a 
 silken net. She had superadded, likewise, to her jacket a pale 
 green riband, which fell across her shoulder to the waist; at the 
 end hung her pipe. Her goat had’ been as faithless as her lover 
 and she had got a little dog in lieu of him, which she kept tied by 
 
 _astring to her side. As I looked at her dog she drew him toward 
 her with the string. ‘‘ Thou shalt not leave me, Sylvia,” said she. 
 I looked in Maria’s eyes and saw she was thinking more of her 
 father than of her lover or her little goat, for as she uttered them 
 
 the tears trickled down her cheeks.” ee 
 
 Mr. Lawlor stands to-day in the front rank of British Sculptors, 
 and a Medal of Honor was awarded to him for his statue, the 
 ‘* Bather,” which was purchased by the Queen for her private col- 
 lection at Osborne Palace, Isle of Wight. ee era
