PERING. BRING $15,215.
ds of the Late Owner Among
Purchasers—Top Price Was $680,
Homer Martin’s ‘“‘Golden Sands.’’
of the paintings in the collection
ate Frederick S. Gibbs, which Mr.
executors have ordered to be dis-
J at auction, were sold by Thomas E.
of the American Art Association in
endelssohn Hall last evening for $15,215. It
as the first sale of the winter of sufficient
portance to take place in Mendelssohn
all, which has taken the place of old
tickering Hall as the theatre for the pub-|
: sale of important art collections, New|
ork having no Governmental auction
om like the Hétel Drouot, and no rooms |
‘actly duplicating those of Messrs. Christie,
anson & Woods. Mendelssohn Hall was |
‘owded with buyers, bidders and other |
>rsons. interested in the Gibbs pictures, |
ome of whom, who were not buyers last
rening, will figure among the purchasers
-night or to-morrow night, when the bet-|
x offerings will come under Mr. Kirby’s |
nall i ivory hammer.
A considerable percentage of last even-|
ig’s attendance—some professionals, some |
mateurs and some merely interested
yymen—had apparently come to look
ver the ground as revealed by the first)
ight’s auction, to learn something of tho,
idications of what prices were to rule in|
vis sale, which is in some respects the |
‘ost interesting from the standpoint of.
merican art that has taken place since,
16 Thomas B. Clarke sale in 1898. Mr. |
ibbs had acquired the usual potful of)
ariegated canvasses entitled to no serious,
onsideration which the uninitiated col-|
ietor is bound to accumulate, and many '|
these were disposed of last evening,
ith a small number of representative
aintings, forerunners of the best offerings |
E to-night and to-morrow night. The |
discriminate tots brought the average
' the evening down, but the prices of a.
‘w of the American paintings indicated,
ie interest which some of the better ex-|
amples are to bring out in the succeeding |
venings of the sale. . |
Some of the political friends of Senator
ibbs Were among the attendants at the
ile, John F. Carroll, W. M. K. Olcott,
punty Clerk Hamilton and Hugh J. Grant
guring in the list of purchasers. The-
snator’s brother, Dr. J. Wilson Gibbs, °
Jught a number of the pictures, The |
urchaser of the Innesses was supposed |
» have screened himself behind a pseu-|
bnym, because his name had not hereto-
re figured in the seasonal liste of picture
ayers. Macbeth, the dealer, bought the
cquisite Homer Martin “Golden Sands”
m $680, top price of the night.
The pictures sold, with the names of the |
winters and the buyers and the prices, | |

centrated near the zenith. ‘The broad flood of light is diffused
over the landscape, uniting in a simple mass of color the great
area of pasture land which stretches away to the distance where
a coppice and a gently sloping hillside form the horizon, broken
on the right by a rugged tree, bare of foliage. ‘Two cows are
feeding in the pasture, and near the foreground there is a
marshy spot with small pools of water reflecting the sky.

Grouped around a great bluff-bowed brig which, with slack
sails, forms the chief feature of the composition, are various
motley craft common to the waters of the north of Europe. A
Flemish fishing-boat with lee-boards and tanned sails has drifted
against the bow of the brig, and a row-boat with three men floats
near by. On the right are two strange-looking sailing-vessels,
and beyond in the far distance are the hazy forms of the towers
and spires of the city of Antwerp. The blue sky is half veiled
by fleecy clouds. 3

Supported by a crouching negress, a young girl with bare
arms and shoulders reclines on the ground and behind her is the
merchant, who has just removed the veil from her face to dis-
play her beauty to a possible purchaser, who stands near with
a companion. The gold embroidery on the rich Oriental cos-
tumes of the two men engaged in the transaction glitters in the
sunlight, and the white burnous of the third relieves the heads of
all three against its strong light and luminous shadow. In the
background against a high wall on the right is seen a veiled
female and there are other figures in the background on the left.

em FO The parents of a small boy have brought him to a tailor’s
shop to be fitted with a new suit. The scene is laid in the time
of the Directory, and the parents, the tailor and his wife and the
small boy are dressed in the interesting costumes of the period.
The brown and gray garments of the boy are placed on a chair
and he stands near, awkwardly conscious, in a short green silk
coat, a figured waistcoat and dove-colored breeches. The old
tailor is laying down the law about the fit, his wife behind the
counter holds the cat and wears a sympathetic smile, and the
parents look on with absorbed interest. A bird cage and a brass
lamp hang from the ceiling beams and in the background are
shelves of goods and many bits of bric-a-brac.

Lying deep among high enclosing hills is the placid sheet of
water reflecting the deep blue of the zenith, and beyond the lake
a great plateau, where a small town stands overlooking the
water, extends far into the distance where the horizon is lost in
the summer haze. In the foreground a steep, rough hillside
crowned with the high walls of some old chateau garden and
flooded with sunlight contrasts against the distant landscape.
In the sky a stratum of cirrus floats high above the earth, in-
dicating a balmy air and a season of perfect weather.
