WILLIAMS’ PICTURE SALE, | The first session of the auction sale of pic- tures from the estate of Ichabod T. Will- iams, held in the Plaza ballroom Wed. eve. ="! last, Feb. 3, by the American Art Ass’n, with Mr. Kirby as auctioneer, resulted in a total of $34,600 for 58 canvases, mostly of the modern American and French schools, with a few attributed to Dutch old masters. : | The total of the second session was $1515. (275, and the grand total for 117 picturés, $185, 875. For the first time at any picture sale this |season there was a really good attendance, ‘and the ballroom was well filled. While the bidding was good on the whole, it was at no time spirited, but prices ruled well consider- ing the market’s condition, especially for the examples of older American painters, no longer in vogue, such as Jas. Smillie, Swain, Gifford, McEntee and others. The large ex- ‘ample of the late Geo. Fuller sold, “Girl Tending a Calf,’ excited competition as this not prolific American master’s works seldom come to the auction mart, only six having ever appeared in New York sales- rooms. It brought $4,200. A good-sized Monticelli fetched $2,600 and a good Clays, $2,650. The dealers, notably Knoedler & Co., were the largest.purchasers and there were few new private buyers. The canvases attributed to Dutch old masters, and which were the weak feature of the collection, | brought low figures—especially for such big names. Second Session. At the second and last session, Thursday evening, the large ballroom was filled to its capacity and many were turned away for lack of seats. The atmosphere was one of animation, the bidding spirited, and the prices, as a rule, were not only good, but surprisingly good in several instances, es- pecially in such a season, a most cheering and significant proof that art works of good quality can hold their own and are not |“downed” even in and by the greatest war \in history, Lhe individual prices and tive tin- expected total of $185,875, were the most encouraging incidents of this, up till now, dull art season. The highest figure at the second session and of the sale was $12,000 paid by R. H. Lorenz, agent, for Jacob Maris’ “Tiller of the Soil,” a record auction figure for this artist. Knoedler-& Co. secured Millet’s “Ouarriers” for the low figure of $10,500. Geo. Fuller’s “Romany Girl,” sold to Miss Lorenz, agent, for $10,500, some $2,000 to $5,000 lower than Fuller’s admirers had ex- | pected. Of the three Corots the “Woodman’s Cot,” the best in quality, brought $9,200 from Scott & Fowles, the Mauve, $8,300, from Knoedler & Co., a low figure, and of the five Monticellis, ‘the highest figure, $8, 200, was given by Scott & Fowles for Landscape and Fig ures. ri aN small landscape, “Autumn,” by the American painter, J.

Over these broad lower slopes, from the right, comes the light, striking on and under a stone bridge across a stream in the foreground whose course is rocky. At the nearer end of the bridge two wayfarers have met, and stopped to talk, a man on a white horse, and a man walking with a staff and leading a dark horse burdened with heavily laden paniers.

At the left is the point of a bank or an island; off it at the right a man is raising a net, the moonlight making the water glisten around him. ‘Toward the further bank sailboats are getting under way; on shore a small fire is burning red, and lofty gables lift their peaks above humbler roofs. ‘The moon silvers the edges of many clouds, aloft and banked along the horizon, and between the towers of churches on the two shores a sailboat is seen making toward the river’s distant mouth.

Crioups fill the evening sky, save where they break away above the moon, and patched masses of them are moving across the face of the orb. It is a night of the full moon, and although its form is screened by the gray vapor—which is made luminous all about it—the radiance penetrates to a winding river or canal that twists through the center of the picture to the foreground. The dark green surface of the water becomes a silvery white with the reflections; the figure of a man in a boat may be dis- cerned in the shadows, and the glint of red lights on the dark banks.

From the fore-— ground to these woods the right bank of the river is varied. A road along it near at hand mounts over an arched bridge above a narrow stream flowing into the river, and two men are seen on the bridge rise, one on horseback and the other walking with a staff. Iarther along are steep-gabled houses, and another way- farer trudges forward with a load on his back. Beyond him a boatload of fishermen are putting out from the shore, hauling up a seine. At the edge of the nearer bank, which crosses the foreground, are three cows, a line of traps and nets, and some water birds. The sky is light, and massed with rolling clouds touched with color. | i‘ pte JAN VAN GOYEN kA Durcu: 1596—1656 9 No. 58—BEACH AT SCHEV ENINGEN ie Height, 42 inches; length, 58inch 7 CEE xs 7 , a Qn BEHOLD the now famous plage in simpler times 166 ppaous not, one may believe, less joyous, if in wholly different man- ner. We have heard still living oldsters tell us of when Coney Island was even more primitive—lacking, to be sure, some two centuries of color and costume. The broad, flat beach of yel- low sand is mellowed and browned with rich-hued shadows, and in the sunlight the atmosphere sparkles, though not with sum- mer’s heat, as the habit and attitudes of the numerous and complex company foregathered attest. The people are for the most part of the vicinage, peasants and fisher-folk in democratic assembly, with a few of the greater ahorseback or in a six-horse coach. They sit, stand or ramble about the sands, and in their — apparel are pleasing tones of pink, green, yellow, blue, gray. To left is the pugnacious bluff of an obstinate dune that the sea has not been able to subdue, surmounted by a rough-hewn shelter, and on the beach and in the offing are numerous sailing boats of the hardy fishers.
