Bae GEORGES oe FRENCH Contemporary I THE RETURN FROM GLEANING A party of peasant women of various ages, who have been spending their day in the harvest field gathering the scattered wheat heads, are returning homeward in the late afternoon. The company is led by a young woman in short- sleeved, low-necked white chemise, and short gray petti- 93 coat, who trudges along barefooted, holding her bundle of wheat on her left hip, with her right arm akimbo. She is chatting as she walks with a companion, whose dress indi- — cates a somewhat more comfortable position in life, and the rest of the party listen attentively to the discussion. Beyond the group on the left a clump of trees in full foliage rises out of the picture, and on the right broad wheat fields are seen extending away to the summit of a low ridge in the distance.

A young fisher- — man, evidently in the favor of many maidens, has just — met and passed a comely girl, who is going to the foun- tain with her two copper buckets. With a coquettish air she slowly walks away, conscious of the glances of the 4 young fisherman, who pauses to look over his shoulder at the passing beauty. In the doorway of a cottage on the right stands a rival beauty, who smilingly endeavors to attract the attention of the young man, to the amusement of three companions seated nearby.

He was a pupil of the Academy of Fine Arts of Munich and of Professors L6ftz and Lindinschmidt, received several medals in Munich, and a special prize for his painting “'The Death of Julius Cesar.” A picture of his entitled “Queen of the Season” was exhibited with great success in the principal cities of Europe, and was afterwards purchased by the Austrian National Gallery. Mr. Kahler continued his studies in Paris, and while there ‘exhibited his work at the Salon. In 1886 he travelled in India, and then visited Australia, where, under the patronage of Governor Lord Loch and Lady Loch, he met with much success, and painted a number of portraits and a very important picture, “The Melbourne Cup,” illustrating the Australian Spring Meeting, in which he incorporated a hundred portraits of the most prominent Australians. This picture was reproduced by Messrs. Goupil of Paris, and the reproductions, sold by subscription, realized 30,000 pounds sterling. While on a visit to New Zealand the artist executed a number of remarkable pictures of the volcanic region. In 1891 he came to San Francisco, where he stayed - two years, painting a number of portraits of people of prominence and pict- ures of Angora cats. It was in San Francisco he completed his important work, “My Studio at Melbourne,” which was begun in Australia. He came to New York in 1893, where he now has his studio. While here he has painted a number of successful portraits, including that of President Roosevelt’s son “ Archie,” on his favorite pony, a number of thoroughbred horses, and numerous “cat pictures.” Mr. Kahler is now engaged in painting what he considers his greatest work, a picture entitled “Steel, Steam, Electricity: the Giants of the World.” ’ VIEW OF ROTTERDAM Tuis is a view of the ue Dutch town n taken £ <— “tne ape ree there.
