The statue, the head swathed in damp cloths, faces the spectator, and on the platform beside it the model stands, quite nude, her back to the spec- tator, in the act of adding another wet cloth for the protection of the clay. Below her, on the floor, Géroéme bends over a water bucket, washing his implements. The canvas is interesting in offering different aspects of the figure, and in the contrast between the white and warm pink flesh of the model and the cool gray of her moist clay effigy.

WAS are Cae (3. io In this canvas Vibert has let himself S with ro- mantic enthusiasm, and produced \a vivid and bril- lant picture. On the edge of a forest afire—trees smouldering overhead, trees flaming in the distance —the sky reflecting the lurid glow—fighting men, of the days when fighting was as welcome as eat- ing, are lined up before their commander, in all sorts of rich and colored and makeshift costumes. Some are helmeted, some have feathers in their hats—guns, halberds, swords their weapons; and a poet among them, reading, his sword under his cloak! And a drunken brawler behind him. Vibert’s own description of the painting accom- panies it, in a letter written in French in a further fervent expression of his emotional enthusiasm, in which he says: “On all sides the shrill blare of the trumpets has sounded, the officers are rallying their scattered forces; they will be off to other exploits. “Here, before his reunited company, the captain, erect in his saddle on a superb Spanish mount, proceeds to in- - spect his men, while yonder the advance guard is already on the march with its luggage and spoils. “At the center of this cross-roads, surrounded by the burned forest which is still smoking, these vagabond ad- venturers clad in rags and incongruous armor have the ap- pearance of rascally bullies rather than true warriors. Careless of the disaster they leave behind them, of the fire they have set; blood-stained and covered with mud, they witness impassively the terrifying spectacle of the cen- turies-old oaks crackling in flames, their blackened skele- tons making fantastic silhouettes against the bluish smoke! Yet—strange contrast—one of them carries in his pouch a bunch of roses; another, memorandum-book in hand, com- poses verses, which he is reading aloud. An unknown poet? O, no! His masterly nose ident.fies him among them all; it is Cyrano de Bergerac. And with that, you know his companions. They are the Cadets of Gascogne, so well de- scribed by Rostand.” Here follow the verses from Rostand beginning: “Oeil @aigle, jambe de cigogne, Moustache de chat, dents de loups.” Signed at the right, J.

In the foreground the broad stretch of green and fer- -tile French country is generously marked by char- -acteristic trees. Here on a knoll some cows are grazing. The land falls away in sweeping curves beyond them to the sea in the middle distance, and from the spectator’s eminence his eye looks over the broad landscape and waters and away to the rock ‘of Mont Saint Michel far beyond. Curious “slicks” or currents mark the waters of the bay. The striking characteristic of the picture, how- ever, is its remarkable atmosphere, saturated with moisture and of a curious brilliance. From a red and golden sunset beyond the Mount a wonderful, ‘mysterious glow suffuses the whole landscape. The rays of the unseen sun, which has not yet sunk to the horizon, cast long shadows of the cows and of neighboring trees into the foreground, toward the spectator, with an effect not less pictorial than naturalistic. Signed at the right, Félix Planquette, 1904. Purchased from the artist. M. Planquette exhibited in the Salon of 1894, at the age of twenty-one; obtained a mention in 1900, the Brizart prize in 1901, a medal of the third class in 1902, and in 1905 a medal of the second class and a “bourse de voyage.” His canvas that year was a “Baie du Mont Saint Michel,” a sub- ject he has used more than once with great success, par- ticularly in the atmospheric treatment. Of “Le Grain (shower) sur la Baie du Mont Saint Michel,” which the artist exhibited with other works in Paris in 1908, the Paris Hclair spoke as follows: “The sky is full of light; but, before the sun, a shower interposes, and what one would wish to be able to describe is the marvel of this water, which one feels to be fluid and pouring down, yet which, however, has the dazzling brilliance of a diaphanous veil of gold.” The same journal said further: “It is to be remarked that the landscapes of M. Plan- quette contain nearly always some animals, and not merely vague forms of beasts which are necessary for ‘spots.’ One feels, on the contrary, from the importance which the artist accords to his cows or his sheep, that to him these animals are necessary to express the soul of the country which he paints. * * * He certainly to-day is one of the most vigorous and most delicate of our landscape and animal painters.” By order of Sullivan & Cromwell, Attorneys for Owner.
