 ” THE ARGUMENT.” 
 BY C7. C /IEISSONIER. 
 
 Reproduced by Courtesy of the American Art ne eat: 
 
 If quantity counts, J. B. C, Corot, Emile 
 von Marcke and Adolf Schreyer were 
 Mr. Ward’s favorite painters. Bach of 
 them is represented by three canvases. 
 tt is quite possible that the verdict of 
 the majority will indicate the supreme 
 popularity of Van Marcke’s “Entrance to 
 Pasture,” No. 70, a scene “impregnated 
 with the serenity and wholesomeness of 
 pastoral life,” as the writer of the cata- 
 logue remarks. The composition is~good, 
 the cattle are well drawn, the light of 
 the hour is suggested—if the painter had 
 
 {been born fifty years later he would have |! 
 
 | reproduced it more faithfuHy. ‘While it is 
 best. of the three, 
 first-rate Van Mareke’s.

 is 4 good ox, moving along in 
 manner, but its ‘“‘pelt’’—the catalogue’s 
 word, not ours—is not as lifelike as that 
 of Van Marcke's ‘Red Cow.’’ -Rosa Bon- 
 heur dcesn’t look very great in this com- 
 pany of animal painters. Charles 
 Jacque’s *‘Bergerie’’ is a picture of sheep 
 in a fold. Bovgard shows animals in his 
 
 picture of

 But there will be those, including the 
 || present writer, who find most satisfac- 
 tion in the largest of the three Corot 
 landscapes, while others will choose the } 
 ltireer Israels, ‘ue Vieux Scribe,” No. (1, 
 Here Israels is at his best. It is a pic- 
 |ture of an old man writing at a table. 
 With his left hand he holds his scroll! 
 of parchment wide open; with the other 
 he writes. There is characterization in 
 ithe face of the ‘‘old Rabbi,”” whose na- 
 } tionality and vocation can hardly be mis- 
 |} taken. The shape of his head and his in- 
 tellectual face bewray him, The painter 
 made an effort to bring the light into 
 the room through the adjacent window, 
 illumining with it the old man’s face and 
 writing hand. Both of the hands are 
 expressive. 
 
 There is a hint of the purple moderns 
 love so well in Corot’s “A Road in the 
 Forest, Ville D’Avray,’’ but it is in his

 her left arm parallels the curve of her hip. Orange-chestnut hair fringes 
 her forehead and falls in profusion over her shoulder. A white drapery is

 A CARDINAL, with a faculty of pene- 
 trating observation, has either de- 
 tected an intrigue or discovered proof ° 
 of one that he had already suspected. 
 He has found a tell-tale letter, and, 
 after having satisfied his curiosity as 
 to the writer and the addressee, is 
 stooping to replace it in its hiding- 
 place. This is beneath a candelabrum, 
 which stands on a gilded console-table 
 at the left of the room. The design 
 of the candelabrum is a black bronze 
 cupid, supporting a gilded torch. 
 
 magnificent star decorates his left 
 breast and a Maltese cross is sus- 
 pended from an orange-colored ribbon which passes around his neck. The 
 apartment is handsomely arranged in the style of Louis Quinze.

 light green vine and another vine with red leaves. This group forms an 
 impressive mass of foliage that catches the light upon its top and lifts itself 
 in tranquil dominance against the sky. Its base is fringed with delicate 
 sprays of leafage.

 his flank, in contrast with the white of the valley. The yellowish-green 
 meadow in which he is shown terminates in a hedge of trees. The picture 
 suggests the determination of the artist to prove that, when he chose to rely

 A HEAVILY built white ox, flecked with red, stands looking away frome ae P 
 
 spectator, its body exposed three- -quarters to the front. Its huge frame, 
 rendered with extraordinary naturalness and vigor, is enveloped in a ‘soft = ; 
 bluish-gray shadow, the evening glow meanwhile partially illuminating = a: 
 the neck, shoulder and hip, rimming the legs with light and irradiating the: cam 
 plume of hair at the end of the tail. It stands on a patch of buff- brown 
 earth, beyond which is a stretch of yellow-green grass, bounded by a screen 
 of grayish-green trees. The sky is sprinkled with creamy clouds, fora > : 
 ‘in an amber atmosphere. In the warm glow of late afternoon the meadow _ 
 is lulled to tranquility, and the Shed bulk of the animal stands out with 
 magnificent assertion. :

 from a domed building built over the spring. It shows the marks of age,

 left hip. He is followed by five horsemen, one of whom carries a blue flag, | 
 furled. Ahead of the chief, toward the left, rides a servant between a a 
 bare-backed remount and a pack horse. While the leader’s head is seen — : ye 
 against the blue sky, a low hill, covered with stunted bushes, forms a 
 background to the other figures. — A few flowers sprinkle the foreground Cas 
 scanty herbage, which is interrupted by bare spots of parched earth.

 Ir is the milking hour and the warm, level rays of sunlight brighten the 
 colors of the cows, which are trooping homeward. Driven in by the herds- 
 man they are slowly advancing toward a wooden bridge which spans a stream 
 that separates the farther pasture from the foreground. On the near side of 
 it, attached to a high post, is a gate which is being opened by a woman, 
 beside whom stands a dog. In the foreground stands a white calf, full in 
 the sunshine, to the left of which is a black cow standing beside a red 
 one with white markings lying down. A dun cow is crossing the bridge 
 followed by a pale yellowish-brown one, following which are the remainder 
 of the herd. Two trees, with sun-illumined foliage, stand at the right and 
 left of the bridge, and at the rear of the farther meadow is a hill luxuriantly 
 wooded. Above it is a stirring cluster of white clouds floating in the blue 
 sky. The scene is impregnated with the serenity and wholesomeness of 
 pastoral life.

 In a dim interior, lighted by a window on the left, through which the 
 sunshine struggles, coloring the glass a bluish-gray and streaking the wood- 
 work with orange and cream, an old rabbi sits at a table, facing us. His 
 - left hand is spread expressively on the scroll unfolded before him, while his 
 right guides a quill with slow and conscientious deliberation. The high, 
 narrow forehead is covered with a dark-olive skull-cap; the eyes look weak 
 and tired; the nose is long and the under-lip pendulous, while the gray 
 beard falls low down upon his yellowish-brown gabardine. Two crutches 
 lean against the dull-olive tinted wall, which here projects, forming a shelf 
 on which rest a book and some scrolls. A glass ink well stands near his 
 right hand, and the other end of the scroll on which he works is held in 
 place by a glass weight, near which a book and two quill pens are lying. The 
 light illumines the old man’s face and pen-hand, emphasizing the expression 
 of weariness in the one and the constrained feebleness of the other.

 INSTIGATED presumably by the older sister, a little girl has been pilferiagd in 
 an apple orchard. She is now on the top of the wall, one leg hanging down, 
 clinging to the arms of her sister who is helping her to descend. The child, 
 whose head presents a cluster of blond curls, is dressed in a fawn-coloea , 
 skirt and a greenish-blue bodice, fastened with shoulder straps over a white 
 chemisette. The older girl’s costume consists of a black bodice, laced ¢ 
 behind, and a skirt, looped up so as to display its plum-red lining over | alee i 
 greenish-blue petticoat. Her feet are bare, and near them lies a bsket 
 filled with apples which are partly covered by a crimson handkerchief. Some — 
 plants and a little bush cluster at the foot of the walk, from the top Gf Lim 
 which, on the left, hangs a vine-spray. A profusion of leafage closes i in the 4 :
