LAST Painter’s Son Ruled Against Them and | Kirby Asked That They Be Destroyed —Sharp Bidding for Conant Por- trait of Linceoln—Some Good Prices: { Last. night's sale -of pictures at Mow delssohn Hall developed a very unusual experience for the large audience. They heard the auctioneer, Thomas EH. Kirby of the, American Art Association, declare that two paintings in the collection of the late Peter A. Schemm of Philadelphia which had been catalogued as by the late George Inness had been withdrawn from the sale as not being the work of Mr. Inness. This in itself has scarcely ever happened before at a New York picture auction, but Mr, Kirby went further and indicated that the paintings will in all probability be destroyed. The two pictures were | those referred to in THE SuN of yesterday | morning as having been passed in Thurs- day’s auction without explanation, Nos. 204 and 214 of the catalogue. After No. 268 of the catalogue, “Gather- ing Clouds,” by. Mr. Inness, had been sold \last evening for $2,500 Mr, Kirby made | this statement: Nos. 204 and 214, in our galleries during vhe hibition and thev were favoradvly com- mented upon by those who viewed them. | Toward the evening of the opening day (Mr. Geor ge Inness, Jr... who was Siswing | as to these two paintings weiss by his ‘father. Accepting Mr. Inness’s opinion, iI immediately withdrey the paintings ‘from the exhibition ar d ultimately from ‘thesale. Andin furtherance of our efforts to prevent the pictures passing into the hands of other parties I have suggested Schemm that ‘they obtain the consent of his heirs to | destroy the two canvases.” These two paintings had not only been ‘favorably noticed by newspaper critics on the day after their exhibition in the Schemm collection, but they had been shown in many other exhibitions to which Mr. Schemm had lent them and so far as is known their authenticity has never before been questioned. Another interesting development of the evening was in the number of people who made efforts to ges the portrait of i sme Tar ie dae Beds ses Be “Hla esiers.” Gazin; C. al ay # Genie x Hew ee renee ea rs Ce ee ea ed a ee Ok ee a ry Oe es ee ee i ie eed rshlands,” Dearth; es 278—" Despatch a Heine Belicedir Re ee ee en er Cee ee Ce Oe ee errs vs. FSF, ™m: Sal ear rhe Antiquarian,” Brunin; Lal As Be TAO SRE ae aS AE pega 17'S OSE NS RI, UREN 24 "Near Pei” Cas: James NSS Ra So oh BI? | Bi ere Harpignies; Martin Beck.. “The Morning Rss,” Neuhuys; Knoed- 6:9 @ Wise 9'4'6 Soho y en 8 le'Slb cs se eWhiecac Beet ak 9) * evvis adie & ba we e's baie Pals a6 2 o.nwisie e's oThe: Pursuit,” Géréme; W.

The very dark brown hair is brushed in a roll above the forehead and spread loosely over the ear. The eyebrows are dark brown, the eyes blue, and the mouth, set firmly with the suspicion of a smile, displays the lower lip full and slightly out-turned.

A black satin bow-tie fills the wide opening of the turned-down collar, under which the ends of the bow are tucked. A manuscript at the back of the canvas reads as follows: “Beheving that this sketch of Mr. Lincoln will possess in coming time some historic value, I make the following statement. It was painted by myself, from life, at Springfield, Ill., in the summer of 1860, between the time of his nomination and election for the presidency. It is the only attempt that I know of to give Mr. Lincoln’s social, genial expression. The testimony of Mrs. Lincoln to its truthfulness was: ‘That is excellent; the best that has been taken. He looks there as he does when his friends are about him.’ His intimate friends, Mr. Dubois and Mr. Hatch, made similar statements. I have retained it until now in the vain hope that the citizens of St. Louis would honor me with a commission for a full length, historic picture in which Mr. Lincoln’s pre-eminently social and genial nature should be represented. And it is with much reluctance, and sorrow even, that I am now compelled to part with it, which is mitigated only by the fact that it passes into the hands of my most esteemed and valued friend, Col. James Eads. St. Louis, February 11th, 1868. (Signed) A. J.
