Preface Mr. Julius Oehme, in making this sale, is moved by a desire to reduce his somewhat extensive stock of pictures which has grown to larger proportions than he cares to carry and gives a greater responsibility than he desires to assume. For over half a century Mr. Oehme has been identified with the cause of the Fine Arts in New York, having been associated in his day with the house of Goupil & Co., and that of Knoedler & Co., while for the past fifteen vears he has had his own extensive galleries. He now feels he has earned the right to more leisure and less care. So these works are placed at unrestricted public sale and the opportunity is offered the connoisseur to secure pictures, many of which Mr. Oehme bought direct from the artist’s studio. The popular Dutchmen are adequately represented; there are several important examples by the Barbizon Men and the Frenchmen who have met with favor in America, while the other canvases will appeal to many differing tastes.

A woodland is to the left and a house to the centre, while along the horizon appears to he a town, the smoke from the chimneys of which rises up against the evening sky. , phe canvas has much of the sense of approaching night-fall and many poetic qualities.

Signed at lower right, “DE CLERMONT.” Height, 15 inches; width, 22 inches. i No. 9 W. JORISSEN DUTCH Contemporaneous THE PET BIRD A young Dutch peasant woman is seated in a dimly- lit interior and is opening a bird cage. A little lad stands by, looking at her.

To the right is a group of houses with a windmill, a little seaside village and _ be- yond, a distant line of blue hills. The scene is on the shore not far from Cowes, where the regattas are held, and the truthfulness of the transcript is immediately apparent. Masses of rocks and seaweed litter the beach and some boats are drawn up on the shore. A capital example of this popular English artist’s work. Signed at lower left, “ B. W. LEADER, 1901.” Height, 12 inches; width, 20 inches S OD No. 14 M.

Very tenderly has the artist envel- oped his landscape in the morning light, keeping all in a mysterious haze most attractive and artistic.

Her lovely neck and shoulders are of dazzling whiteness and the painting is of course, the last word in able craftsmanship. Signed at upper left, “J. J. HENNER.” Height, 10 inches; width, 74 inches.

No. 38 CHARLES MEISSONIER FRENCH Contemporaneous FLEMISH TAVERN In a quaint old interior, seated before a table, are two cavaliers engaged in earnest conversation. One, in red velvet, holds a mug in his hand, the other has a long churchwarden pipe. A woman stands cooking before a ereat fireplace and talks to a soldier in brown. Out through the door one sees the throngs im the street passing and in a corner of the room two retainers converse. Son of the great Meissonier, this painter has naturally fol- lowed along lines developed by his father, of which this composition is typical. Signed at lower right, ‘CHARLES MEISSONIER.” Height, 154 inches; width, 18% inehes. ee ; No. 39 VINCENZIO MARCH ITALIAN Contemporaneous THE TROUBADOR The picture represents an old auberge on the Roman Compania where, in front of the doorway sits a wandering musician with his guitar. A dog is beside him, and grouped about are peasants listening delightedly. From the chimneys of the clustered houses come up wreaths of smoke and all about is luxuriant vegetation. Some peas- ants in the distance load donkeys with garden produce. A woman knits in the foreground and children play. The artist, a friend of Fortuny, discloses marvelous skill in the rendering of his detail, painting and drawing with extraordinary facility and the types are all well presented. The brilliancy of coloring is to be noted and is character- istic of the land. Signed at lower right, “V. MARCH.” Height, 15% inches; width, 264 inches. aa No. 40 H. G. KRICHELDORE GERMAN Contemporaneous STILL LIFE Very realistically has this clever painter represented a lobster, brilliant in scarlet coloring, lying on a table. A green wine glass stands near and back are a castor and elaborately decorated wine jug. A few oysters serve to further make up the component parts of a feast. The work is unctuously rendered, with facile brush in a most artistic manner. Signed at upper right. ““H. G. KRICHELDORF, 1903.” Height, 214 inches; width, 30 inches. No. 41 CHARLES HERRMANN LEON FRENCH Contemporaneous AT BAY Toward evening a stag has been brought at bay by a pack of hounds and in his despair stands in agony, his head’ thrown back while the dogs pile on top of him. : One is on his back, another runs at his left. A line of: dark hills is seen at the back and an evening sky of yellow is over all. The scene is one properly represented by a genuine sportsman, which the painter in this instance happens to be, and the drawing and construction of the animals are thoroughly understood. Signed at lower left, “C. HERRMANN LEON,” Height, 26 inches ; width, 32 inches. No. 42 TONY ROBERT FLEURY : FRENCH Contemporaneous AN INTERESTING BOOK An attractive young woman sits comfortably in a chair and peruses a novel. She is clad in a light flowered dress and has hair of reddish tint which is done up in a knot on the top of her head. The light on the face is interestingly disposed and one finger is between the leaves of the volume. The coloring is delicate and full of charm and the sentiment of refined femininity is well conveyed. Signed at upper right, *'T. ROBERT FLEURY.” Height, 15 inches ; width, 12 inches. \\ No. 43 J. H. van MASTENBROEK DUTCH Contemporaneous ON THE RIVER MAAS An active scene on the outskirts of a Dutch town, which is seen in the distance.

DAUBIGNY FRENCH 1817-1878 MISTY MORNING Through wet fields from which arises a mist, a peasant woman drives some cattle to drink. The sun breaks through the clouds in yellow tones and patches of blue are seen overhead. Over the undulating valley one sees the distance gray, blue and soft, and there is the suggestion of a farm house to the left. Some slender trees are to the right, under which is a red cow. Signed at lower right, “ C. DAUBIGNY.” Height, 9 inches; width, 154 inches. From the J.

COROT FRENCH 1796-1875 MORNING IN THE VALLEY Some willow trees and a birch to the left of the com- position come up against a warm evening sky, and a eroup of woodland to the right makes a strong note. In the distance are seen some buildings outlined against the heavens, and a stream flows through the centre of the picture. Some figures rest by a tree trunk. The tender grays characteristic of Corot are evident throughout the work, which has the charm of the great French master. Signed at lower right, ‘* Corot.” Height, 123 inches; width, 16 inches. From the F. BAYER Collection, Paris. > y No. 57 JULES DUPRE FRENCH 1811-1889 CATTLE IN THE POOL Kiminently characteristic of this distinguished French painter, this little masterpiece fairly glows with light and rich coloring. It shows a stream wherein are cattle. Some willows are near the bank and are reflected in the water. A sky of blue is banked with white clouds, the marshes recede into a soft distance, and there are both that solidity and construction to the landscape that bespeak the distinguished craftsman. The work is a most unusual example. Signed at lower right, “J. DUPRE.” Height, 94 inches ; width, 13 inches. From the Boussop VALADON & C! Collection, Paris.
