In making this, his opening sale of the season, Mr. Haseltine is well aware ot the stagnation in business, and how much depressed a large portion of the community have become, and in consequence how great a venture it is on his part to place upon the market in this way, so valuable and costly a collection of paintings ; but he trusts that the magnitude and splendor of the offering will secure from Art patrons such a positive appreciation as shall nullify the influences of the times. To meet the views ot many persons who at present are not ready to purchase valuable paintings, but who also would not care to lose such a great opportunity, Mr. Haseltine offers through the Messrs. Leavitt the following liberal terms upon purchases at this sale : For all amounts over $ 500, 30 days' credit. “ “ “ “ 1,000, 60 “ “ “ “ “ 2,000, 90 “ “ “ “ “ “ 3,000, 4 months’ “ Where credit is given, approved endorsed paper is required ; and those desiring to purchase on these terms are requested to confer with Mr. Haseltine, or the Messrs. Leavitt, previous to the sale, as in all other cases the paintings will be sold for cash. Especial attention is requested to the following extraordinary pictures: The Right Path, by Merle,’ The Railroad Crossing, by Bosch, Market Scene in Hungary, by Volkers, Blind Man’s Buff, by Leinwebber, The Burial of the Bird, by Lejeune, The Serenade, by Escosura, The Garden Ramble, by Saintain. and wo rks by Boughton, Coomans, Guerra, Dupre, Daubigny, Baugniet, Ducro, Gerome, Troyon, Rossi, Ziem, and many other of the eminent painters of the day.

Specimens of this great artist are becoming every year harder to obtain, and, as in the ordinary course of nature, he must soon lay aside his pencil, the present is the opportunity to gain his works.

GUSTAV DE JONGHE, Medals, 1863, '68, ’70. 48 The Music Lesson, During the past year the works of De Jonglie have met with, in his case, an unprecedented demand ; and it is admitted that he will, without doubt, be the successor of Alfred Stevens, in the estimation of con¬ noisseurs. EDOUARD ZAMACOIS (deceased). Medals, 1867, 1868, and 1870. 49 The Cavalier’s Repose The Works of Zamacois are becoming exceedingly rare, and those col¬ lectors who have not already secured one, had better avail them¬ selves of the’opportunities as they offer, as there will soon be none upon the market. LAD1SLAS BAKALOWICZ, Paris. 50 Curiosity. The pictures of this artist require no introduction. G. FERRARI, Rome. 5 i The Ambuscade. It is only of late years that the paintings of Ferrari have been imported ; but they have long commended themselves to European buyers. NOEL SAUNIER, Paris. 52 Visitors at the Ruined Abbey.

HEILMEYER, 59 Venice by Moonlight. Really superb. B. C. KOEKKOEK (deceased). 6o On the Zuyder Zee. The good works of the great Koekkoek have become of late years ex¬ ceedingly rare, and dealers even experience great difficulty in obtain¬ ing a specimen. This unusually good one is presented with the hope that those interested in the best foreign art will not permit it to sell below its value, for it would be difficult to replace with one so excellent. It has been likened to efforts by the old Dutch masters. ALBERT BIERSTADT New York. 61 V iew on Sir Morton Peto’s Grounds, near Great Yar¬ mouth, England. 7 o ADOLPHE SCHREYER, Paris. Medals, 1864, ’65, ’67. 62 Fleeing from the Fire. For quality and beauty, this picture is unsurpassed and unsurpassable, by Schreyer. It was bought in Berlin, and formed a part of the celebrated collection lately sold there. JULES DUPRE, Paris. Medals, 1833 ; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1849; Medal, 1867, E, U. 63 View in France. A most superior specimen of this illustrious landscape painter. CONSTANT TROYON (deceased). Medals, 1838, '40, ’46, ’48, '55 ; Cross of the Legion of Honor. 1849. 64 Landscape and Cattle. J. SPIRIDON, Rome. 65 The Game of the Dwarfs. Since the death of Zamacois, no one has succeeded so well in rendering his favorite subjects as Spiridon. JAMES M. HART, ' New York. 65 a Afternoon on the Bronx. WILLIAM HART, New York. 65 b In the Adirondack^. J. A. HEUILLANT Paris. 66 The Siesta—Scene in Japan. A line work of art. CARNAVALLI, Rome. 67 The Pet Dog. OTTO WEBER, Rome. Medals, 1864 and 1869. 68 Treading Out the Wheat. This is one of the fine pictures in the collection, and is worth in Rome a thousand dollars in gold. EDOUARD RICHTER Paris 69 The Invitation to the Garden, Interior of a Chateau—Time of Louis XIV. Sunlight was perhaps never more faithf'il’y or more powerfully rendered. The whole picture is a splendid work c, art. V. BARVETIUS, Paris, 70 La Place de la Concorde. REIDEL, Rome. 71 The Temple of Paestum. C. THEO. FRERE, Paris. Medals, 1848 and 1865. 72 The Halt—On the Nile, near Cairo. J. STIRLING THOMAS, Philadelphia. 73 Cherries. NEW BOLD H. TROTTER, Philadelphia. 74 Jack and Jill. s AGNATTI, Florence. 75 Deposition Sublime by Cor¬ reggio. oo 76 Saint Romualde and Monks. These superb Mosaics are entitled to the greatest consideration and care of inspection. Formed of myriads of small pieces of stone, it is won¬ derful to a degree how the talent of the artist had enabled him to group them together to form these beautiful works of art. Time, which ruins so much magnificent art, will have but little effect on these enduring monuments of skill. FREDERICK RANDLE, Philadelphia. 76a Still Life. PHILIP F.

V. 122 The Love-Letter. A most beautiful picture by one of the most celebrated of artists. A work of art calculated to adorn "any collection, and'give great pleas¬ ure to its possessor. TONY FAIVRE, Medal, 1864. 123 The New Story. Paris. J. L.GEROME, ™ns. Medals, 1847, 1848, and 1855; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1855 Member of the Institute, 1865]; Medal of Honor, 1867; Officer of the Legion of Honor, 1867. 124 The Misery of War. Although not the largest in size of Gerome’s paintings, it is especially important as being a picture finished in his best style ; the subject is like many by this artist, anything but pretty, but prettiness is not the characteristic of Gerome, but truth is—for this latter quality it is greatly to be commended. EDOUARD RICHTER, 125 The Pleasant Stroll. Paris. A. DUCRO, Rome. 126 Displaying the Jewels. This picture of the Roman School is of the very finest quality, and worthy of the consideration of the best connoisseurs. F. ANDREOTTI, Rome. ~?7 The Tease. O. CORTAZZO, Paris. 128 The Morning Walk. A brilliant example of this great artist. L. ALVAREZ, Rome. 129 The Dancing Lesson. A beautiful picture. The companion was sold for a very large price. HEILIGERS, Brussels. 130 Surprised, JOSEPPI CARAUD, Paris. Medals, 1859, ’61, ’63; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1867. 131 I he Art Lesson. One of this artist’s finest works. G. CASTIGLIONE, Paris. 132 Inspecting her Treasures. A choice picture by an artist who is justly obtaining a first place in art estimation. EUGENE CUNY, Paris. 133 The Anxious Parents. V. CHEVII.LARD, Paris. 134 The Pet Dog, A most brilliant and beautiful picture. J. B. A. E. BERANGER, Paris. . Medals, 1846 and 1848. 135 The Little Dressmaker. G. FERRARI, Rome. 136 Espionage. 137 Curiosity. The works of Ferrari are not often seen in this country. His pictures are fine works of art, and are expensive. Mr. Haseltine is satisfied that they will meet with the approval of the public. LOUIS JIMENEZ, Rome. 138 The Attentive Listener. Paris. JULES GOUPIL, 139 Reverie. 140 Waiting, A'pair of paintings exceedingly attractive, and rendered as only Jules Goupil can do. They are worthy of great praise. LOUIS ROSSI, Rome. 141 The Artist. One of the most beautiful examples, by this illustrious painter, ever ex¬ hibited in this country. CHARLES SEIBELS, Dusseldorf. 142 Holland Landscape, with Cattle. A picture with the finest qualities of Andreas Achenbach, and in itself without a fault. Really a great work. WILLIAM S. HASELTINE, Rome. 143 Clearing Up Alter a Storm. J. A. NEUHUYS, Brussels. 144 The Portrait. This splendid painter ranks with Florent Willems, and holds high place with him in the world of art. This is a superb work. W. AMBERG, Berlin. 145 Abstraction. A picture of fine subject and quality, and well calculated to adorn anv dwelling'. FREDERICK RANDLE, PliiladelpJiia. 145a Flowers. P. KNARREN, Brussels. 146 The First Toy. A splendid picture, painted in the style of Florent Willems. THEOPHILE GIDE, - Paris. 147 The Rehearsal for the Mass. G. TOESCHI, - • Rome. 148 "1 he Visit of the Cardinal. EMILE LEVY. Paris. Grand Prize of Rome, 1854; Medals, 1859, ’64, ’66 ; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1867; Medal, 1867, E. U. 149 Erecting the Statue. A most important work by this artist. GIOVANNI ROTA, Paris. 150 The Visit to the Gallery—In the Time of the Directory. No one can but pause before this painting; and to pause is to praise and admire. Certainly a more attractive picture cannot be pre¬ sented. CARL ROBIEJSH, Munich. 151 Up to Mischief. P. BARTH. 152 Feeding Rabbits. VICTOR TORTEZ, Paris. i 53 The Rivals. A subject interesting, and treated in a peculiarly attractive and forcible manner. The page in gray tights certainly seems determined that the other gentleman shall not pay attention in the direction of his thoughts, if he can help it. J. B. C. COROT, Paris. Medals, 1833, 1848, and 1855; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1846; Medal, 1867, E. U.; Officer of the Legion of Honor, 1867. 154 A Pastoral. This superb specimen of the Master cannot but secure from art connois¬ seurs loud praise. H. CORRODI, Rome. 155 View on the Seine. W.

A most brilliant and beautiful example by this the most eminent painter of flowers. . , , | -\ \r JL til 1S» MILNE RAMSEY, 164 Nature and Art. Nothing finer by this rising and already highly prominent painter has ever been exhibited. Ramsey promises to be one of the great artists of America. JOSEPH COOMANS, ' 165 The Beautiful Pompeian. There probably has never been such a picture by Coomans ever exhibited in this country before—it surpasses all of his former efforts. E. II. MAY, Medal, 1855. 166 Waiting. H. HERZOG, Dusseldorf. 167 Ostende Pier. WILLIAM S. IIASELTINE, 168 Sunrise at Capri. Rome. Paris. CJESAR DELL ’AQUA, 169 The Jealous Pets. Dell’ Aqua, one of the finest of living painters, has certainly done him¬ self justice in this production of his pencil. Difficult is it to obtain any work of art by him, but almost impossible such a beautiful con¬ ception and rendition. E. BOSCH, Dugseldorf. 170 The Old Time-Piece. This beautiful work of art, the effort of one of the greatest of the German artists, is well calculated to secure the attention and approval of art enthusiasts. The execution is faultless, and the subject one that everyone will enjoy. H. SONDERMAX, Dusseldorf. 171 The Joy of the Cottage. The story is most eloquently told; but not only in this has the painter shown his skill. Every touch of the brush has proclaimed him a master. W. AMBERG, Berlin. 172 Retrospection. Were the artist unknown to fame, this picture would, by its exhibition, make for him a reputation that would be lasting. It can be asserted with the greatest boldness and confidence, that no such expression of Amberg’s art has ever been shown in the United States. The sentiment depicted is beautiful, and at the same time wonderful. CHRISTIAN SELL, Dusseldorf. 173 At the Siege of Paris. Sell has become one of the finest battle and soldier painters of Europe, and this is a worthy ex Ample. E. YORKERS, Dusseldorf. 174 Hungarian Peasants on a Journey. A characteristic picture of the manners, customs, and costumes of Hun¬ gary. L. BECHI, Rome - . 175 Harvest Time in Italy. Luxuriant in color, and replete with sunlight. Attractive in subject and remarkable in execution, it presents a picture to be greatly admired and desired. Y. DE VOS, f Brussels. 176 Rather Dangerous. A fine picture by one of the best dog painters living. HENRI DE BEUL, Brussels. 17 7 Sheep. In many respects equal to the master Verboeckhoven, and in all re¬ spects a pleasant and well-painted picture. Antwerp. A. ROSENBOOM, 178 Curiosity. P. F. WHARTON, Philadelphia. 179 The Call to Work. A pleasant reminder of the pleasure experienced at the seaside by the young people. A cheerful picture, and full of life and light. J. WALTON, Philadelphia. 180 On the Delaware. EDMUND D. LEWIS, Philadelphia. 181 I he After Glow—View on the Susquehanna. Paris. Third JSvenjng’s |al EMILE VERNIER, 182 View near Paris. II. HILLER, Berlin. 183 Near Dieppe. M.

HAAG, - Paris. 192 Thoughts of Others. H. LEIGH, - London. 193 Arbuy Cathedral. CHRISTIAN SELL, Dusseldorf. 194 Scene during the Winter Cam¬ paign in France. Such a choice, sparkling little gem of a military picture it would be diffi- . cult to find. It should sell for a large price in the worst of times. J. SIM MONDE, Dusseldorf. 1 9S Waiting for the Word. Simmonde has here clothed an every-day occurrence with such remark- N able truth of detail as well as sentiment, that the beholders can al¬ most imagine themselves the participants in the scene. The chief beauty of the picture is, however, the beautiful execution. Rome. LUIGI MACCARRI, 196 Christmas Morning. Certainly an attractive picture, containing some of the highest evidences of superior art, while the subject is of the best, and especially appro¬ priate to the present season of the year. GUERRA, , Rome. 197 The Debauch. No connoisseur or artist can pass this jewel of art without bestowing upon it expressions of admiration. It cannot fail to be appreciated by any or all. A. DUCRO, Rome. 198 Food for Gossip. Of all of the painters of Europe who have lately come into notice owing to their productions of great merit, perhaps no one is more entitled to extravagant praise than Ducro. ALEX. M. GUILLEMUST. . Paris. Medals 1841, 1845, and 1859; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 186 r. 199 The Morning Prayer. Ciuillemin tills a place in art and in the world's esteem that is his alone. In style of manipulation, in character of subject, and in beauty of sentiment, he is certainly appreciated. This example is a perfect gem. J. B. J. TRAYER, Paris. Medals, 1853 and 1855. 200 The Industrious Wife. This favorite painter has long been known, and many are his friends and admirers. A beautiful expression by him, is the picture here presented. It would adorn a collection of the choicest character. i. Cl POLL A, Ro rn e. 201 The Victim. Brilliant in effect, and careful in detail, he forms to the eye a most attrac¬ tive picture. The artist is only now becoming known, hut soon every amateur will know of his works and understand the high prices that his pictures bring. H. YY ERNER, Dusseldorf. 202 Grandmas Story. It is utterly useless to draw attention to the high character of the art in this picture, while the subject is one that every parent or child can but find pleasure in, and a home adorned with such pictures cannot help but be a happy one. J. WALRAVEN, Dusseldorf. 203 Learning How. Walraven has painted many more important works in size, but perhaps never has excelled the present picture in quality. It also, like No. 202, cannot fail to be sought for, owing to its beautiful subject. A. VAN DER VENNE, Dusseldorf. 204 Badly Scared. A picture full of humor as well as art; the humor, however, is confined entirely to the spectator and not to the actors in the scene, for all are badly scared. E. SCHLEICH, Munich. 205 On the Way to Market. Nothing finer from the Munich School of Art in landscape can be pro¬ duced. It is superb. Dusseldorf. H. HERZOG, 206 Niagara Falls from the Museum. A splendid work by this talented painter. WILLIAM S. IIASELTINE, Rome. 207 Sunrise at Amalfi. 208 Sunrise at Ostia. A A choice pair of paintings. MILNE RAMSEY, Paris. 209 Nature and Art. A beautiful work. CHARLES CHAPLIN, , Paris. Medals, 1851, 1852, and 1865. Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1865. 210 The Pet Bird. EOU CHARD, Paris. 210 a An Italian Beauty. j C. BAUGNIET, Paris. 7 -s 211 The F avorites of the Boudoir. The works of Baugniet are always dear in price, and scarce at any price. G. JACQUET, Medal, 1868. Paris. 2 i 2 Anticipation. A new and striking picture, just received from Paris and the artist. ANDERS. 213 The Home Treasure. Beautiful in subject and color, and careful in finish ; it is not only a fine example of the artist, but a valuable addition to the ait tiensures of the country. PROFESSOR ITTENBACH, Dusseldorf. 214 The Virgin and Infant Jesus. No one in Europe is superior to this artist in this department of art. The elaboration and finish of this extraordinary picture is wondenul to a degree. It certainly should secure great competition. GEO. EL BOUGIITON, London. 215 The Siren. To Americans it is unnecessary to introduce Mr. Boughton. So familiar have the people of two continents become with his art, that when¬ ever a picture is offered upon the market; it is the signal .or great competition for its possession. Certainly this is a specimen ot the first importance. CHARLES EMILE JACQUE, Medals, 1851, 1861, 1863, and 1864. Cross of the Legion Medal, 1867, E. U. Paris. of Honor, 1867. 216 The Pasture. More important pictures by this artist have been before the American public, but nothing more brilliant and beautiful by Jacque has e\e been offered anywhere. ALBERT PA SIN I, Paris. Medals, 1859, 1863, and 1864. Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1868. 2 17 Market Scene at Cairo. Fromentin, Gerome, Fortuny, and Pasini are four of the great paint¬ ers of Eastern scenes. Pasini is destined to occupy one of the most prominent, places in art of the century. EDOUARD ZAMACOIS (deceased). Medals, 1867, i 368 , and 1870. 218 The Cavalier. A singularly beautiful specimen of Zamacois. As it is well known the works of this artist are now almost impossible to procure. JULES EMILE SAINTAIN, Paris. Medal, 1866. 219 The Garden Ramble. Sainlain is probably the most popular of all the great French painters whose works are sold in the American and English markets. So great is the demand for them in London, and so high the prices paid for them, that it is rare that one finds its way to the United States. It is perhaps two years since an important one has been seen here. LEON Y. ESCOSURA, Paris. Decoration of Spain. 220 The Serenade. Since last year the prices of Escosura have again advanced, and notwith¬ standing there are upon the market fewer of his pictures than ever, he promises to be one whose pictures will be costly to a degree, as his reputation is assured, and his great excellence acknowledged. E. BOSCH, Dusseldorf. 221 The Railroad Crossing. o It is some years since anything- important by Bosch has found its way to this country, everything having been bought up by Europeans im¬ mediately upon its production. In this effort of his skill, we are, however, able to rejoice that now a masterpiece is exhibited fcr our admiration and praise. 1s there in the possession of anyone in the United States any picture by the artist in any way equal to it ? Y A LLES, Rome. 222 The Indian Juggler. Fortuny or Gerome, perhaps, are the only artists who could have painted this picture equal to Valles. The deep interest and attention of the lookers-on, the skill displayed by the operator, the manner in which the knives seem to spring through the air, the gorgeous color, the effects of light and shadow, all together make up a picture of the highest art. H. LEINWEBBER, Dusseldorf. ’ * * 223 Blind Man’s Buff. A pleasing and attractive subject is often greatly to be desired in a pic¬ ture —and here it is. The execution requires no comment, it is so perfect and artistic, w'hile the rendering of the subject is so truthful that any gazer cannot but admire the consummate skill of the de¬ signer. EUGENE LEJEUNE, Paris. 224 The Burial of die Bird. The engraving from this painting is familiar to all ; perhaps no print of modern times has had a greater sale. Lejeune, as an artist, has obtained a great and lasting reputation. The subject is one of the most beautiful of the kind that an artist can render. ROUGERON, Paris. 225 Eager to Learn, thus Easy to> "Teach. It is easy to see what a pleasure it is for the parents and friends to in¬ struct one so anxious to gather knowledge. The child, with all the ' grace of her sex and race, is manifesting already an ability that promises great results to gladden her teacher’s heart. As a speci¬ men of brilliant color and effect, the picture is simply great. E. VOLKERS, Dusseldorf, 226 Market Scene in Hungary. This certainly is one of the most wonderful pictures that Mr. Haseltine has ever offered to New York connoisseurs. Above everything else ever produced by the artist, it is his masterpiece. It is to be hoped that the same enthusiasm will be manifested upon its exhibition, as has attended it upon its exposure abroad. The efforts and enter¬ prise of American dealers cannot fail to meet with approval, when such superb works as this of Volkers are secured for the art collec¬ tions of the country. HUGHES MERLE, Paris. 7 u Medals, 1861 and 1863 ; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1866. 227 The Right Path. It will, doubtless, be at once conceded by everyone, that no such work of Merle is owned in the United States, and it is probable that there is nothing so magnificent by him in the world. It was his exhibition-picture in the Salon of 1873, and was esteemed as a most wonderful picture. The lesson conveyed, has been aptly termed a sermon on morality, and few sermons surely'could be more forcible or more productive of good. The picture should grace some great collection in the land, where the public could now and then have opportunity to study its excellence, and increase their knowledge of art. It certainly is a rare occurrence tor such a painting to be of¬ fered in the auction-room in any country. S; JACOBSEN, . Dusseldorf. 228 Bright Moonlight. This is the most splendid example of this celebrated painter that Mr Haseltine has ever seen. It took a Silver Medal in the World’s Fair at the Crystal Palace. REGIS GIGNOUX, Paris. 229 The Falls of Saint Anne, Ca. There never has been a stronger picture painted by any artist claiming to be American. It is as fine as the very best French art. It cer¬ tainly is Mr. Gignoux’s masterpiece. CHARLES FRANCIS DAUBIGNY, Rome. Medals, 1848, ’53, ’55, ’57, ’59 5 Cross of the Le £ ion of Honor ’ lS 59 - . Medal, First-class, 1867, E. U. 230 Landscape in France. A perfectly magnificent painting, and one worthy of the highest lauda¬ tions. Only the master could so truthfully and conscientiously de¬ pict this phase of nature. This picture would cost, in M. Daubigny’s studio, 20,000 francs, and is the finest specimen of the artist in the United States. C. PITTARA, Rome. 231 Twilight on the Roman Cam- pagna. One of the most superb efforts of this great painter ever shown in this country, and as fine as anything ever seen from his brush. Paris. ALFRED WAIILBERG, Medals, i 87 o, 1872 and 1873. 232 Landscape—Brittany. No one of the new and rising landscape painters of France is exciting the interest and expectations of amateurs as this artist, who is here represented by his most important and greatest work. A. R. VERON. Paris. 233 Cloudy Day in Lorraine. Probably nothing by this artist equal to this has ever been imported. Al¬ though not as large as some of his pictures, it is a first-class effort of this first-class painter. G. DOYEN Paris. 234 The Luncheon. A work of the very highest class. c. D. HUE, Paris. 235 The Departure lor the Prome¬ nade. A beautiful picture. AUG. INNOCENT I, Rome. 236 ddie Connoisseur. 237 The Secret Letter. . A pair of gems. N. CIPRIANI, Rome. 2 Zl a The New Shoes. One of the finest paintings in the Sale. ALBERT LAMBRON, Paris. 238 Cup and Balls. 239 The Violin. A most beautiful pair of paintings, and splendid examples ot the artist. G. FERRARI. Rome. 240 The Music Party. This is the most important of all the pictures by this artist in the collec¬ tion. ft is a powerful picture. EDOUARD J. C. HAMM AN, Paris. Medals, 1853, '55, ’59, ’63 ; Cross of the Legion of Honor, 1864. 241 Tender Moments. The reputation acquired by Hamman is not to be wondered at while contemplating this work ot his genius. OTTO VAN THOREN, Vienna. Medal, 1865. 242 The H orse Raiders. Berlin. CHARLES STEEFECK, Medal, 1855. 243 A Young Family. Steffeck is the German Landseer, and no dog painter is held in"as high estimation. P. MORAN, Philadelphia. 244 The Wayside Inn. Mr. Moran is already recognized as one of the first of American animal painters. F. BRAIGHT, Munich. 245 Buffaloes in a Snow Storm. VAN I)E VELDE BONFLELD, Philadelphia. 246 Winter Morning. 247 Evening. J. WALTON, Philadelphia. 248 Lake George. R. FENWICK, London. 249 Off Dover. M. ADAM, Iaii *- 250 New Dieppe. EDMUND D. LEWIS, Philadelphia. Vlew on the Susquehanna. 251 '/V 7* V ) V / ^ \ ’ ' ; /v V "i S , */_i/ --.
