The top price, $1,750, was by Capt. J. R. De Lamar for a magnifi- cent pair of Louis Seize candelabra nearly | two feet high of chiselled ormulu and! porphyry with rock crystal and amethyst. pendants and clusters.

David Warfield and Capt. De Lamar were the keenest buyers. Mr. Warfield paid $540 for a Louis Seize snuffbox of | chased gold and champlevé work and $500 for a malachite and ormulu. vase clock. of the Empire period, made by Thomire, the famous French sculptor, doff. His other purchases included a! pair of red porphyry jars for $350, a pair. of tiger's eye marble vases with handles, of gilt. ormulu for $260 and a pair of ame- thyst covered urns for $100. Capt. De Lamar secured an exquisite filigree gold casket set with precious stones, for Shibh he paid $625, and a miniature windmill mounted in gold and silver, costing $525.) A mechanical bird in a chased gold case went, to him for $400 after a contest, as did the pick of the watches at $260. In the ivory group the principal lot: consisted of a large ewer and plateau , of nineteenth century Flemish work, earved with mythological subjects and | mounted with silver. For this Cane.

A black velvet cap, edged with white fur and embroidered with jewels is worn at an angle over the right side of the head. The moustache and beard are auburn. A circlet of twisted gold, embellished with jewels is looped across the chest, lying over the broad ermine lapels of the sleeveless upper garment. Under this is a tightly fitting doublet, sewn with white diamond-shaped devices and rubies. Over the breast a circular order is suspended from a light chain. A ring is worn on the first and fourth finger of each hand. This picture, which was No. 2 in the Earl of Scarborough’s Sale, 1807, resembles in some minor details of dress the central panel of the “Grin- ling Gibbons” room at Petworth; but it is regarded by experts as a small studio record of the portrait in the Collection of the Earl of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, made by the artist for the purpose of replicas _ of this subject, which he executed at intervals of several years.

The cow stands almost athwart the vision, at the end of a path which here merges into a field of coarse grass. Her body is white, with here and there a faint reddish tinge, her face and neck tawny, the throat white. The play of light and shadow and the re- flections from path and grass on the white coat of the cow give some curious color values which the artist has had pleasure in working out. Leaning her head down, the cow looks, as still hungry, toward a patch of grass of a light, fresh green, near the base of two slender trees which stand at the left.

She is turned slightly to the spectator’s left, but is seen in almost full face. Her handsome features wear a gentle and affable smile and she looks a very human young woman, indeed, as fresh as of to-day. She might be called the Lady of the Pearls. Pearls bind her hair, encircle her delicate neck, drop from petted ears and adorn her wrists, and a rope of them winds from a large, pear-shaped pearl pendant on her breast around her lace-covered shoulders. The fair face and abundant hair are framed by the high outstanding ruff of the period, and her black brocaded gown is gorgeously enriched with gold embroidery and brightened by the silk linings of slashed sleeves. It is cut slightly low at the neck. Her beauty is enhanced by a slight flush suffusing her cheeks, the hands are delicately modeled, and she carries a fan. Purchased from T’. J.

The angle is occupied by a red brick cottage, which presents an arched end, distinguished by a tall window and two signs rudely painted in white, the one being a cross and the other an X contained in a circle. The thatched roof, interrupted by one chimney, slopes up to a high peak, crowned with tiles. The disappearing road is bordered on the left by a fence of upright planks, irregular in height, enclosing a meadow, where a man in a red cap is approaching two cows. The grass is bounded at the back by a row of trees, above the center of which rise the nave and spire of a church. ‘The latter appears beneath the foliage of a tree which grows beside a wooden shed, thatched with reeds.

She is turned three- quarters toward the spectator and is looking directly at him with a faint, quizzical smile, which has caused the portrait to be called “La Joconde.” Her hair, parted in the middle, is bound over the crown of her head; otherwise it falls loosely over her shoulders, which the low corsage of her rich black waist reveals. This is edged with white lace and adorned with a jeweled clasp or brooch at the breast.
