isused by a farmer to carry over his cattle, and some cows appear in it,one with her head over the side to take a drink from the river as theboat lies with its nose on the bank at the left. The farmer is in it,and also an old woman who stands among the cows. Other cowsappear on the bank, and washerwomen are at work on their knees atthe streams edge. Above the green, sloping bank which a farm roadascends from the river is a group of gray-white farm buildings withbrown roofs. Beyond them tall trees, green and yellow, grow alongthe bank, which becomes lower and broadens out down to the river,and on the opposite bank are tall woods in similar coloring. Theplacid river shows a few white ripples here and there, and mirrors thewoods of its banks. The light sky is filled with fleecy, cream-whiteclouds, touched with pink and gray-brown, and the air is clear. Signed at the lower left, Daubigny, 1859. Prom the collection of Monsieub Claudon, Paris. Purchased from M. Kxokdler & Co., New York.

The sky is a beautiful turquoise-blue,underlain by active and pervading cumulations of the aerial vapor intones of gray, white, cream and purplish-brown, which thicken towardthe horizon. On the right, near the foreground, the bank of the riveris a low, wild green field. On the left and extending nearly acrossthe picture the farther bank has a low, irregular border of greengrass, back of which lines, groups and masses of short and tall treesgive variety to the cool, green and sunlit prospect. Under the fore-ground bank on the right the figure of a man is seen bending over in his punt
