The Alexander Young Collection—Conclusion
“MOONLIGHT BY THE RIVER”
the deep blue patch of sky and the striking red
note formed by the cap of the figure in the fore-
ground.
In strong contrast to this virile piece of painting
is the small study The Artists Model (p. 21), by
that rare master Bargue,
of whose life little is known.
He was a pupil of J. L.
Gerome, and besides his
pictures he executed some
lithographs after various old
and modern artists. There
are three examples of his
painting among Mr. Young’s
pictures, all studies for the
splendid Mode/e now in
the collection of Mrs.
Guthrie of Mayfair. Theone
which is given here is an ex-
quisite little work, in which
the beautifully modelled
figure, with its subtle flesh-
tones, is set against a deli-
cate salmon background.
Eugene Boudin, generally
considered amongst the im-
pressionists, is represented
by some interesting exam-
ples, mostly painted in a low
key, pictures likely to improve in tone and quality.
The most pleasing is The Wharf (p. 15), with its
vast expanse of sky and feeling of atmosphere. In
Penitrieux (p. 16) the brushwork is tighter, and the
treatment and execution show a distinct leaning
