In the Galleries
After a busy season
and a public sale, with
many special exhibitions
in the interval, the
Oehme Galleries, No.
384 Fifth Avenue, corner
of Thirty-second Street,
have settled down to the
repose of the springtime,
and a really beautiful
example of the work of
Corot may be seen on
an easel. It is called
The Bathers and is a
modest-sized canvas, of
a stream by the side of
some trees, in the water
being some nude figures
of women. It is an ex-
quisite harmony of tone,
of the famous Corot gray
quality, the whole en-
veloped in an opalescent
scheme of color so characteristic of the great master.
While not all the Corots that come to this country
are pure gold, this particular picture is a gem in
its way and worthy the most careful examina-
tion. And there is the art wonder of the age, the
venerable Frenchman Harpignies, working away
as he nears four score and ten! He is represented
with one of his best efforts, called Cape Martin.
BY J. B. C. COROT
Henry G. Dearth’s remembered painting of Sun-
set at Montreuil is on view at the new galleries
of William Clausen, No. 7 East Thirty-fifth Street,
which have just been newly fitted up and whither
Mr. Clausen has removed from around the corner
on Fifth Avenue. This canvas is a colorful affair,
of rich tones and simple arrangement of quaint old
houses, their red roofs catching the warm glow of
the afternoon sun and
reflected in a pool in
the foreground. There
i 7 . ... are some interesting
early French portraits,
with a few of English
origin, and an entertain-
ing lot of carved mirrors,
some of the frames being
collected last summer in
Europe by Mr. Clausen,
during his travels in Italy
and elsewhere on the
Continent. But it is
mostly of the work of
the Americans wherein
this gallery is strong,
such men as Henry W.
Ranger, George H. Bo-
gert and the great trio,
Inness, Wyant and Mar-
tin, figuring with consid-
erable distinction.
