Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of a Highly Important Collection of Master Works by Distinguished Painters of the French, Early English, Dutch and Flemish Schools: Belonging to Dr. E. M. Harris, Providence, Edward Holbrook and T. J. Blakeslee, New York A pupil of Daubigny, the work of this excellent land scape painter possesses many of the characteristics of his master. This scene is on a French river, in which are seen some fishing stakes and nets. A boatman is pulling in the latter, and on the right is a great mass of trees, dark and rich in color. To the left is a distant bank, lit by sun light. The sky is filled with Cloud forms, brilliant at the edges under an afternoon sun. The composition is admir ably arranged in line and mass.
