The Winter Landscape, by |
Morveiller, is a picture as es-
'entially New Englandish,-if |
we may coin the word,-as |
pies or Thanksgiving.
Norveiller made a speciality of
winter scenes, and was admit |
ed to- be the best painter OF
now in America. This is one
'f the best of his small pieces.
It represents an old farm house
)y the roadside, with its inevi.
able Is and out-houses; grand
ma lin the yard engagedin feed
nG poultry; a group of skaters
IN q frozen. stream hard by,
With spectators looking on at
lie sport; in the distance, the
'illage, which is hidden by the
rees on its outskirts. A grand
id elm, under whose wide
preading branches the farm
louse is built is rendered with
wonderful fidelity and spirit;
md the apple tree, on the 9th
II side of the road, seems to
laveabeen photographed from
very family homesteadin Mas
aNhusetts away from the great

ure is pleasant one; for it has
warm, cheerful glow-such as
very one delights in, on @fine
mornings" in winter when the
now hes deep and the sleigh
'ells are ringing merrily on
