A good deal has been said of late
about Judge Gould's collection of pic
lures. We yesterday visited th'
Judges gallery, and spent minute
and half in examining his speci
mems Of paintings. At the risk o
offending the Judge, we must sa.
that in our critical mind's-eye, thos'
pictures have been more than enough
over-estimated. The drawing il
nearly all is good-in many excellent
but with the single exception of th'
portrait of w. L. Marcy, the pictures
are all too highly colored. We shoult
say they were all painted by one ar
tst and his pupils, and that vermil
lion and chrome-yellow were the Onl.
colors with which they were well sup
piled. The style is more that of TIN
careless scene -dauber than of th
studious canvas-painter. The Judge
pictures are eXecrable, and Count.
Clerk Potts shows equally bad tast
with the owner in permitting them T.
remain in the Courthouse gallery.
