being accomplished watchmen had been employ

Costly Paintings.

Considerably less than a century has
elapsed since Horace Walpole said that
Sir Joshua Reynolds in his old age had
become avaricious because he asked
1000 guineas for the picture of the
"Three Ladies of Waldergrave.
Formerly his prices had been lower
only 200 guineas for whole-length
portrait, 100 for half length, and 20
guineas for kit cat" 1t is needless
to say that no one would part with the
portraits for such figure now. In
1774, for instance, Lord Carystort gave
Sir Joshua 80 guineas for the Straw
berry Girl" which Lord Hartford paid
Expos for at Samuel Rogers sale in
1856.
The great name Of Gainsborough re-
minds us of still more conspicuous in
stances of the same mind. The cele-
brated Duchess of Devonshire we
need not for our present purpose enter
into the controversy as to whether it
was really his-was bought by Wynn
Ellis for e65, and was resold, as every
one knows, to Messrs. Agnew for 10000
guineas. After this extraordinary illus
tration of the fortune found in work
of art, which was worth as many pounds
as it was originally sold for pennies,
others less startling seem to lose some
thing of their point. Yet it ought not
to go unmentioned here that Greuzes
famous Broken Pitcher" which must
now be worth several thousands of
pounds, was painted by the artist (who,
by the way, died in poverty for some
thing like G150-the sum it realized at
the Marquis de Verris sale, in 1885;
and that the "Chess Players" which
Muller sold for rs guineas in 1S43 land
did not think his labor of only two days
il-requited), fetched, thirty years later,
"a, 1853. Over the water-color drawings
of David Cox, even those, perhaps,
which were rejected from the Academy,
comparative fortunes have been lightly
won.
When Mr.. Vokins gave him ESQ for
"The Hayfeld" in 1850, the great artist
was so pleased with what he thought a
liberal price that he insisted on present.
ing a second drawing to the purchaser,
little dreaming that at Mr.. Cutters
sale in 1875 there would be a spirited
contest as to who should take it-as
Mr.. Agnew did in the event-for
e2,750. The profit was not in this case
nor in many others made by the first
purchase, for Mr.. Vokins sold "The
Hay feld," with two other sketches by
David Cox. for ITO guineas to Mr.. Gum
ming, who resold them to Mr.. Quilter
for 1,150 guineas, and the total sum re-
allied for the three at his sale was no
less than 96,047 los. OF Turner's
water-colors the same story should be
told, and should the "Vesuvius Calm"
and the "Vesuvius' Angry" for each of
which Turner got Is guineas, and
which Mr.. Ruskin secured some time
ago for $50 guineas, ever come into the
market it will be curious to note how
enormously their value has been in
ereased.-The Ma0dzine of Art
