A description Of Rosa BonlIeur's latest work
is most interesting. The picture which is
called "Ths Duel" has been put on private
view in London. The work depicts the COM
bat in 1874 between the celebrated stations,
the Godolph Arabian and Hobgobliu. Tie
scene is a sunit paddock in Lord Godolphin's
stud farm at Cog Magog, near Cambridge. The
magnificent black Arabian has already almost
overcome his hardly Jess handsome antagonist,
the nearly white Hobgoblin. Rearing up and
biting furiously, the victor is not only striking
Hobgobliu with one OF his fore feet, but with
his enormous chest he is pressing upon him.
He is about to throw the weaker animal over
on tho meadow, and, although Hobgoblin
vengefully bites his enemy's right shoulder, it
is manifest that he cannot long resist an utter
defeat. The design is not only one of the most
lifclike OF tho great artists making, but in
the masculine drawing and accom- piished mod
cling OF the horses, equals any of her former
productions. Mile Bonheur's rare sense of
style is manifest at its very best in this pow
erlrl picture in which, the horses being nearly
half the size of life. the effect brilliant sun.
light and tho coloring rich and limpid, THAT
sense has full play. The result is = triumph
not the less wonderful when VIC remember
that the artist has just passed her 18th birth
