A Dwarf Painting.

What is perhaps the smallest paint
ing in the world is the work of
Flemish artist. The canvas is the
smooth side of kernel of common
white corn. So skillfully has the ar

considerable latitude. There is mill
on terrace, miller with sack of
grain on his back. BY the building
stands a horse and car, and in the
roadway is q group Of peasants.
