Gilbert Stuart's Financial Shifts

Charles Henry Hart, apropos of VOLTS
engraving lii the Century from Gilbert
Stuart's portrait of Mrs. Greenleaf, re-
cords some of the financial shifts the
great painter resorted to.
While Stuart escaped the old Fleet by
removing from London to Dublin. he es-
capped the Irish bailiffs only. for short

the artist had done him that he was only
too glad of IAN opening that offered for
Stuart's escape.
After residing in Dublin for nearly four
years, Stuart determined to return to his
native land; but not having the means to
pay for his passage, he engaged, as it's
equivalent, to paint the portrait of the
owner of the ship, John Shaw, wine
merchant of New York, and he landed
toward the end of 1892. The commonly
received tradition that it was his great
admiration for the character of Wash
ington, and his desire to paint his por-
trait, that brought Stuart back to Amer
lea, is one of those half-truths that are
equivalent to falsehoods. Sir Thomas
Lawrence. upon hearing this reason as
signed, said: "1*knew Stuart well. and
I believe the real cause of his leaving
England was his having become tired of
the inside of some Of our prisons" And
that was indeed the fact.
Stuart began a large. number of por-
traits in Ireland. for which he was paid

to Herbert, the author OF Irish Vari-

the country which through this month at

three times per day. Cows at pasture do
much better if left in the field at night,
or turned to pasture early in the morn
