Another of Mr.. Karffman's favorites IS a
Corot.

One of the best and most interesting
paintings In Mr.. Kauffman's gallery is a
picture by Fibert. entitled The Church in
Danger. 1t shows a Cardinal playing
cards with a lady. She is winning the
game and smiles in triumph to a friend near
her.
In Mr.. Kauffman's collection are excellent
representations of the origin of several
schools of art.
The Corot Is one ard the painting by Hen
