JEAN-FRANCOIS MILLET.
Some Unfamiliar Portraits by the
Famous Frenchm0n.

To most Americans Millet is known simply as
a paiEter of episodes in French peasant life.
This rs natural enough, since he dedicated him
self to such subjects throughout the greater part
of mis- career, and our collectors have perforce
confined themselves to examples of this side Of
his art. But Millet at bottom versatile
We know this from the little nudes which
he painted with charming a touch In his
earlier years, and we know it from the survival
Of certain portraits by him. One Of these, the
portrait Of himself. has often been reproduced.
Far less familiar is the group of drawings in the
collection OF the late J. S. Forbes of London.
reproduced In the February number of 1.-The
Burlington Magazine" issued in this country by
Robert Grier Cooke
They accompany article by julia Cart
wright CMrs. Ady), the last IN a series ON Mr.
Forbes's Mnlets. Four of these portraits are Of
his artist friends Rousseau, Diaz, Barge and
Dupre; one is of an art critic he knew, Des-
brosses; another, executed in pastel is Of Pauline
Ono who married him in 1S41 and died less than
three years afterward. and the last is of Cath
crime Iemaire, his second wife. All OF them are
Interesting and merely as piece Of modelling
the portrait Of Rousseau is mastery. But it is
N the two portraits Of women that Millet is
most charming The one Of Catherine Lemaire
Is In the vein of mis- characteristic peasant
studies. The one Of Pauline Ono has not only
the simple, sincere quality which belongs TO all
of his drawings, but wears also the bloom and
delicate distinction which associate with
particularly fine specimen of Fantin-Latour. 1t
has, too character, an individuality, to which
the latter did not always attain. Decidedly we
are grateful to 1.-The Burlington" for this sheaf
Of drawings
The magazine this month shows in several Oh
its pages the greater catholicity which has
marked its policy of late. The old masters re-
ceive due attention as usual notably in another
article by Lionel Gust on pictures in the Royal
colIection-this one dealing with some striking
works by Lucas Cranach-and in a paper by Mr.
Campbell Dodgson curious wood cut by
Hans SchaufeIein. The illustrations in both
cases are good reproductions, the Adam and
Eve of Cranach serving as frontispiece in a fine
photogravure- But we have to note, also, some
editorial articles modern themes, and an in
teresting, though perhaps too enthusiastic ar
ticle by Mr. Ricketts, on the exhibition at Bur
lington House of works by the late G. F. Watts.
