from its present owner, De Witt v. Hutchings
of California.
This painting a large canvas with figure
of the Virgin fully life size. was IN the Con-
vent of Barefoot Carmelite Nuns from 1878 to
1907. when it taken to Paris by Jean
Baptste Pierre LIE Brun, husband of the artist,
Vigee LIE Brun. In 1911 it was sold through
a London dealer named Harris to Sir Thomas
Barring, head of a house of English bankers,
and in his family it remained for 108 years.
In 1919 the Earl of NorthbroOk of the house
of Barring sold the painting Three years later
the dealer who purchased it sold it to the
present owner. When Mr.. Hutchings first
brought the painting to America it was hung
as loan in the gallery of the HiSpanic So
ciety, New York. Then for a year it was
shown in the Metropolitan Museum in that
city Later it was exhibited at the Chicago
Art Institute and then at the Brooklyn, Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences Finally, it went
back to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. to
be included in it's great Spanish exhibition
held in the Spring of 1928. Historically. it
is well known. Two Spanish writers described
it while it was still in the Carmelite convent
at Madrid 1t has been repeatedly engraved
and reproduced and cataIogued. While in
the possession of the Barings it was shown
in London in five notable exhibitions The
labels of two of these exhibitions are said to
still be on the frame.
Mr. Hutchings, the present owner, partly be-
of his association with the Mission Inn
at Riverside, partly through personal predilec-
ton. has made special study of Spanish art
and he and his wife have collected many of
the beautiful Spanish works, both in the field
of art and craftsmanship. now to be seen at
Riverside. He has great veneration for this
beautiful painting, and reasonably SO. With
the two best known versions of the Con-
ception by Murillo-one in the Louvre, the
other in the Prado-this work compares most
favoraby; by some it is given preference. It
is in excellent state OF preservation and shows
little no evidence of restoration. The color
is neither faded nor darkened, but it has
the charming quality which comes from age.
In this painting the Virgin is seen dressed in
white with q heavy dark robe around her,
standing above the world amid the clouds, with
the crescent moon at her feet Her eyes are
cast down. her hands in an attitude Of prayer.
In the clouds upon which she stands and those
which surround her are charming figures of
