England for 40,000 francs, and exhibited there and later in America. It was finally purchased by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt for 555,500 The artist made a replica a quar- ter size of the original, from which the engravings of the picture were taken. This replica is in the National Gal- lery in London, painted in a water color. Rosa Bonheur bought a Gothic Chateau at By, near Fontainebleau, and in 1850 went there to live. Here in 1864, Napoleon III, and the Empress Eugenie visited her studio. The Empress requested the Cross of the Legion of Honor for her, but there was opposition on the ground that the decoration had never been given to a woman except for some deed of bravery and charity, so the Em- peror with-held it. The next year, however, while he was in Algeria, the Empress who was Regent in his place, visited Mademoiselle Bonheur and conferred the Cross. During the latter part of her life, she lived quietly at By. She died May 25, 1899. As a painter she showed a sound and wholesome feeling for nature, not only in the modeling of her animals and in her spirit-representation of action, but also in the truthful landscape setting in which she placed her subjects. This is notable in the Ploughing in Nivernais, in which the sky and up- turned earth are rendered with great truth of relative values. Among her best known paintings are: The Haymaking Season in Auveranej' C1865Dg On the Alert, A Combat Between Two Stallions. In the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York is her Deer in the Forest, and in Lenox Library is her Deer Drinking. PAULINE WILLIAMS, '13. iff Wig 14
