2630. COWS STANDING IN A MARSH.

_Corot_ (French: 1796-1875). _See 2135._

How simple are the ingredients out of which Corot makes a picture! A

marsh, two cows with a herdsman, and four willows; but all are suffused

in a beautiful haze, and wrought into an exquisite harmony of tone and

colour. Like all Corot's pictures, this should be seen from some little

distance; the more it is observed, the more will its charm be felt.
