N° 216. (Gallery.) _The Nuns._

The history of this piece is interesting. The eldest daughter of

CHAMPAGNE was a nun in the convent of _Port-Royal_ at Paris. Being

reduced to extremity by a fever of fourteen months' duration, and

given over by her physicians, she falls to prayers with another nun,

and recovers her health.
