VERDURE WITH DANCING NYMPHS: _In a wooded dell are four nymphs dancing.

Beyond is a glimpse of an open pasture with cows._

[Sidenote: Lent by _Dikran K. Kelekian_.]

The strong and brilliant trees throw into sharp contrast the delicate

perfection of the bit of landscape beyond. The nymphs are probably after

Noël Coypel. The use of the red to relieve the general tone of green is

especially successful.
