No. 38ROAD AT THE PALISADES BY ERNEST LAWSON, A.N.A. 1 X. __ Ernest Lawson, A.N.A. American: 1873—38—ROAD AT THE PALISADES Height, 40% inches; length, Z0% inches A fairly scintillating landscape of kaleidoscopic color —refracted sunlight vibrating from land and water, from rocks, trees and sky. The spectator looks upon a precipitous face of the Palisades in a season and at an hour of chromatic glory, the cliff mounting out of the picture high above the foreground on the left, and declining to the river bank in the middle distance. Along the foot of it runs a road, sharing in its brilliant color and crossing a stone bridge above many-hued rocks. The river is a mirror of a robins-egg sky alive with white cloud strata, and the iridescence of road, rocks and steep incline is emphasized by leafless, slender trees, which bring the brilliant landscape more intimately home. Signed at the lower left, E. Lawson-. Purchased from the artist, 1911.

No. 39A MORNING SNOW BY GEORGE BELLOWS / <. George Bellows American : 1882— VI S9—A MORNING SNOW Height, 44% inches; length, 63% inches A portion of the Riverside section, New York, comesunder view on a morning when there has been a con-siderable fall of snow. The air is fresh, crisp and alittle moist, and the sun is out early, dappling the snowwith bluish shadows. A man and a boy, well muffled,are trudging along a park path, where a laborer isclearing away the snow; down near the water levelpeople are going to work near a spile driver, and toright, under the ledge of a hill, the smoke and steamof a locomotive curl upward, rising above the picturebeyond a group of trees. At the left a schooner is tiedto a wharf, while in the center of the composition theeye roams over the broad river, partly snow and icecovered but blue out in the channel, where tug boatsare already busy, and on to the high Palisades shorewith its factories at the water edge and houses on the heights.
