She faces theleft and is seen in profile, a strong light from in front of and aboveher falling upon her pale, clean-cut features, which are delicately de-lineated. She inclines her head slightly forward, just enough to per-mit her brow to afford her eyes a partial screen from the brightness.Her mahogany-red hair projects from a black scarf or mantilla whichshe wears over her head and shoulders, and her black waist, slightlyopen at the throat, is adorned there with a single bright red flower.Her right hand catches folds of her garments at her breast; the left,dropped lower at her side, does not come into the picture. Signed at the lower left, J. J. Henner. Purchased front M. Knoedleb & Co., New York4.

No. 7MOONLIGHT BY JEAN CHARLES CAZIN No. 7JEAN CHARLES CAZIN French 1841—1901MOONLIGHT Height, 24 inches; width, 18y± inches A green-clad hill, faint browns and yellows mingling with its ver-dure, slopes from the left and toward the foreground. Beyond it,below at the right in the middle distance, seen over its slanting side, isa broad, flat valley bounded by trees, where among the distinguish-able features of the landscape a conical, brownish-yellow haystackstands up in the dimmed radiance of a cloudy moonlight night. In acleft of the near-by hill a cottage is built, its upper story projectingabove the hillside and its ancient roof glistening softly in the lunarlight. The blue sky—showing a single star—is all but concealed bywide-spreading, thick light clouds, through which the full moon isstruggling to appear. Signed at the lower left, J. C. Cazin. From M. Knoedler & Co., New York, who purchased it direct from the artist.
