EMERGING PICTURES. 



333 



Our tableau truly a tableau vivant is that presented by 

 the wings of a butterfly those of the "Admirable" (Atalanta), 

 as they grow in size and put on their colours before the eye 

 fortunate enough to see the process of their first expansion. 



A dozen more such tableaux successively present themselves,, 

 each, like the last, emerging, and displaying endless variations 

 in design, in touch, in style, in colouring. Some are light 

 and airy as a day of spring ; some, gay as summer ; some, 

 rich and glowing as the autumn landscape ; some, grave and 

 sombre as the wintry forest, but, like that, presenting grace- 

 ful forms and delicate tracery, brown and branching. 



Now, with the orchestra's concluding strain, the last pic- 

 ture has emerged, a curtain drops, and the gallery is about 

 to close.
