§55 XIX. OTHER COLOURED DESIGNS. 159 



In PI. xlvii. xlyiil, " Indian quiver and fan, powder- 

 horn," &c.j the tone of the red accords very badly with the 

 blue ground and gold thread. The effect, therefore, of the 

 quiver, where the red is less apparent, is far better than 

 of the others. The addition of green in the pouch of 

 PI. xlviii. gives it a discordant effect. 



In PI. xlix., " a pattern of Indian lacquered work," the 

 uppermost design has a pleasing character ; and the second 

 and third are simple and agreeable, though the light ground of 

 the border in the second does not accord with its centre part. 



In PI. lv., " Italian hangings of the sixteenth century," the 

 colour is disagreeable and discordant, and the design tasteless 

 and ill conceived. 



PI. lviii., "painted glass, modern German, copy from an 

 ancient work," is rich in colour ; but besides the faults inse- 

 parable from a mere painting on glass, the pattern on the 

 ground is offensive, both from the size of the leaves and 

 flowers and its general effect. The blue, yellow, and black are 

 more harmonious than the red of the flowers dotted here and 

 there on the same ground. Here the difference of black 

 in contact with yellow, in the upper, and of black with 

 green, in the lower, part of the dress of St. Catharine, shows 

 (as I have already stated) how little black and green accord 

 together. 



In PI. lx., " upholstery-work and wall-papers," fig. 1, the 

 green, red, and yellow want other colours to enliven the design, 

 and give it some degree of harmony ; fig. 2 is wanting in 

 arrangement of colour — the blue and white are too salient 

 for the rest, and do not combine with them ; the ground is 

 injured by the pink and green placed upon it, which are 

 themselves a discord; and fig. 3 has a monotonous sameness 

 of hue. 



The general effect of colour in the "jewelled bottle," 

 PI. lxii., is pleasing ; but the " Indian spice-box," PI. lxviii.,
