334 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 



AN OVINE PASTORAL 



137. This study of French sheep, probably grade fine-wools, 

 was purchased by Nelson Morris (71) on the occasion of a trip 

 abroad, and presented to the Saddle and Sirloin Club. It is a 

 faithful representation of the class of sheep common to French 

 farms, the fidelity of detail as related to conformation and char- 

 acter being most unusual.
