"The most minute painting of detail characterizes this figure in gray and white seated on a carved wooden coffer near a table upon which are fruit, wine, and silver plate. The falconer is amusing himself with his three falcons, while his dog lies at his feet. It is imossible to describe the microscopic elaboration of every part of this picture.

 It reminds us somewatht of the work of Bargue. Whithal, the ensemble is good, and the color is very agreeable in its quiet tints.

 From the Artist.
