Probably the fa- mous shawl which is sald to have adorned the wall of the Temple of Apollo nt Delphl, and upon which was wrought n representation of the sun, moon, and stars, was not so extensive; it 0, it tnust have been a good-sized garment. This represcnts s wolf fightlvg with a pack of liounds {n the depths of n foreat. There are the rugged old oak-trees, with their gnarled branch- cs and follage deepeningand abscaring the back- ground, On the mossy verdure In front the combat Is taking place, The figures are all life- size. The wild beast, tracked to hia lafr by the relentlcss dogs, now stands at bay, and fights with the courage of despalr. Standing there, with head thrown back and mouth wide open, disclosing his powerful jnws dripping with blood, he forms o spectacle fierco enough for the gaze of o Roman Emperor. Already he has vanquished one of his focs, who lics prostrate beneath his paws, the 1ife-bloud running in tor- rents from a gaping wound. Around him on every side are the other ndversarics,—some not. darlng to lead the attuck, and others just ready to spring upon him, Al are Intensely excited, and {t i evident that the wolf will Lave to suc- cumb, Observed from the distance of a few fect, the work can scarcely be dlstinguished from a tine ofl-painting. 1t is perfect in cvery respeet, giving the lights and shades, and perspeetive, wanderfully well.
