The picture is broadly exe- cuted and certain details are not al- together pleasing, but the painting as a whole is exceedingly satisfactory. In anoth conception, by Mr. Zorach, the siim perpendicular trunks of the painted trees, in combination with the eros of the forest, are happily rendered and the colors are often striking.
