HORSLEY Engraved, when in Gambart's possession, by Thomas Landseer, for whose use the artist painted a reduced copy (H. 3 ft. 11 in. x 8 ft. 2.1- in.), with some changes in details. This copy passed to Jacob Bell, who be- queathed it, in 185!) to the National Gallery, London. Mile. Bonheur, preferring to be represented by a better work, painted a third Horse Fair, which she offered to the National Gallery in place of the hastily ex- ecuted sketch bequeathed by Mr. Bell, but the trustees deciding that they had no power to make the exchange, she contented her- self with retouching the Bell picture. The third picture was sold lately in London. A fourth replica in small (water-colour), with changes, is owned by ('. F. H. Bolckow, Middleborough, England.
