W. Callcott. Etty's ambitious picture of Joan of Arc in three parts has changed hands on two or three occasions for very large sums, and 100 guineas for either of the three portions would not be an extravagant price; in January 1893, however, one of these compartments went for seven and a half guineas. The same artist's "A Bivouac of Cupid and his Company " realised 260 guineas at the Price sale ; in 1 845 it sold for 370 guineas, and in 1868 for 221 guineas. In April 1893 this artist's " Mars,... Venus, and Cupid, " and " Cupid, " went for 230 guineas and 5 1 guineas respectively, neither of which amount can at all represent the original prices. In 1888 "The Judgment of Paris" and " The Triumph of Cleopatra " sold for ^504 and ^250, the previous prices being ^850 and ^451 respectively. Sir Charles Eastlake's picture of " The Sisters " sold in the Rogers collection for 420 guineas; in April 1893 it changed hands for 35 guineas, the same amount being paid in 1892 for the same artist's large canvas, "Gaston de Foix taking Leave of his Lady on the Eve of the Battle of Ravenna.
