An exceedingly winning picture is one of a "Young Girl in a Straw Hat" (1366), her right hand on a basket of vegetables, executed by Antoine Pesne, who was quite famous in his day in Berlin, where he resided and died in 1757. Five large and two smaller pictures, the works of the famous marine painter Claude Joseph Vernet, born at Avignon in 1714, a pupil of his father An- toine Vernet and later of the painter of sea scenes, Bernardino Fergioni at Rome, hang in our collec- tion. They are a " Har...bour in a Fog by Sundown, " with some fishermen and idlers in the foreground (1370) ; a "Burning Harbour Town by Moonlight, " harbour and sea full of ships and small boats, while to the right is a ruined tower ( 1371) ; a " Storm at Sea " showing a rocky coast with a lighthouse tower (1372); a "Channel Scene" with a rocky grotto to the left and to the right a harbour town with fisher folk in the foreground (1373) ; a large " Lightning at Sea, " a fort built upon rocks in the middle distance and to the left an open sea.
