An altogether different note is struck in the graceful and charming
subject of _Bonneville_. Here all is peace and serenity. The foreground
is filled with the amenities of untroubled rural life, the distant blue
and white peaks of the mountains making an excellent foil to the
graceful foliage, white walls and bridge of the little town which
nestles at their feet. The foreground, indeed, is only redeemed from
insipidity by the sharp, firm drawing of the ripples and stones.
