72. The Indian. In marble. Thomas Crawford.

This sculpture is a repetition of the well known figure in The Progress of Civilization in America, a group executed by order of the Government for the Capitol extension at Washington.

"Resting on a low mound is seated the Indian chief, a nude figure excellently modeled. His head, crowned with tufted feathers, rests sadly upon his hand, the weary chase of life is over, he is dying—the Great Spirit waits to conduct him to the far off hunting-grounds, that dreamy land where souls repose in boundless prairies. His tribe has disappeared, he is left alone, the solitary offshoot of a mighty race; already the axe of the backwoodsman disturbs his last hours; civilization, and art, and agriculture—all mysteries to him incomprehensible—have desecrated his home, and the dark shadows of the past gather him into their bosom!"—London Art Journal.

Purchased from the family of the Artist, and presented by Frederic de Peyster, President of the Society, April 6, 1875.

73. Primitive Marksman. In bronze. Fernando Miranda.

Presented by the Artist, February 22, 1911.

74. Ruth. In marble. Henry K. Brown.

"The artist has chosen the moment in which Ruth is addressed by Boaz as she stands among the gleaners. He quoted the lines of Keats in the song of the Nightingale—

She is not in tears; but her aspect is that of one who listens in sadness; her eyes are cast down, and her thoughts are of the home of her youth in the land of Moab. Over her left arm hangs a handful of the ears of wheat which she has gathered from the ground, and her right rests on the drapery about her bosom. Nothing can be more graceful than her attitude, or more expressive of melancholy sweetness and modesty than her physiognomy."—Extract of a letter by Mr. W. C. Bryant, dated Rome, 1845.

This statue was purchased by Miss Hicks, of New York, and presented to the New York Gallery of Fine Arts.

75. Group of a Boy and Dog; or, Chi Vinci, mangia. In marble. Henry K. Brown.

This playful group was presented to the New York Gallery, by C. M. Leupp, Esq. The boy has left his bowl of milk upon the floor, and the dog is endeavoring to take advantage of his negligence, by appropriating the contents to himself, against which the boy stoutly protests. They are so equally matched in strength, that the struggle is of doubtful issue, and therefore the artist calls it, "Chi Vinci, mangia," or, who wins, eats.

(New York Gallery of Fine Arts, 1858.)

76. Bacchus. In marble.

Presented by Mrs. Howard Townsend Martin, March 13, 1909.
