and Professor von Lenbach, Mr. J. J.
Shannon, Mr. Lavery, Mr. Robert Brough,
Mr. Solomon J. Solomon, Mr. Harold
Speed, Mr. E A. Walton, the Hon. John
Collier, Mr. W. Strang, Mr. Dagnan-
Bouveret, and Mr. R. Jack contributed
canvases of much merit. Mr. Whistler
sent a delightfully decorative colour study,
Violet and Blue— The Red Feather, and
M. F. E. Lazio a seated three-quarter
length of The Baroness Emile DErlanger,
which deserves to be commended for
its unconventionality of arrangement and
technical strength. A note must also
be made of a pretty portrait of a young
girl by Mrs. Jopling, and of Mr. James
Clark’s very well painted picture of
Madame Ruth Lamb.

At the Holland Fine Art Gallery a show
of “ Oil Paintings and Water-Colours by

Mr. David Murray; Woolmer, Abidlothian, by
Mr. Robert Little ; Chinon on the Vienne, by
Mr. H. M. Marshall; The Gipsies' Saturday
Might, by Mr. A. E. Emslie ; Gather ye Rosebuds
while ye may, by Mr. J. Walter West; and
Durham, by Mr. Albert Goodwin, are of the
greatest value to the exhibition. Mr. E. A.
Waterlow’s Across the Meadows to Christchurch,
Hants, is an admirable landscape, good in
colour, excellently drawn, and very happy in
its atmospheric qualities; Mr. R. Anning Bell’s
figure composition, The Bathers, has exceptional
dignity of style and individuality of manner;
and Professor von Herkomer’s Bavarian study,
The Awakening Conscience, is not only one of
the best things in the show, but also one of the
strongest water-colours he has produced for
some years. A number of attractive black-and-
white drawings, by Mr. Anning Bell, Mr. Walter
Crane, Mr. J. W. West, and Mr. Arthur Hop-
kins, deserve to be mentioned.

Though it cannot be said that the exhibition
which was opened at the New Gallery in
November is to be ranked as one of the best
ever held by the Society of Portrait Painters,
it is certainly worth remembering as a pleasantly
balanced collection of works by men prominent
in the modern art world. Mr. G. F. Watts
