portrait, very finely painted, of a woman seated.

Prof. Rodolpho Arnoedo had an allegorical paint-
ing done in modern tempera. Modesto Brocos
exhibited two regular and well-balanced portraits,
and a genre picture of Brazilian country-life, the
Southern Cross—a fine decorative painting. This
artist made a distinct hit with his etchings re-

Gustavo Dali’ Ara showed a view of our market-

Benjamin Parlagreco, the landscapist, some splen-

and Benno Treidler, the water-colour painter,
some of his usual glowing and impressive draw-

genre picture and aplein-air subject; and Auguste
Petit, Angelo Agostini, Benjamin Corestante Neto,
Evencio Nunes and Luiz Ribeiro, the marine-
painter.

In the sculpture-room were some remarkable
works by Prof. Rodolpho Bernardelli, which
included an impressive bust of the late journalist
Ferreira de Araujo, a portrait which demon-
strated the remarkable technical qualities of this
artist.

Octavio Correia Lima, a young Brazilian artist
now in Rome, sent a St. John the Baptist in
plaster; The Prisoner, a small bronze statue of
an Indian, with a wild and defiant expression;
