The artist is a talented young man,
and all his works are distinguished
by careful execution, minute anato-
mical treatment and distinctive
character.

D. Nicolina de Assis, a pupil
of Rodolpho Bernardelli, had two
interesting works, a study of a
head, with a certain grace of
contour; and a very delicately
treated little sleeping girl. Auguste
Girardet had two admirable portraits

able essays on painters, is full of the
critical acumen for which he was cele-

his memory as well as to that of
the subject of the present work.
Stevenson’s descriptions of the home-
grown artists of Scotland, with their
racy humour and insight into character,
