bordered with bending trees—and A Day in Early
Spring, Kirkcudbrightshire. Mr. Hal Hurst’s A
Fresh Fancy represents a cavalier in the gorgeous
garments of his day, bowing exaggeratedly before a
girl standing in the snow before a high wall, while
the old lover watches disgustedly a short distance
away. If the subject and the treatment are re-
miniscent of a Christmas almanac, the composition
is good and the figures are well drawn. Mr. Eyre
Walker’s drawing, Night—a grey horse grazing in
the misty moonlight—admirably conveys the idea
suggested by the title, the whole effect being dis-
tinctly somnolent. There are two studies of in-
teriors to be specially noted—Sir Wyke Bayliss’s
excellent drawing of The Golden Duomo, Pisa, and
Mr. J. Fulleylove’s Nave of St. PauPs Cathedral,
London, with its curious broken reflections of
coloured lights. Mr. Soord’s portrait of William
Maitland (Craftsman) is noticeable for its finish
and laborious detail. M. W. J.
MUNICH.—As has long been customary,
the recent Exhibition of the Secession
Society gave precedence to the younger
artists, hanging their work better than
that of their older contemporaries. The critic had
therefore a very favourable opportunity of becom-
ing acquainted with the men of the future at what
is really the very outset of their careers, and the
questions naturally arise : what will painting in
Munich be like ten or twenty years hence ? What
will be the style evolved by the present neophytes ?
