Studio- Talk
perhaps the Portrait of a lady by R. Schuster
Woldan. The “ Head ” of a very pretty woman, by
Walther Thor, was also pleasing, and there were
some good “ Interiors ” by Karl Bios which deserve
a passing mention. There is no such love of nature
for her own sake amongst the Luitpold group as
there is amongst the Secessionists; and, whether
their subjects are treated in the old or the new style,
there is a certain mannerism about everything they
produce. It would perhaps be as well that the
Luitpold group should return to their old home in
the Glaspalast.

Philadelphia.—The most important
of the annual exhibitions of works of art
held in Philadelphia during the season
of 1901-2 was opened at the galleries of
the PennsylvanialfAcademy of the Fine Arts on
January 20th, and closed March 1st of this year.
The artists represented at the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo, and many residing tem-
porarily abroad, contributed very largely to the
dignity and excellence of the exhibition as a
whole, although there were indications of over-
crowding the walls with much that might well
have been left out.
The position of honour in the
large gallery was occupied by Mr.
George de Forest Brush’s portrait
of Mrs. Goodwin and Sister, flanked
on one side by Mr. Edwin A.
Abbey’s Penance of Eleanor, Duchess
of Gloucester, lent by the Carnegie
Institute, and on the other by a
landscape by Mr. Charles H. Davis,
entitled Last Rays, lent by the
Union League Club of Chicago.
Miss Cecilia Beaux was represented
by some admirable portraits, that of
Mrs. f. W. Phelps - Stokes being
quite the finest in the way of
technique. Portraits of A. Newbold
Morris, Esq., by Mr. John W.
Alexander; of Captain E S. Greene,
U.S.N., by Mr. Wilton Lockwood ;
of Donald G. Mitchell (“ Ik Mar-
vel ”) author of “Reveries of a
Bachelor,” by Mr. Gari Melchers;
and of Rosa Bonheur, by Miss Anna
E. Klumptre, were quite in the
best manner of these painters
and creditable examples of their
skill.

BY CECILIA BEAUX
Mr. James McNeill Whistler
showed a figure subject, entitled
The Andalusian, and a group of
sixty-six etchings. He was awarded
the Gold Medal of Honour by the
Academy. Mr. William Merritt
Chase was represented by an admir-
able portrait of L. F. Roos, Esq.,
a low-toned study of a young girl
entitled A Fragment, and an ex-
ample of still life painted with the
clever dexterity which is character-
