being!!genial in"' character and free from those
errors in taste which are apt to spoil the efforts of
men who, in this class of art, allow party spirit to
overpower their sense of humour.

A small exhibition of recent works by Professor
Legros has been open lately at the Ryder Gallery
in Albemarle Street. There were in it a number
of gold-point and chalk drawings, several etchings,
a few water-colours, and an oil painting of particu-
lar note. This oil painting, La Ferme Abandonee,
is memorable as a very important example of the
artist’s monumental design—severe in its forms,
solemn in its sentiment, and impressive in its
reticence and sobriety of colour. Among the
drawings were some exquisitely delicate studies of
heads, and the water-colour, L'Automne, showed a
happy combination of tenderness and strength.
The etchings marked very clearly the change
which is taking place in this branch of his practice.

From one of the most strenuous and powerful of
etchers he is developing into an exquisitely delicate
executant and a lover of the most subtle effects.
In all sections of the show his keenness of artistic
perception was made very evident.

Mr. Gutekunst has been showing at his gallery
in King Street, St. James’s, a collection of impor-
tant etchings by old and modem masters. The
chief feature of the exhibition was a series of eleven
plates by Samuel Palmer—vigorous tone studies,
nobly romantic in sentiment, and much to be
praised for their qualities of design and execution.
Besides, there were adequate examples of Rem-
brandt, Albert Durer, Claude Gellee, A. Van
Ostade, Meryon, Whistler, J. F. Millet, Professor
Legros, Mr. D. Y. Cameron, M. Helleu, and Sir
F. Seymour Haden. Such a gathering made a
very wide appeal by its variety and merit.
