SKETCH DESIGN BY FHCEBE MCLEISH
decorative figure subject, fzz Af/gzzMj, by
Mr. Louis Davis. Mr. Frank Mura shows
some masterly drawings in charcoal; and Mr.
E. R. Hughes a couple of chalk studies, which
are far more convincing than his water-colours.
Several of the other contributors send interesting
drawings.

Mr. Herbert Draper's studies in chalk and
pastel, which have recently been exhibited at the
Leicester Gallery, deserve to be remembered as
typical productions by an artist who is carrying
on the academic tradition with both taste and
discretion. He is a serious and scholarly
draughtsman, and he has studied the human
figure with more than ordinary care, so that he
is able in the preliminary drawings which he
makes for his pictures to express himself com-
pletely and persuasively. This series of about
seventy studies was chiefly made up of
68

figure subjects, but it included also a few oil
sketches of bits on the sea-coast, which he has
turned to account in the backgrounds of several of
his recent pictures. At the same gallery has been
on view a group of paintings of India by Mr. R.
Gwelo Goodman, vivacious records of eminently
picturesque motives set down frankly and with
much brilliancy of effect.
