Campbell Cooper is represented by two paintings
of sky-scrapers of Chicago and New York. They
are a fine rendering of an exceedingly difficult
subject, full of light and atmosphere.
Richard E. Miller is a highly promising young
American who had great success in Paris in last
year's Salon. He has already sold a picture to the
French Government, and received high honours at
the St. Louis Exposition. He shows two very able
pieces, one of which, H77 OA? IFhz/za/z, is herewith
reproduced.

description.
Only one small black

among the works of James
McNeill Whistler, and it is
in no wise important con-
sidered as a part of the
work of the celebrated
painter.
Among the other nations
represented in this room
are two remarkably good
portraits of young women
by John Lavery. Both are
claiming a well-merited
amount of attention in this

Those lovers of art who
are fortunate enough to
see this exhibition should
not fail to visit the Dutch
collection of etchings and
lithographs, to which an
entire room is given. A finer collection is seldom
brought together. Hours could be spent in this
little room with much pleasure and profit. Then,
too, it is a room which one always has a clinging
desire to revisit.
The collection was brought together and hung
by Philip Zilcken, the well-known etcher and Hague
correspondent of THE STUDIO, who shows four
strong pieces. Of the others I can only mention a
few names of the artists represented, for there are
over one hundred and fifty works shown. Among
these are examples by Israels, Havermann Dupont,
Toorop, Van def Volk, Van Derksen Bosch, Aarts,
Kramer and many others of equal importance.
I must hasten along, however, until we come to
the Hungarian section. Here, in this room, is a
surprise for the personally conducted sightseer.
