sent to the last exhibition proved him to be an
artist of great ability. C&tsr is a very
interesting study in physiognomy; but Faven's
masterpiece last year was without doubt the

one of his pictures—allegory or portrait, historical
composition or plastic group, fresco or landscape.
He was an artist born to emulate the great
"CHESS PLAYERS"
