MEMORIAL TABLET AT ADDEY AND STANHOPE SCHOOLS.
DESIGNED BY H. J.
illuminated pen-and-ink drawings that attracted
most notice, but a series of delicately coloured
sketches, in which, for the first time, the artist
has made a serious and successful effort at expres-
sion in the medium of water-colour. In The White
Rabbit the combination of grey, blue and yellow is
decoratively perfect; in Yellow Rose the gold that
is such a feature in some of the artist’s illuminated
work is here translated into yellow, and gives a
distinctive note amongst the sensitive greens, blues
and greys. A stronger note is struck in By the Sea;
a lone maiden sits silhouetted against a deep blue
sea and dark grey sky, with a wild tangle and clump
of briar roses all round. In Auribeau, an unfinished
sketch in colour, Miss King shows a genius for
architectural drawing. Al-
together it looks as if the
artist is entering on a new
development in which
there will be more ex-
tended scope for a wonder-
fully fertile imagination.

The second exhibition of the
Societe de la Peinture a l’Eau con-
tained a number of noteworthy
works. Fernand Khnopff’s La
Cathedrale is remarkable for its
great depth of feeling, and among
other foreign artists who captivated us, let me first
of all name Mr. J. S. Sargent, who contributed some
dazzling visions of Venice, Spain, and Africa, all
distinguished by a technique both facile and rich.
Charles Bartlett; the Russian Benois; Cassiers and
Charlet, both Belgians ; Gay, the American, who
although he has only recently taken to water-colour,
has succeeded perfectly in that medium; finally,
East, a master in this medium—these artists together
formed an interesting phalanx among the contribu-
tors. Along with them we must not forget the
Frenchman, Luigini, sure in his technique and
revealing more and more individuality in his work ;
Auburtin, who contributed a large portrait; Bottini;
Bracquemond, who sent a fine decorative panel ;

had the pleasure-of finding her here
again, at the Galerie des Artistes
Modernes, displaying the same
qualities and individuality as on that
occasion. She has set up her easel
in the Lofoden Islands, a region
hitherto unexplored by painters, and
has rendered with striking fidelity
the quite extraordinary aspects of
this wild and desolate region, whose
sole inhabitants are a hardy race of
fishermen descended from the
Vikings of old.

Scandinavian
artist, Mme.
Anna Boberg,

works here in 1905, she
at once gained the favour
of the Parisian public, and
now after the lapse of
eighteen months we have “harbour in the lofoden islands” by anna boberg
