back from Italy. This artist has the gift of har-
monious and delicate colouring, and knows to
perfection how to transfer to his paper the charm
of Italian gardens ; at the same time I should have
liked to see some of his drawings carried a little
further. In one of the rooms at the George Petit
Galleries M. Fougerousse gathered together some of
his large and charming water colours. He is often
most happy in his choice of subject and in the
composition of his pictures, and even in his Vene-
tian scenes succeeds in avoiding the almost
inevitable repetition of well-worn themes.
I must defer till next month my observations on
the annual exhibition of the Societe de laPeintuie
a l'Eau, which is too good to be dismissed in a few
words. It is otherwise with the exhibition of the
old Society of Aquarellistes, where I saw very little
of note. Here the old-fashioned classical style of
water-colour drawing holds sway, though the several
pictures by Mile. Carpentier and by M. Henry
Paillard made an agreeable diversion by their very
personal style.

At the Gallery of M.
Bernheim jeune, M. Rene
Quillivic showed about
fifty pieces of sculpture
and a number of paint-
ings, all of which were
very interesting, and which
consisted, for the most
part, of figures of Breton
peasant folk. Here we
had a true artist of his
province, and his work
appeared to me to gain
distinction by its rugged
and somewhat rare sim-
plicity. At the Druet
Gallery M. Laprade
showed sixty water colours
