some superficiality in an
artist with a talent which
otherwise might carry him a
great distance. The work
of the late Prof. Legros
shown at the same gallery
has well commemorated the
great dignity of feeling which
characterised everything from
the professor’s hand.
“pan’s devotees
We are reproducing a
realistic study of a head
from life by Mr. Carlo
Nieper, a native of Dresden
now settled in London, who
has achieved successes here
in portraiture, notably in the
instances of portraits of Sir Herbert Tree and Sir
George Alexander.
The Sketch Society’s third exhibition at the
Royal Institute Galleries in January was the best
they have held. It was full of vitality as well as
variety. Especially deserving of comment on this
occasion was work by Messrs. J. P. Beadle, E. S.
Lowe, G. C. Drinkwater, W. T. M. Hawksworth,
Steven Spurrier, Terrick Williams, Moffat Lindner,
Claude Hayes, Frank Gillett, W. Monk, Douglas
Fox-Pitt, G. L. Stampa, J. Hassall, and Miss Clark-
Kennedy.

AN CH ESTER.—We give here an
illustration of a commemorative wall
tablet which bears witness to the
discreet taste of its designer, Mr.
Gordon Forsyth, who is
head of the staff of
designers of the well-known firm, Pilkington’s
Tile and Pottery Company, of Clifton Junction,
near this city. Mr. Forsyth is a versatile artist,
and his many landscapes and figure-studies in
various mediums point to a high standard of
accomplishment.
