picion that several of these pictures have seen no
other light than that of the studio. If Mr. Camp
were to work more out of doors we feel sure that
his next exhibition would prove even more inter-
esting.
One of our cuts is illustrative of the art of
Miss Louise Heustis, whose work at the Hodgkins
Gallery we commented on in last issue. Simi-
larly, we noticed Mr. Leslie Lee’s Mexican work
exhibited at the galleries of Messrs. Moulton
& Ricketts, and one of our illustrations this
month shows a Mexican ranchero. A full-page
illustration of a Mexican rebel is by the same
artist.
Eve and a detail of Eve are the latest work of an
eminent painter and sculptor who divides his time
between Amsterdam and Washington, D. C. Mr.
Theodore Molkenboer, chevalier in the order of
Orange-Nassau, is best known as a portrait
painter, but he has worked in genre, in nude, and
has also executed a series of fourteen decorative
pictures in the Cathedral of Batavia, Isle of Java.
A very successful painting of his was a picture of
Miss Ruth St. Denis performing a classical dance
at the Hudson Theatre, New York. His statue of
Eve is full of charm and dignity, possessing a dis-

tinction and character which ensure this artist
coming still further to the front.
Messrs. Moulton & Ricketts were showing last
month the work of Sydney E. Wilson, who has
earned a great name as a mezzotint engraver in
color. He was a pupil of Joseph B. Pratt and
associated with him for seventeen years. Mr.
Wilson’s first commission was for Messrs. Vicars,
the subject being Lady Hamilton as Nature. This
was a great success, all the proofs in color being
sold in a few hours. He has worked after Law-
rence, Romney and Gainsborough, and his latest
plate received a few days ago by Messrs. Moulton
& Ricketts was over-subscribed the same day.
The close of Louis XIV’s reign is memorable for
the brilliant fantasy of French painters. The Re-
gency spirit ceased with Watteau and gave place
to the “School of Paris,” when men like Jean
Raoux painted pretty women for private patrons.
The picture by Raoux, which is among our illus-
trations has lately been purchased from the Rals-
ton Galleries by an eminent collector in New York.
