both in colour and composition, but her forte is the
painting of miniatures. From among her works of
this character we reproduce an admirably painted
head, Ruby, against an unusual but effective
vermilion background, and a decoratively treated
portrait, charming in colour, entitled May in June.
Miss Sinclair, who comes from Durban, Natal, has
also studied at the Royal Academy Schools. She
was represented in the exhibition by a number of
works in black-and-white, and some water-colours.
The portrait we reproduce shows her decorative
handling of the former medium, and Spring
Morning, painted in water-colour on silk, is grace-
ful in colour and very skilful in the rendering of
the effect of light.

a special kind of the latter is to be presumed where
facial character can be so
sympathetically stated.
Certain artists who sent to
this exhibition show a dis¬
tinct tendency to let their
work border upon carica¬

of style and extravagant
brush freedom. In con¬
