full of canvases of memorable quality. The most
remarkable, perhaps, were the two landscapes by
Daubigny, Les Bords de la Seine and Bords de
Riviere, delightful examples of his work at its best;
but there were as well two very good examples of
Diaz, some characteristic Corots, a charming colour-
note by M. Le Sidaner, Maisons sur la Riviere,
Gisors, a characteristic little Meissonier, Le Joueur
de Guitare, a subtle and delicate study, Bort de
Faon, Finistere, by Boudin, a fine note of colour
and light, Les Berges de la Seine a Lavacourt, by
Monet, an acceptable Sisley, Le Canal Saint
Martin, and a typically expressive and accomplished
picture by Lhermitte, Les Lavandieres des Bords
de la Marne. The exhibition altogether had an
atmosphere of quiet and serious mastery which was
very enjoyable.

At the same gallery there were on view last
month a number of water-colours, drawings, and
lithographs by Mr. John Copley and Miss Ethel
Gabain. The best things in this collection were
Mr. Copley’s water-colours, Sanctuary, Two English-
men, and The Promenade, and his drawing, The
Death of Don Quixote, and the cleverly expressive
drawings by Miss Gabain. The lithographs were
on the whole less acceptable, though among them
were many by both artists which showed a serious
appreciation of the technicalities of the art and a
genuine effort to overcome the problems it presents.
