familiar to visitors to
London exhibitions, more
especially those of the
Royal Institute of Painters
in Water-Colour, of which
he is a member. The print
we reproduce as a supple-
ment is a capital example
of his work in another
branch of art. The print
was produced from a single
block and subsequently
tinted to the effect desired.

Mr. Whydale, of whose
art as an etcher we re-
produce four examples, is
an artist in that he ex-
presses a personal view in
a medium whose limita-
tions he recognises and
observes. His problem
has been that of all true

“the ploughman’s team.” from an etching by e.

at the Goupil Gallery in Regent Street, and in
common with other statuettes reveal a peculiarly
refined sense of form and

etchers, namely, to suggest
Herbert whydale q^g manifold planes and
colours of Nature by
means of line. Another quality in his work which
is worth noting is its independence of tricky

decoration. Statuettes
such as those illustrated,
in which the precious
metals are employed,
represent of course a very
luxurious form of art, but
most of the figures ex-
hibited were in bronze,
and there was also one in
gilded and painted wood.
The artist is Italian by
birth, but studied at the
Ecole des Beaux-Arts in
Paris and has regularly
exhibited at the Salon of
the Artistes Frangais since
1901. His bronzes have
been purchased by the
Musee du Luxembourg,
Paris, the Musee d’Art at
Lyons and the National
Gallery, Rome.
