ECSTASY

BY ARTHUR CRISP

commission was a stone spandril for Bagshot
Park, residence of the Duke of Connaught. Var-
ious fountains, statuettes and portraits quickly
followed, including one of E. A. Cole, the sculptor,
which brought her membership of the Salon des
Beaux-Arts, Paris. For the last two years the
artist has been busy in New York with many com-
missions, including a portrait of little John Jacob
Astor. Her work has unusual qualities which
single it out in any exhibition.
We take pleasure in announcing the Whatman
contest for which many good prizes are to be given.
This is an unusally important competition, and

any one interested can obtain folders at the art
stores or art schools, or by applying direct to H.
Reeve Angel & Co., 120 Liberty Street, NewYork
City. The gospel of Whatman paper cannot be
be spread too urgently.
The picture by David, reproduced on page
cxxxvii, is part of the late Isaac D. Fletcher’s be-
quest to the Metropolitan Museum, and is prob-
ably the gem of this great collection valued at
2,000,000 dollars. Mr. Fletcher acquired the
painting at the beginning of the present art season
from Messrs. E. Gimpel & Wildenstein who pur-
chased from the grandson of the lady portrayed.
