Studio: international art (20.1900)

Studio- Talk

Amy Sawyer, Miss Fanner, Mrs. Jopling, and Mile. Marie
von Parmentier; and there is quite a large array of good
drawings by Miss Margaret Bernard, Miss Coughtrie, Miss
A. B. Woodward, Mrs. Allingham, Miss C. L. All port, Miss
V. Oakley, Miss A. Barber Stephens, Miss A. B. Giles,
and the Marchioness of Granby. The total number of
exhibits in the pictorial section exceeds two thousand,
and this is supplemented by a very interesting group of
applied art examples most of which are of superlative
quality.

Mr. Gilbert Bayes, in his equestrian statuette of The
Sirens of ihe Ford, blends romance with that degree of
realism which is permissible in sculpture. The knight's
legs are somewhat too short, but the spirit of the group
has a winsome manliness, and the horse is modelled
with sympathy and force.

WREFORD MEMORIAL CROSS

BY EDWARD S.

The Wreford Memorial Cross, illus-
trated above, was made some years ago
as a tribute to the fine character of one
of the best oarsmen that Cambridge had
then produced and lost. It is a cross
in cast silver, with jewels of agate; the
dove's wings are slightly gilded, and the
fiat surfaces are burnished. Cast work
is seldom entirely satisfactory, and who
does not feel in this graceful cross that
the movement of its outline is broken
where the rounded part of the stem
joins the angular metal base ?
