than the original is at Pere la Chaise. Rodin
has sent a dozen works, his Victor Hugo monu-
ment included; Riviere-The'odore half-a-dozen of
his statuettes in silver, ivory, etc. There are
many works by Meunier, Carabin, Troubetzkoy,
Vallgren, Van der Stappen, and Yencesse, and the
biggest collection of works by the late Jean Carries
ever brought together. Altogether it is the pick
of the French and Belgian work exhibited in Paris
last year.
The display of paintings is not quite up to that
of the other departments ; the foreign contribu-
tions, however, are at least of a high standard, if
not very numerous. George Sauter chose the
English pictures, and he has sent an excellent
selection. There are Lady Somers and five other
works by Watts, W. Crane's Persephone, excellent
portraits by Rothenstein and C. H. Shannon,
Sauter's Marc Hamburg at the Piano, two pictures
by Strang, others by Muhrmann, Greiffenhagen, etc.,
besides a good number of pictures from Glasgow,
which latter have met with splendid success,
three-fourths of them being sold within a month
after the exhibition was opened. Of late, one has
not expected to see much that is good hailing from
Spain, and when an artist like Zuloaga loomed up
in the Salon a year or two ago he attracted a great
deal of notice at once. We have seven large paint-
ings by him here. Of further foreign pictures
I will note only two more — Orlik's delicious
portrait study of a Japanese girl and Laermans'
The Path of the Oppressed, the best of his paint-
ings ever seen here.
The German section is not quite up to the
mark. It is not to be wondered at that Berlin,
Darmstadt, and Munich, which all have exhibitions
of their own this year, have not been very eager to
make a good display with us ; but even other art
centres, like Weimar, Diisseldorf, Karlsruhe, and
Stuttgart, have not exerted themselves; and
