Studio- Talk
A Happy Family, which is full of brilliant
accomplishment.
Religious pictures which combine sound-
ness of painting with correctness of senti-
ment are comparatively rare at the present
time, so that many people will welcome
the appearance, at Messrs. Dowdeswell's
Gallery, of the great composition by
M. Eugene Burnand, representing Chrisfs
Prayer after the Last Supper. It has the
great merit of being perfectly devotional
and sincere, and yet in all details of exe-
cution most carefully and intelligently
studied. It is a masterly achievement—
strong, decisive, and most memorable in its
cleverness—and it is schemed with striking
originality.
The exhibitions of Rembrandt's etchings
which have been arranged by Messrs. Obach
& Co. and Mr. R. Gutekunst claim a word
of praise on account of the general excellence
of the impressions which were gathered to-
gether in each case. It is so difficult now
to find on the market really good examples
of Rembrandt's etched work that these
shows must be noted as exceptionally
important. Between them they summarised
some of the best aspects of the master's
practice, and illustrated many of the most
"vanity" drawn on copper by miss dewar important phases of his activity.

Members of the Dutch
School" is worthy of atten-
tion, because it includes, in
addition to many good
things by Th. de Bock, Bos-
boom, Roelofs, Apol, and
others of the same rank,
an extremely sound and
well-painted view of Dord-
recht by James Maris. It
is large in style, dignified,
and impressive, and has
rare qualities of breezy
atmosphere. By the same
artist is a little Dordrecht
Harbour, luminous in effect
and delicate in colour ; and
by William Maris there
is a remarkable picture,
A Happy Family, which is full of brilliant
accomplishment.
