Mr. Kavanagh, one of the

trees and the clouds, and,
after examining some half-
dozen of Mr. Kavanagh's
effects, we feel that this
kind of painting is little

portraits, we find Mr.
Walter Osborne and Mr.
J. Butler Yeats well to the

clever portrait of Mrs.
Healey and her daughter,
in which one is impressed
by the " elegance " of the
treatment and the har-
monious blending of all
the details of the colour
scheme ; and two other in-
teresting portraits, equally
characteristic of his

hibits a masterly portrait
of Mr. Henry Geoghegan,
which is painted in his
broadest manner, and with
a sureness of touch not
always apparent in his
work. He shows also a „
