touch, but they seem to have gained in subtlety as
well and in sympathy with the charm of nature.
His Provencal Farm is a marvel of dazzling sun-
light hard and definite in its glaring force and yet
neither coarse nor exaggerated, and the characteris-
tically English rustic subject, Tucking the Rick, is
quite delightful in its management of transparent
shadows and strong reflected lights. The presence
of such works as these two and the same artist's
Goslings and Marsh Marigolds does much to
compensate for the other deficiencies ot the Royal
Academy.
The sculpture which can fairly be called impor-
tant is all to be found at Burlington House; but
on the whole it is not so attractive as it might have
been. Only a few large works which arouse any-
thing like enthusiasm are on view, and there seems
a fuller array than usual of portrait busts which
are of no interest to anyone but their owners.
However Mr. J. M. Swan's Bov and Bear Cubs,
Mr. Thomas Brock's colossal statue of Mr.
Gladstone, Mr. H. C. Fehr's Dr. Cartright, Mr.
Alexander Fisher's bronze allegorical group The
Past, the Present, and the Future, and the huge
equestrian statue of Edivard the Black Prince, by
Mr. Brock, which has been placed in the Academy-
quadrangle, are of conspicuous merit; and the
busts of The Marchionness of Granby, and Alfred
East, Esq., A.R.A., by Mr. G. J. Frampton,
Professor Arthur Schuster, by Mr. Alfred Drury,
R. J. Gregory, Esq., R.A., P.R.J., by Mr. H. A.
Pegram, Mrs. Herbert Ward, by Mr. Goscombe
John, and The late Dr. John Hopkinson, F.R.S.,
by Mr. Hamo Thornycroft, claim special mention.
There are, too, some pretty statuettes, for instance
Mr. Pomeroy's The Snowdrop, Mr. Goscombe
John's Merlin and Arthur, and the exquisite group
Love's Coronet, by Mr. W. Reynolds Stephens.
Several works by the late Mr. Onslow Ford are
exhibited; they make very evident the serious
loss that English sculpture has sustained by his
death.
