Studio: international art (27.1903)

Studio-Talk

of art there are extremely good things by Mr.
W. W. Russell, Mr. J. L. Henry, Mr. A. S.
Hartrick, Mr. Mark Fisher, Mr. James Charles,
Mr. Hugh Carter, Miss L. Blatherwick, and Pro-
fessor Brown. Of the figure pictures, the most
remarkable for strength of handling and grace of
composition are The Return from the Bait, by Mr.
H. Tonks, and Needleivork, by Mr. W. W. Russell.
Mr. Tonks shows a fine sense of large design, and
manages a difficult colour scheme with thorough
discretion; Mr. Russell aims more at elegance of
line and delicate suggestion of form. Another
clever canvas is The Chess Players, by Mr. W.
Orpen; and there are two good portraits, by Mr.
Francis Bate, of Mrs. IV. Goldfinch Bate and
Miss Agnes Larkcom, the famous singer. Both
these are full of character and agreeable in colour.
