Studio-Talk
East's broad and decorative Cotswold Farm, Mr.
E. W. Charlton's The Busy Riverside, and Mr.
Charles Holroyd's finely-arranged plate, A Yew
Tree on Glaramara. There are, too, some note-
worthy contributions by Mr. W. L. Wyllie, Mr.
Thomas Barrett, Mr. A. C. Meyer, Mr. W. Monk,
Mr. Lawrence B. Phillips, and Miss C. M. Nichols ;
and there is an excellent series of engraved book-
plates by Mr. C. W. Sherborn.
Messrs. Obach have on view in their gallery an
admirable group of modern Dutch pictures lent for
exhibition by Sir John Day. Such masters as
James Maris, Matthew Maris, Josef Israels, Bos-
boom, William Maris, and Mauve are amply re-
presented ; and there are a few canvases by other
painters of note. The most remarkable things in
the show are Feeding Chickens and The Four Mills,
by Matthew Maris; The Flickering Moon, by
James Maris ; Mauve's Sheep in the Forest and The
Edge of the Wood, both exquisite in their technical
charm and in their beauty of illumination ; Cattle
in the Meadows, by William Maris; and The
Anxious Wife, a comparatively early picture by
Josef Israels • but there is nothing which can be
dismissed as in the smallest degree unworthy of
a place in such a gathering. Forty-nine pictures
altogether are on view, and of these seventeen are
by James Maris and twelve by Mauve.
We have pleasure in reproducing two good
sketches by Mr. Trevor Haddon, a sometime pupil
of the Slade School in the time of Mr. Legros'
directorship. Both sketches are of scenes in
Toledo, and both are animated and clever. Among
the other illustrations is a water-colour drawing
(p. 195) by Mr. Wilfrid Ball, From the Messina
Gate, recently exhibited at Messrs. Agnew's; while
on p. 196 Mr. Frank Wasler is represented by a
study of moonlight.
A little time ago we gave currency to the report
that Mr. Alexander Fisher was thinking out a
scheme for the encouragement of enamelling and
of metal-work. Mr. Fisher has now issued a
circular in which the whole scheme is explained,
and he trusts that he may soon be able to open
his studios for the teaching of design, of silver-
smithing, and goldsmiths' work, and also of
enamelling. The project which he has in mind
involves so much expense that it cannot be
carried into effect without assistance, and there-
fore it is to be hoped that a sufficient number of
pupils will present themselves to enable the classes
to be formed. As Mr. Fisher has no intention of dis-
continuing his own work, he has formed a good staff
of assistant teachers from among his old pupils, and
the aims of his course of instruction will be similar
to those which were carried out so well in Italy by
the Art Guilds. Mr. Fisher will be glad to reply
