Studio- Talk
the central feature of the group with another
work, Cremorne Gardens, both very interesting
examples of the late artist's methods. Miss
Cecilia Beaux had three portraits in the exhibi-
tion, the most important one being that of
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, wife of the President
of the United States. Charming colour, com-
bined with delightful freedom of handling,
redeemed somewhat careless drawing in parts
of this work. The portrait of Mrs. Barton was
not quite equal to Miss Beaux's best produc-
tions. Mr. Edmund C. Tarbell was represented
by a number of works, notably by a family
group of very life-like portraits, the draperies
and accessories well - handled, but perhaps
lacking in unity of composition. His picture
entitled Girl and Dog gave one an excellent
idea of his skill as a painter, andwas most
pleasing in general effect. Mr. Edwin A.
Abbey's Sylvia, lent by the Hon. W. A. Clark,
attracted particular attention on account of its rich
colouring, not only of the flesh tints but of the
draperies and other details. Quite as good in
their way, although entirely different in conception
and execution, were the works of Mr. J. W. Alex-
ander, of which the most representative one was
entitled The Rose, a beautifully drawn figure of
a young woman, in which was shown the subtle
atmospheric effect of subdued colouring combined
with clever management of light and shade. Mr.
Walter MacEwen sent an admirable picture, effec-
tively treated and carefully drawn, entitled A
Secret. Washington Brigade, by Mr. C. Hassam,
was worthy of particular notice as a conscientious
and truthful representation of a winter land-
scape. Prince Pierre Troubetzkoi in his Por-
trait of Master M. William Wright, succeeded
in rendering in a delightfully free manner the
character of a young yachtsman. Miss Mary
Cassatt was represented by one canvas, La Femme
an Chien, faultless in drawing and original in colour
scheme. Of the drawings in water-colour, the
views of " La Saluta" Church in Venice, at
noon, sunset, and twilight, by Mr. Walter
M. Palmer, were undoubtedly the clou of this
part of the exhibition. Mrs. Emma Lampert
Cooper entered some excellent drawings, The
Boston Stump, England, and views of Wells
