the water-colours of Mr. H. Tonks, Mr. Steer, Mr.
A. W. Rich, Mr. Moffat Lindner, Mr. George
Thomson, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Bernhard
Sickert, deserve also to be counted among the
greater successes in this section of the show.
Of the figure paintings the chief were the por-
traits of Mrs. M. B. Furse by Mr. C. W. Furse,
and George Moore by Mr. W. Orpen, and the
portrait study of a pretty fair-haired young woman,
The Turn of the Cards, by Mr. Steer. There was,
too, a Portrait Draiving, by Mr. W. Strang, of
quite exceptional merit.
The Society of Portrait Painters gathered together
recently in the New Gallery many canvases of
definite interest. Some of these were well-known
works, painted some while ago—for instance, Prof,
von Lenbach's The Late Right Hon. W. E. Glad-
stone ; The Late Marquis of Salisbury, by Sir John
Millais; Mrs. Cavendish Bentinck, by Mr. G. F.
Watts; Benjamin Constant's Lo?-d Savile, and
four large pictures by Mr. Orchardson, including
the seated full-length of Sir David Stewart. Of
the more recent productions the most adequate
were Mr. H. de T. Glazebrook's Elizabeth, Daughter

of Ernest Crofts, Esq., R.A., Mr. R. Jack's
Portrait Study, Mr. George Henry's Mrs. W. J.
Dudgeon, Mr. W. Llewellyn's Mrs. Andrew Arthur,
M. Besnard's Madame Besnard; and other in-
teresting things came from Mr. J. Coutts Michie,
Mr. F. M. Skipworth, Mr. H. C. Riviere, Mr.
E. A. Walton, Mr. S. J. Douglas, Mr. Harold
Speed, and Mr. John Lavery. An unfinished
canvas, Rouge et Noir, represented Mr. Whistler
only fairly well; and a large group, Gallito et sa
Famille, by the Spanish artist, I. Zuloaga, was one
of the most startling pieces of extravagant originality
in the collection. ,_
A loan exhibition of pictures by British masters
has been open lately in Messrs. Agnew's gallery
for the benefit of the Artists' General Benevolent
Institution. The gems of the collection were two
magnificent seascapes by Turner; but there were
also very important examples of Reynolds, Romney,
Lawrence, Hoppner, Raeburn, Gainsborough, and
other painters of the same period. Nothing was
included which was not really admirable in quality,
and the collection, though necessarily a small one,
was particularly convincing.
Mr. G. C. Haite's drawings of Ve7iice: Colour
