BARRY DOWNING

BY EDITH DOWNING

Anna Alma Tadema. Certainly there is sufficient
good work in the gallery to make the show

and her children there is every evidence that true
sentiment informs the modelling, and makes it
something more than a parade of scholastic know-

to difficulties, but good and sound work characterises
every detail. The bronze bust of Music and the
little portrait head of a boy exhibit a liveliness of
intention and animation that justify us in looking
forward to work of high interest from Miss Downing
in the future.
