included Mr. Dermod O'Brien, Mr. Fagan, Mr.
O'Sullivan, Mr. Morrow, Mr. George Russell,
and Mr. Brougham Leech. Mr. Leech is a
young Irish painter of whom we expect much in
the future. Already he has given us several
beautiful things—his Violin Lesson and a sea-
shore in delicate tones of grey remain in one's
mind as very personal and sincere expressions
of the chose vue. Mr. Leech has just returned
from Brittany, where he has been working for
the past couple of years, and will in future
make his home in his native city of Dublin.
The Limerick exhibition was also noteworthy for
the fine collection of the late Walter Osborne's
works that were on view there. One of the
best of these was his spirited portrait of Sir
Walter Armstrong—full of character, brilliantly
painted—a wholly admirable piece of work.
