“the mother”

BY WM. M. CHASE
Camp’s portrait of Dr.
Horace Howard Furness,
painted for the permanent
collection of the Academy,
while not a large canvas,
showed the author of “Va-
riorum Notes ” on Shake-
speare’s plays in the
scarlet robe of an Oxford
D. C. L. An excellent
portrait of Joseph Wharton,
Esq., by Mr. Julian Story,
deserves special praise. A
capital piece of character
painting by Mr. John
Lambert is Albert Cheva-
lier as ’Awkins. Artistic
in conception, direct in
execution, every touch of
the brush telling with
magical effect, the work
easily took rank with any-
thing in the exhibition.
In The Last Supper by
Gari Melchers, a large can-
vas crowded with figures
to need further comment. The por-
trait by Mr. John Singer Sargent of
The Rev. Endicott Peabody, headmaster
of Grotton School, in Massachusetts,
looked like a successful one, and was very
impressive in drapery of academic robes.
Mr. William M. Chase, in the group of
portraits entitled The Mother, did not
appear to have lost any of his habitual
facility of handling light and delicate
colour schemes, and certainly suc-
ceeded in putting before us a beautiful
representation of three charming person-
alities. His portrait of Mrs. Horace
Jayne also showed him at his best, and
gave one a most attractive impression
of a beautiful woman. Miss Cecilia
Beaux’s portrait of Mrs. John F. Lewis
showed marked freedom of handling
and bold brush-work quite delightful to
painters and yet not overdone in the
estimation of the laity. A portrait
group by Mr. Carroll Tyson, junr.,
challenged attention by the novelty of
the placing the figures in the canvas and
yet was very successful. Mr. Joseph de
