scene with windmills, was restful and harmonious,
while amongst the other drawings, Stormy Weather
and On the Top of the Moor deserve mention for
their fine atmospheric qualities and dexterous sug-
gestion of distance. The Home of the Coot and the
Water Hen, with its fine open sky and soft grada-
tion of tones, was the most successful of the oil
paintings.

Miss Nora Butson recently showed a number of
water-colours of Venice and Ireland at the Modern
Gallery, of which Spring in the Emerald Isle, Bog
near Ballycrissane, and Canal near St Brendoms
wrere the most notable.

The exhibition of Danish art at the Guildhall
has introduced to England a school of painters
with whom there has been little previous oppor-
tunity of becoming acquainted. Some of the finest
contributions to the exhibition are those of P. S.
Kroyer; but especially interesting is his portrait
group of French artists, which is brilliant in its
portraiture. A succession of interior pictures by
Wilhelm Hammershoi reveal a painter of the very
highest mark, but one figure which he sometimes

places in his pictures is unfortunately repeated with
monotony, generally with back to the spectator and
occupying a space in the picture only as part of the
arrangement of the room. Dramatic in the extreme
but full of intensely clever accomplishment are
the historical subjects of C. Zaartmann. There
are two beautiful small interior paintings by Carl
Holsoe. Prof. Lauritz Tuxen’s work is not un-
familiar in London exhibitions in such ceremonial
subjects as he exhibits here—subjects in which he
spends all his energy in accommodating his gifts to
the conventions of official art. In an article in
the March number of The Studio, we dealt with
Baron Arild Rosenkrantz's work ; his paintings
of mystic subjects find little in common with the
matter-of-fact painting of his fellow-countrymen.
The landscape work of Niels M. Lund and of
J. T. Lundbye is particularly worthy of note. As
regards the modern work, the exhibition is charac-
terised by sobriety of intention ; continental enthu-
siasms if caught here have not been pushed to
extremes, though the note of the Paris schools is
apparent throughout and obscures any obviously
Danish characteristics.
