Studio-Talk
for his own use, and intelligible only to him as
notes of ideas finding final embodiment in marble.
The Catalogue contained the names of an unusual
number of women, and they contributed some of
the best work in the collection. The work of
Miss Alice Schille, Tivo Children, and a number
of sketches made in Brittany should be especially
mentioned. The first-mentioned picture is a work
expressive of tender sentiment as regards subject
and very successful as an example of pure water-
colour unaided by the use of opaque pigment.
Miss Violet Oakley’s sketches of the Children
of Dr. George Woodward reflect credit on her
ability to depict the character of the child in art.
Miss Elizabeth Shippen Green exhibited a group
of portraits of the Children of Owen Wisfer, Esq.,
simple and unpretentious in pose and treatment.
Miss Lucy Conant’s pictures of the Garde?is of
Famous Roman Palaces deserve particular notice.
A series of original drawings by Maxfield Parrish,
depicting scenes from “Wonder Tales of Greek
Mythology,” and another series of illustrations for
the “Arabian Nights Entertainments” lent by
“ Collier’s Weekly,” showed wonderful wealth of
imagery combined with masterful skill in drawing.
Thornton Oakley’s original illustrations of Scenes
about the Docks and Blast Furnaces were extremely
interesting and served to show the picturesque side
of our industrial activity.
The irresistible onward rush of a great wave at
Proufs Neck, Maine, rendered by Winslow Homer
in a direct and forceful handling of simple washes
of colour, has resulted in a refreshing work
suggestive of the mighty power and movement of
the ocean. Henry B. Snell, in a Cornish Fishing
Cove, showed the sure touch of the well-trained
brush and gave us true and convincing results.
Excellent each in his own way are J. Henry
Moser’s September Haze, and A Long Island Beach,
by W. L. Lathrop. Harold B. Warren’s West
Mountain, Mt. Desert, is conscientious and careful
in painting and truthful in effect. A fine piece of
still life painting was shown by Joseph Lindon
Smith in A Roman Vase. The Beck Prize was
“MARKET, VERONA, EARLY MORNING”
