Frederick George Cotman, R.I.

“twilight: the banks of the orwell” (water colour)

BY F. G. COTMAN

It can certainly be said for him that in all the
phases of his art he is an earnest student with
remarkable powers of observation and expression
and with a vigorous individuality which gives a
clearly defined character to his work.

That these qualities have been widely recognised
can scarcely be disputed; his pictures have found

their way into many of the chief public galleries—
into the Walker Gallery at Liverpool, where there
is a large canvas, One oj the Family; into the
Oldham Corporation Gallery, where there is another
large picture, Her Ladyship's first Lesson ; and into
other permanent collections which represent what
is best in our modern art—and he is ranked by

“winter sunrise on the alde” (oil) {In the possession of T. R. Parkington, Esq.)
