requirements that some people demand in a work
of art. Particular notice is due to his Milkmaid,
Holland, artistic in conception and beautiful in
scheme of colour. This picture had as pendants
in the principal gallery two paintings by M. F.
Luigini: one an aquarelle entitled The Road from
Nieuport, the other a Flemish Canal, equally admir-
able in both colour and perspective. Near these
were two carefully executed little pictures entitled
Street in Beauvais and La Gloire, by M. Albert
Lechat, whose work formed the subject of a recent
article in The Studio.
Mr. Thomas P. Anshutz sent a Portrait in pastel
that showed him in his best form, and was quite
successful in modelling of the face and hands and
attractive in combination of brilliant hues. Water-
colours by Mr. Taber Sears, The Cedar in Pembroke,
ermuda; by Miss Alice Po hille, Saturday Morn-
ing; and by Miss Paula Himmelsbach, The Acropolis
from Pirceus, deserve special mention as examples
of sound and sane methods of technique. Mr. Colin
Campbell Cooper’s Broadway from the Post Office
is thoroughly characteristic of his work of dis.
covering the picturesque in the streets and sky-
scrapers of New York. The Little Boston Girl by
Miss Hilda Belcher shows one of those delightful
portrayals of the ingenuous child character that are
always acceptable as subjects of the painter’s
analytical study. An interesting picture, almost
in monotone, by Miss Florence Este, entitled
The First Snow, was most effective in the
simplicity of the employment of the medium on a
tinted background. Mr. Louis C. Tiffany’s Street
in Algiers, a fine bit of Oriental life, revived one’s
interest in the works of a well-known painter who
has not exhibited at the Academy recently. M.
