of the exhibition. Notably important, again, are
the portrait study, Robin, by Mr. A. E. John, Mr.
J. E. Southall’s San Gemignano and Ponte Vecchio,
Mr. C. M. Gere’s delicately precise landscapes, A
Tyrol Village and Pastures at Bossico, Mr. Mark
Fisher’s Sheep on the Roadside and An Essex
Homestead, Miss A. Fanner’s Early Morning,
Capetown, Mr. Francis Dodd’s decorative picture,
The Mother and The Green Hill, Dentdale, by
Mr. C. J. Holmes.
In the rooms devoted to water-colours and draw-
ings there is much, besides, to arrest attention.
The masterly water-colours by Mr. A. W. Rich—
especially The Lock, Rickmansworth and Near
Shardeloes Park—Mr. F. E. James, and Mr. W. W.
Russell; the exquisite tinted drawings, The Bather,
The Edge of the Cliff and After Bathing by Mr.
Orpen, the brilliant pastels by Mr. H. Tonks, and
the powerful black-and-white drawing, Head ol a?i
Architect, by Mr. A. E. John are all most memor-
able, and there are others like Mr. Gere’s Cima
Tosa and Bernese Oberland, Mr. L. Pissarro’s Rye
from the Harbour and Winchelsea from Cad boro7
Hill, Mr. A. Rothenstein’s Ronda, Miss H. R.
Lock’s Shipping: Rye, and the cartoons for wall
decorations by Mrs. Sargant Florence, which are
thoroughly acceptable as examples of well-directed
effort. There is plenty of variety in the collection,
variety both of outlook and accomplishment; and
to a very large proportion of the contributors there
cannot be denied the sincerest commendation for
the independence and seriousness of their effort.
They show that they are fully in sympathy with the
traditions of the New English Art Club and are
quite as anxious to make its fiftieth exhibition dis-
tinguished, as the founders of the society were to
give authority and significance to its first show.
The Trustees of the Canadian National Gallery
at Ottawa have purchased Mr. Arnesby Brown’s
landscape, In Suffolk, which was exhibited at the
Royal Academy last summer and subsequently at
Manchester. This beautiful picture was repro-
duced in our issue of June last.
