To begin with the ladies, there were at the
exhibition of the " Mir Isskusstva" two women
artists whose work calls for mention—the talented
wood-engraver Mme. A. Ostroumova-Lebedeff, who
contributed a series of Dutch scenes, many of
them of quite large size, admirably executed in
water-colour and full of intimate feeling, and
secondly Mme. Serebriakova, who was represented
by a large painting of women bathing. In this
work the artist has attempted what is a rare
achievement among modern Russian painters—a
composition with numerous figures, in which a
feeling for form is the dominating- characteristic,
though the effect of the whole is considerably
marred by the monotony of the colour scheme.
