clever Costermongers; and there were other things
like San Gimignano, by Mr. Alfred Withers, Old
Houses, Venice, and Part Feminin, by Mr.
Ludovici, Sleep, by Mr. Douglas Robinson, and
the large Flotverpiece, by Mr. W. B. E. Ranken,
which were of very definite interest. Of the portraits
and portrait studies the most notable were Mr.
Orpen's brilliant Mrs. Carstairs, Mr. F. Whiting's
The Amateur Rider, Mr. A. Jamieson's The
Crimson Cloak, Mr. Gerald Kelly's The Black
Shawl and Portrait Study, Mr. G. W. Lambert's
Important People, Mr. Howard Somerville's In the
Studio, Mr. W. W. Russell's The Shaivl, Mrs.
Rackham's The Straw Hat, and Sir James
Guthrie's excellent portrait of A. Stodart Walker,
Esq., painted for the Scottish National Collection of
Modern Art, and reproduced among our illustrations
this month (opposite). The study A Young Girl, by
Mr. W. L. Bruckman, deserves a special note for its
beauty of technical quality and its charm of manner.
A few important paintings by deceased artists were
also shown—among them Don Quixote, by
Daumier, a fine Interior by Alfred Stevens, and the
magnificent portrait of Mrs. Heugh, by Millais.
There was sculpture by M. Rodin, M. du Chene de
Vere, Mr. Glyn Philpot, Mr. Derwent Wood, and a
few other artists; and there were lithographs by
Mr. Pennell, Mr. Copley, and Mr. Spencer Pryse,
water-colours by Mr. H. M. Livens, Mr. W. Monk,
Mr. F. Whiting, Mr. Bellingham Smith, Mr. E.
Dulac, and the late Joseph Crawhall, and drawings
in various mediums by Mr. A. S. Hartrick, Mr.
Charles Shannon, Mr. G. W. Lambert, and Mr.
A. McEvoy. _
When a painter has become recognised for a
certain kind of work the public at large is inclined
to view with some disapprobation any departure he
may make from the familiar ground. For a really
sincere artist it is discouraging to find his efforts
towards a novel expression met with some lack of
the appreciation that would inevitably be accorded
him did he continue to repeat the accustomed
subjects. One of the most interesting and versatile
of contemporary artists, Mr. W. Lee Hankey, has
been gradually developing on lines different from
those of the very beautiful low-toned pictures—
generally of cottage mothers and children—which
