VASE PRESENTED BY THE ROYAL PORCELAIN WORKS, COPENHAGEN, TO QUEEN ALEXANDRA
ON THE OCCASION OF HER SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY. DECORATED BY MLLE. DAGMAR
VON ROSEN, THE QUEEN’S SILHOUETTE BY MLLE. ELSE HASSELRUS
Council, Mr. J. A. Ford, had an excellent portrait
of Sheriff McLennan in full-bottomed wig, Mr.
Martine Ronaldson a scholarly portrait of Mrs.
K. S. Robertson and a no less artistic present-
ment of the late Dr. George A. Gibson, while Mr.
David Alison has done nothing finer than his
portrait of a boy in blue; Mr. John Munnoch’s
portrait of the Misses Wyse, here reproduced, is a
remarkably successful work for a young artist, in
its composition, differentiation of textures and
beauty of colour. Both Mr. Alison and Mr.
Munnoch appeared in the artists’ Roll of Honour
published in the December issue of this magazine.
Among the landscapists Mr. Robert Noble has
struck a new note in a romantically treated Valley
on the Tyne, serene in its seclusion from the outer
world; Mr. R. B. Nisbet’s Sicrrey La?idscape is
notable for the delicate beauty of its cloud forms
and the rich quality of the foreground, and Mr.
Peter Mackie is to be congratulated on the advance
registered in his solemn Hill of Oran, which in
small compass realises the majesty of the encircling
mountains. Mr. James Riddell in Tullialla?i Woods
showed a grove of graceful birches complete in
composition and truthful in colour, Mr. Charles

Among the water-
colours the out-
standing feature was
Mr. Stanley Cursi-
tor’s The Nave, St.
Magnus Cathedral,
represented under
renovation but pre-
serving its dignity
amid the distractions of builders’ paraphernalia.

COPENHAGEN—Amongst the innumer-
able beautiful gifts Queen Alexandra
received on the occasion of her recent
seventieth birthday was a very charming
vase, presented to her Majesty by the Royal
Porcelain Works, Copenhagen. It is in what is
generally called the Juleane Marie style (the
Danish queen who took such a lively interest in the
welfare of the works in the latter part of the
eighteenth century) and it is possessed of all the
harmonious beauty peculiar to that period. The
decoration is the work of Mile. Dagmar von
Rosen, who has made a special study of the
decorative style of that time and entirely entered
into its spirit, whilst the silhouette portrait of the
queen has been done by Mile. Else Hasselriis.
