copy of the flamboyant portrait of Queen Victoria
by Sir George Hayter in the National Portrait
Gallery, itself a late replica of his original.
The Liverpool Arts Committee in spite of
depressing conditions have plucked up courage to
spend some money in purchases from their Annual
Exhibition. They have bought Sea and Sunset
Glow, by Julius Olsson, A.R.A., and La Dame
aux Fourrures Noires, by Pilade Bertieri, a full-
length portrait of a lady. Also, with the small
income ol a bequest by the Earl of Derby, “for the
encouragement of rising artists,” they secured
James Quinn’s A Japanese Lady and Cattle in a
Meadow, by Andrew
Douglas. In the Black
and White Section twenty-
four etchings and litho-
graphs, selected by the
Curator, were taken.
These included work by
E. L. Lumsden, Oliver
Hall, W. Lee Hankey,
Henry Rushbury, Francis
Dodd, Hamilton Iday, C.
J. Watson, David Water-
son, Percival Gaskell, J.
Walter West, Dorothy
Woollard, Hanslip Fletcher.
Other items among the
Committee’s acquisitions
were a miniature of the
Lord Chief Justice by Chris
Adams, and keramics by
Doulton, Pilkington, Wil-
kinson, and Howson
Taylor. The exhibition,
though the best in recent
years, suffered as regards
attendance, and still more
in the matter of sales,
which apart from Corpora-
tion purchases amounted
to considerably less than
the total of prizes declared
by the local Art Union—
^650; a small sum cer-
tainly but it will be ex-
tremely welcome to the
artists whose pictures, &c.,
have been selected by the
prize-winners. This sum
remained after the Art
Union Committee had patriotically given 10 per
cent, of their takings to the Prince of Wales’s
Fund. T. N.

which have lately been held here in

the most successful was that of the
sculptress, Anna Golubkina. One advantage it
had over the other exhibitions, where in the cause
of charity a good deal of mediocre work made its
appearance, was its unity, for practically the entire
life work of the talented artist, comprising some-
thing like a hundred and fifty pieces of sculpture in
plaster, marble, stone and wood, was represented.
