shown at last year’s Royal Academy, as well as
several landscapes in which his sense of finely
modulated tonal harmonies is expressed with a
delicate precision.
Mr. William Orpen’s presentation portrait of
Sir William Goulding is, as might be expected, an
admirable portrait de ceremonie, brilliantly painted
with an unwavering brush. Mr. Gerald Kelly, who
confines himself to portraits of Burmese men and
women, shows a very personal feeling for the
beauty of line. Miss Purser is represented by
four portraits, all vividly painted with swift insight
and certainty of touch; Mr. J. M. Kavanaghjby
three landscapes, of which Chapelizod is, perhaps,
the most attractive. Miss S. C. Harrison, whose
work is distinguished by its sincerity and high
technical achievement, shows four portraits, the
most notable being that of “ Father Stafford ” ;
while Mr. La'very shows but one, an accomplished
portrait of H.R.H. Princess Patricia of Connaught.
The work of two young men—Mr. James Sleator
and Mr. John Keating, the latter being the
holder of the Taylor Art Scholarship for this year.

for painting at present passing over Dublin, and
more than one of the younger painters bids fair to
be a “ coming man.” __
The members and associates of the Academy
are all well represented at this exhibition. Mr.
Nathaniel Hone, Ireland’s greatest landscape
painter, has sent eight works—none of them, we
fancy, painted very recently. The subjects are
those familiar to all who know Mr. Hone’s work—
cattle in a lush meadow, waves beating upon
rocks beneath a stormy sky, peaceful river scenes.
Mr. Dermod O’Brien, the President, is represented
by one portrait only—that of the Rev. Canon
Hannay, better known as “George Birmingham”
—a scholarly work in which the humour of the
sitter is admirably portrayed. Mr. Leech, one of
the younger Academicians and the latest member of
the National Portrait Society, has sent his beauti-
ful portrait of a lady in rose and grey which was
shown at last year’s Royal Academy, as well as
several landscapes in which his sense of finely
modulated tonal harmonies is expressed with a
delicate precision.
