PORTRAIT STUDY FROM A DRAWING BY KONSTANTIN SOMOFF

darkened London ; and at
the same time Mrs. Tilley
exhibited some sketch por-
traits of children in pastel
which showed a pleasant
use of the medium.
By permission of the
donor, the Hon. Mr. Justice
Younger, there have been
on view at the Medici
Society’s galleries Mr.
Louis Davis’s fine me-
morial windows for the
choir of the Cathedral
Church of Dunblane. The
first series comprised the
Allegory and Chaos win-
dows, and this month the
Earth and Humanity
windows are to be seen.
The colouring is extremely
beautiful, and the design
has the accent of tender-
ness to be found in all
Mr. Davis’s work, which,
while free from any trace
of austerity, is never lack-
ing in dignity and refine-
ment. The exhibition
contained among other
things eight drawings for
the S. Margaret windows
in Paisley Abbey and a
number of reproductions
of the artist’s works.
significance of Mr. Pennell’s theme in many of the
prints. As they stand, however, they form a
remarkable chronicle of a rare order of beauty
brought about in the unhappy circumstances of
to-day. At the same galleries a series of studious
water-colour and pencil drawings, each pervaded
by a characteristic sense of style, represented the
lighter side of the art of Mr. Oliver Hall. Land-
scapes in oil and pastel by Mr. Tom Robertson
have also recently been the feature of an exhi-
bition at the Leicester Gallery.
Walker’s Gallery also had an exhibition labelled
“London in War Time,” in which Miss Maud
Bell showed some clever impressions in water-
colour, mostly of night and twilight effects in

MOSCOW.—The Lemercier Gallery in
this city, the proprietors of which are
of Belgian nationality, recently arranged
an interesting exhibition in aid of the

members of the group of artists known by the title
“Mir Isskousstva” (World of Art). The piece de
resistance of the display was a small room con-
taining over twenty works by Konstantin Somoff,
the majority of them familiar to the public through
reproductions, though the originals had never before
been exhibited in Moscow. There can be no
question that between the works of this artist’s
early years and those that have issued from his
hand quite recently a very perceptible difference
