be designed—that is, the composition of the
figures does not occupy much more than the
lower half of the design. The new panel repre-
sents the presentation of a charter to the Merchant
Adventurers by Philip the Good, Duke of Bur-
gundy, an ally of our Henry V., and interest is
naturally focussed on the Duke, who is here shown
arrayed in a gorgeous vermilion robe. In historical
compositions of this kind one is apt to find more
or less sameness in the expressions of the figures,
but Mr. Cox has avoided this fault. The donor
of the panel is Sir Frederick Green, who is identi-
fied with the Orient Shipping Company.
The seventeenth exhibition of the Pastel Society,
held in the galleries of the Royal Institute of
Painters in Water Colours last month, suffered
from a defect to which we have more than once
referred when noticing previous exhibitions of the
Society. It is that far too many of the works
exhibited revealed a disregard of the proper
function of pastel, a light and graceful medium
which will not stand being manipulated laboriously.
If some of the more aggressive examples of its
improper use had been eliminated we could have
spoken of the show as a success, for it was not
lacking in really good work, calling for sincere
commendation. . We noted particularly the Paris
subjects by Mr. Terrick Williams, and especially
Le Quai des Orfevres, a set of six by Mr. J. R. K.
Duff, with subjects from Venice and Lugano, a set
of the same number by Mr. George Sheringham,
Mr. Leonard Richmond’s In Somersetshire and The
River, Mrs. Esther S. Sutro’s A House in France,
1905, Mr. Littlejohns’ A Spanish Bridge and The
Vermilion God, Mr. Arthur War die’s leopards
Resting and other animal studies, some dainty
studies of femininity by Mr. Lewis Baumer, and
Study for the Head of a Siren by Mr. Herbert
Draper. There was also interesting work by
Mr. S. Melton Fisher, Mr. John Charlton, Mr.
Reginald Jones, and Mr. T. F. M. Sheard ; and
we. should have admired Mr Wynford Dewhurst’s
work the more if his colours—and especially his
