National Portrait Gallery.
He is a prominent member

principal coadjutor another

New English exhibitions,
Mr. C. H. Collins Baker,
who was appointed Keeper

like Mr. Holmes, while
quite modern in his practice
of art, has also shown a
scholarly appreciation of
the older schools. The

Mr. Holmes at the National
