to be finished. Gibson’s work, on the other
hand, always bears the stamp of completion.
Two pictures by young Glasgow artists are
worthy of more than passing notice—George
Square, by Andrew Law, a hugely difficult
subject, treated with infinite care and ability;
and The Red Parasol, by Somerville Shanks, a
still-life study of subtlest quality.
There remain to be added a few words about
the water-colours, though many sentences might
be written on a Crawhall gem that gives
distinction to the section—The Duck Pond, lent
by a fellow-artist, J. Whitelaw Hamilton, who
greatly prizes it. There are charming drawings
by W. Russell Flint; a clever figure-study by
Mrs. Laura Knight ; an interesting Egyptian
drawing by A. B. McKechnie ; a liquid Marine
sketch by A. K. Brown, R.S.A. ; an animate
portrait study by James Paterson, R.S.A., and
a delightful fantasy by F. Cayley Robinson.
The modelled section, while making less in-
sistent appeal, is worthy of more attention
than it receives, placed as it is in an unhappy
position. J. Taylor.

to the joint exhibition of the Royal
Society of Portrait Painters and the
—4 Royal Society of Miniature Painters
at the Grafton Galleries, the time available did
not permit of our including the four illustrations
we now give from that display, namely, Mr.
Skipworth’s admirably composed and in point
of colour entirely agreeable Costume Study of
Miss Evelyn Lichfield ; Miss Kimber’s Mater
Christi and illuminated Prayer, and Miss
Pocock’s triptych in stained wood and gesso.
Miss Kimber is an old student of the Brighton
Municipal School of Art, where the art of
illumination in which she excels has always
been cultivated with signal success ; and Miss
Pocock was until recently at the Polytechnic
in Regent Street, London, where decorative
woodwork attracts an enthusiastic following.
