selected collection. Prior to the acquisi-
tion of this work, Brangwyn was repre-
sented in the collection by a more modern
and quite characteristic work, Coal Heavers
Going to Work on the Tyne, which was
presented by the proprietors of “ The
Graphic ” through the late Sir R. Kyffin
Thomas. ^ p) p) pi p)

Among other works by notable modern
painters, the Gallery contains three by

G. F. Watts—Love and Death, A Nymph,
and a portrait of Tennyson in his peer's
robes ; a strong impression of a fisherman
by Emile Claus, and some good examples
of the work of Clausen, Mark Fisher, La
Thangue, Waterhouse, and other Royal
Academicians. E. A. Hornel, who was
born in Australia, is also represented,
and there are three works by Blamire
Young. 0000a

Though there is—or at all events was
until recently—only one small work by
George Lambert in the collection, Austra-
lian painters are generally well represented
at Adelaide. South Australia has pro-
duced a number of able artists—such as
Will Ashton, marine and landscape painter ;
Hans Heysen, landscape painter ; Hayley
Lever, who has made a reputation in
America as a painter of sea and land ; and

H. Septimus Power, who was one of the
Australian Official Artists on the Western
Front and was formerly noted for his
hunting pictures. These and others of
South Australian origin are represented in
the collection. 000 W. M.
