The winter exhibition of the Royal
Society of British Artists is much on a
par with previous displays. A Coronation
picture, painted by the President, Mr.
Solomon, R.A., and commemorating a
luncheon to the King and Queen, makes
its first public appearance here after a
long delay, and is more successful than

most ceremonial paintings of this kind
usually are ; and there is also from the
same brush an excellent portrait of
Viscount Lascelles, their Majesties' son-
in-law. Amongst the general body of
exhibits are some paintings by Mr. Orlando
Greenwood which strengthen the display,
including besides two portraits of women,
a humorous still-life version of Susanna
and the Elders. Mr. E. A. Cox, a disciple
of Mr. Brangwyn, is also seen to advan-
tage in Autumn Tints, The Potter's Daugh-
ters, and a flower study, all characterised
by an agreeable decorative quality and a
pleasing display of colour. An oil paint-
ing by Mr. Otway McCannell, Storm and
Contrast, Corfe; water-colours by Mr.
Charles Ince (Ruins of Corfe Castle) and
Mr. Kurihara (Scene of Canal, Venice),
and some designs by Mr. John Austen are
