" THE DUCK POND." ETCHING
BY SIR FRANCIS NEWBOLT
The etching here reproduced on a small
scale was, many years ago, the Diploma
work of Sir Francis Newbolt at the
Painter Etchers'. It was also exhibited
at the Royal Academy, and in Bristol,
Dresden, Stockholm, Bradford, Cape
Town, Toronto, and elsewhere. There is
also a copy in the British Museum. It is
the only one of the etcher's 140 plates
which was entirely completed in the open
air, and never afterwards added to, altered
or retouched. The work had to be done
on five successive days (near Cromer) at
the same hour, followed each evening by
bitings in the acid. Its original title
was By Overstrand Hall, but it is often
called The Duck Pond. 000
The colour plate, The Hoorn, Kaas
Markt, reproduced from a pastel paint-
ing by Mr. Davis Richter, is notable as
a characteristic example of the work of an
artist who has during recent years proved
himself to be both versatile and accom-
plished. He is a very able still life painter
and in this branch of practice he has
produced much that is decoratively sound
and technically satisfying ; he has painted
many clever pictures of factory subjects
and industrial motives, and he has done a
number of attractive things of the type
here illustrated—this one shows well his
sureness of draughtsmanship and his skill
in the adjustment of subtle tone relations.
The other colour plate, Marigolds, by
Miss Hilda Kidman, was shown at the
Maddox Street Galleries a few months
ago. The artist, who was first a student
at the Slade School and afterwards a
pupil of Mr. Frank Calderon, is an
exhibitor at the Academy and other
galleries and has gained attention as a
painter of portraits and pictures of famous
racehorses. 00000
Mr. Harry Watson's water-colour, A
Town Girl, appeared in the summer
exhibition of the Royal Society of Painters
in Water Colours where it certainly ranked
among the cleverest things shown. It has
in ample measure the expressive freedom
of handling and the effective vivacity of
statement which always distinguish his
