present the artist has dealt only with
themes connected with the freedom of the
serfs : Moscow, the Red Square, groups
of people, the slaves of yesterday and the
citizens of to-day. Brilliance in composi-
tion, fullness of the crowd element, effects
produced by decorative treatment of
themes, large patches of colour and a
conscientious sense of history derived
from deep investigations in archaeology
lend to the work of Mr. Mucha, besides its
special interest for those who would wish
to see unrolled before their eyes the history
of the Slavonic peoples, pre-eminent
artistic dignity. 0 0 0 0

LONDON.—The exhibition of the
Royal Society of Miniature Painters,
held at the Arlington Gallery, deserves to
be noted because, as a whole, it summed
up well the present-day achievement in an
attractive form of art practice, and because
there were in it rather more works than
usual of definite importance. Among the
most remarkable performances were the
portraits, President Calvin Coolidge, and
Mrs. John Hays Hammond, by Mr. Alyn
Williams, who showed all his accustomed
sense of style, the firmly handled Portrait
of a Man in Grey, My Lord, and Little
Jehane, by Miss V. Brunton, the group of
delicately tinted portraits by Mrs. Emslie,
the vigorous study, The Dean of Man-
chester, by Mrs. E. Palmer, and Lady
Charlotte Laurie, by Mr. E. E. Morgan.
Other things of interest were the two
little nude figures, A Summer Afternoon,
and A Roman Bath, by Mr. Hal Hurst,
the black and white drawings by Mr. S.
Gooden, and the Masonic Medal, by Mr.
A. G. Wyon, and Mr. C. S. S. Packman. 0
From the long list of other exhibitions
which have been held during the last few
weeks, a certain number can be chosen as
deserving of comment. The paintings,
Sun and Snow, by Mr. W. S. Horton, and
the decorative panels and designs by Mrs.
Fargo Thomas, at the Leicester Galleries,
were unusually convincing; the water-
colours by Mr. Romilly Fedden at the
Goupil Gallery did full credit to an artist
who is an accomplished executant and has
very sound taste ; the hunting sketches by
Mr. Lionel Edwards at the Sporting
"LADY CHARLOTTE LAURIE"
