THE LIVERPOOL EXHIBITION OF WORKS OF

MODERN ART.

NOTICE THIRD.
In Room No. 1, Mr. E. A. Goodall has an excellent
Interior. No. 14, which is described in the catalogue as
" The Chapel of St. Erasmus." The light and shade
of the picture are very good ; and although it has no
gaudy pretensions, no great arcitectural effort to display,
it cannot fail to please as a perfect portraiture of the sub-
ject. Tie painting and effect of the flooring are excellent.
The same artist has another picture in this room, No. 27,
a " South Porch of the Cathedral of Chartres," more
full of subject and th tail, but not so elaborately wrought
out, although an excellent picture of its class.
No. 26, A Shady River—Summer, by F. R. Lee, is an
unfortunate picture. We observe, from some of our con-
temporaries, that it has spcilt the effect of several neigh-
bouring pictures by its greenness. It is a racy and sweet
pa'nting nevertheless, and better deserving of purchase by
any lover of genuine art than many now marked as" sold."
76 is a well-painted portrait by H. W. Pickeregill, R.A.,
es is No. 85, Portrait of John Cropper, Esq., by Philip
Westcott.

/No. 100, Thunder Storm, and 106, On the Thames—
Moon Rising, by E. NiV illiams, sen., are beautiful pictures.
We have already referred to the merit of this artist.

No. 101, Amiens from the Old Bridge over the Somme
—Evening—Twilight, by W.G. Herdman, is a fine paint-
ing, well treated.

121, W. P. Frith, A.R.A. A beautiful fancy piece, as
is 137, A Lady in a Venetian Dress, by the same artist.
129. Alex. Johnston's Repent Murray and Queen
Mary, is not worthy of the artist.

133. View down Loch Katrine, with Ben Venue—
Scene over Glen's Island, West Highlands, by Copley
Fielding, is a pretty little picture. The misty distance is
very fine.

145. Brandford Mill Stream, Kent—Morning, by A.
W. Williams, is a pleasing effort. The morning effect—
half moon, half dawn—is cleverly given, and the repose of
the whole scene perfect. _ .

169, The Pandy 1111118, Denlighshire, J. B. Pyne, is a
clever picture in the peculiar manner of this artist.
No. 170, A Scene on the Wharf; by J. Stark, is also
clever.

212, A Peep into Futurity, by H. M. Anthony, is a
very good picture, full of talent. The landscape is bold,
and striking. Boddington's two pictures, near it-219,
Entrance to a Village, and 211, A Gr2en Lane—Scene in
Kent, are also fine specimens of the painter.
216, in this room, A Virgin and Child, by Mrs. J.
Robertson, is a sweet subject.
No. 15, Portrait of Dr. Muspratl, by W. Trantschold,
is the perfection of portrait painting, and an excellent
likeness. No. 695, The Misses Muspratt, and 696, Mr.
Muspratt, are equally good pictures, and we doubt not
excellent likenesses. _ _ _ _ •

690, Fruit, Miss Mutrie, is decidedly one of the gems
of this style of subject in the exhibition. The basket is
worthy of Landseer's elaboration ; and the strawberries
are excellent.
No. 699, Flowers, from the same pencil, is equally
good.
No. 725, Embarkation of H. R. H. Prince Albert on
board the Fairy, by F. Lloyds, whom our townsmen ate
acquainted with as the very clever scene painter of the
Theatre Royal, Liverpool, is a very meritorious effort, and
conveys well the picturesque character of the scene. Of
course we cannot expect an elaborate picture of such a
subject, so recently witnessed, from the artist. Tois ef-
fort, however, is highly meritorious.
705, Bay of Naples, by Miss Charlotte Naysmith, is a
pleasing landscape, in her bright style. 724, by the same
clever artiste, is A View from Stirling Castle, in a more
sombre but not less pleasing vein.
