Mr.. FRANK B. MAYER's New PICTURE
On the easel of Mr.. Frank B. Mayer, of
Baltimore, one of our best artists, who Is
now residing in Paris, is picture called
the &" Mill Boy of the Slashcs of Hanover"
1t tells the romantic story of the boyhood
Of Henry Clay, and shows the youthful ora
tor, with bare, Drowned legs and rude
dress, riding to Hill on horseback with his
grist behind him. The landscape is made
from actual sketches in the ''Slashes," and
most adequately reproduces the grandeur
and wilderness of the Virginia forest. The
horse is of the best blood Of the Old Domin-
ION, but not too we'll kept. The sun burns
down hotly, but slight breeze is stirring
the leaves, and blowing back the long yell
low hair from the brow Of young Clay,
whose face already CLOVIS with that fire
which burned 20 grandly in his later life.
The conception Of the picture is admira-
Bile, and its treatment in Mr.. Mayors hands
will be as bold and free on the one hand,
and as conscientiously careful and thorough
on the other, as the subject itself demands,
and the artists singleness Of purpose and
love for his art will insure, This is an Anne.
rican historical picture that is well worthy
the name, and one that will materially add
TO the artists reputation, and to the repu-
tation of American art in general. Mr..
Mayer, who has been in Europe for several
years past, intends to make visit to the
States some time during the present year.
