sists OF quiet pool of water, little stretch
o broken common and street, two or three
Egures, and the unromantic brick houses
beyond, with their still more uuromantic
roof lines and chimneys; yet the picture is q
thoroughly pleasing one, both In sentiment
and effect. The same remark holds good
applied to number OF coast and field
sketches made in the low and undemonstra-
tive country on Cape Cod, where he spent
the summer. All of these, not less than his
finished pictures, are well worth examining.
Mr.. Poole is engaged on portraits at
present, and expects to give most OF his
time TO that line of work this winter. He
also spent most of last summer in Parkers
burg painting portraits, some of which, by
the way, are lying over until next season,
but he nevertheless found time to visit the
Blackwater region, and make some interior
forest sketches and close studies OF the fine
trees and vigorous underground peculiar to
that locality. These will take rank with
the very best work of that kind he has yet
done, not only In themselves, but as prom
Uses OF the future. Several OF them would, in
fact, stand as they are for fairly finished pie
lures, as regards composition, atmosphere
and artistic effect.
Max Weyl sold the beautiful autumnal
view on Rock Creek, which we have hereto
fore described somewhat at length, before il
left his easel. This is the largest, and In
many respects the best, picture Mr.. Weyl
has painted, and il is pleasure to hear that
he received for it also the largest price he
has yet realized for any of his work. It's for
tunate owner, Mr. r. c. Fox, doubtless prizes
IL highly, but we hope he will consent TO
place il where 1t can be seen by the public
before finally hanging il on his walls. In
addition to this important piece Mr.. Weyl
has sold number of his other recent pro-
ductions, and still has orders enough 10 keep
him at work the greater part of the winter.
