array Of paintings exhibited by himself, Or.
KindlebeTger and Max Weyl, the latter gentle
men also having their studios thrown open for
the occasion. The ROOMS are all handsome, and
were decorated with ferns, brackets, busts, &C.,
and the display OF paintings was exceedingly
fine. In Mr.. Turner's room, besides his own
paintings in oil and water -cOl0rs, were several
hne paintings by Mr. Fisher, Of Richmond, Va,
who has recently established himself in Wash
ington. Many will remember the beautiful life
size head OF Christ, in cTayOD, which was eXhib-
tied in BartOT's gallery some time since. Mr.
Fisher is the artist who produced IL; and this is
sufficient Of itself to recommend him TO notice.
Mr.. Turner eXhibi.ei i q number OF pieces of great
merit, all OF which prove that he IS steadily i'm
proving in his profession. His room was crowded
with callers the entire evening.
DR.. hindleberger's studio was filled with paint
ipgs, all Of which were produced during the SUN.
LIer and autumn. The large coast scenes, the
small sketches OF seaports and other marine views,
and the two interior pieces, all show the hand OF
true artist. The Doctor is selftaught, ald has
been painting but four or tiye years.
Max Weyl had number of lovely llnIsclpes
on exhibition yet, owing to the fact that he mas
made so many sales recently, his walls were not
entirely filled. The autumnal landscape, painted
for Mr. Eisk, of this city, is one OF Mr.. WeyHs
nnest productions, and the large, square view,
looking up Rock creek from the P-street bridge
yet unfinished is beautiful piece, and will take
|. place among Mr.. Weyl's finest works. Among
those who called during the evening were Cansul
General and MRS. HitZ and daughter, eX-Mayor
and Mrs Bowen, the Misses Barker Mrs. South.
