| NOTICES OF THE PICTURES.
NO. H.
The sadtest days Of the year seem to pre-
fer Mr.. McEntee as their faithful portrait
painter. 1t is the bleak season-the time
rather than the place-of which we are
conscious in his November Day" (No. y.
with its cold, cloudy sky, whose very light
is chilly. and the sOmbre reds of its wther-
ed leaves. In his Winter Twilight" (No.
s4) the sky with reminiscence in it of the
brief winter sun light, and the ice which
repeats the light of the sky, are truthfully
given. The mirth of the skaters is remote,
and sinks and is lost in the seriousness and
stiffness CT the surrounding scene These
are no pictures for hasty glance, or for
loud and indiscriminating praise We must
give the artist time to transfer his impress
sions to our minds, and thon We praise
rather in silence.
Ii Is necessary to pass more briefly over
the remaining landscapes. not because that
they are always of less merit than are some
of those already mentioned. but because
they are 50 numerous that one cannot eyen
attempt to do justice to each one of them.
Mr. Thompson is his "Port of Mentone"
(No. l5) has given US picture much re-
sembling his work of last year another
view on the same delightful Cornice road, g,
with the samo blue Mediterranean bordered
by the low Maritime Alps. Two fine
Oriental scenes-both of excellent drawing
and perspective of line art tint, and OF the
most faithful execution-are by the emf
mont Mr.. Colman and by the promising
young artist, Mr.. Waller. Mr.. Uolman' 5
(No. 59) has the same admirable technical
qualities as his picture Of last year TO- g.
the painting Of the gravelly soil, and Of
grass on the righD; the figures small but
strongly painted, with air OF life and resl-
ty. Mr.. Walters (No. s5) is highly in
toresting view of the fortifcations of Cairo,
above which rises great mosque with its
slender minaress. and in front are seen the
picturesque tOmbs of the Caliphs Mr.
Miller (No. s7) has striking effect of even
ing light cleaning into the heart of wood,
aud caught in tho water of the foreground
Two bright, attractive pictures, Of the same
minute and careful finish as his much ad-
mired paintings of last year, are from the
studio of Mr. Caslear, an academician of
long and high reputation Mountain
Torrent (No. Ss) descending impetuously
through rocky ravine, and broad Trout
Brook No. 74) with water OF CLASSY smooth
ntss and the most tender of distances beyond
Mr. Thomas Moran's good work shows much
variety OF subject Hi. "Near Waverley
Park" (No. sD is, perhaps. the most strik-
ing iesolate scene, bat with fine sense Of
air and space. and minute drawing of tree
tops as shown against the sky The Gar
kansas Divide" (No 32) is full of careful
execution, especially the snow lying amid
the rocky peaks on the right, and the dsl-
cate painting OF the more distant mountain
on the left. The well-6lled little canvas
mo. 9D is interesting, too. Mr.. E. Moran
(Carnarvon Castle, No. 5s) hasa fine moon
light effect; the many boats bearing color
cd lights give an unusual animation to tho
scene. Mr.. McCord has but one picture, but
that very attractive (NO. s2), with hills
in strong relief AGAINST the mild western
sky, and evening shadows beginning to
close in upon the quiet river. Mr.. Shurt-
