companions who bring up the rear, almost
as much deinoraized as the festive
Hans and Fritz. The story is exceedingly
we'll told by the careful artist, and the
pair of pictures are really most charming

229-"M Getting of Marie Stuart and Riz.
zio," by David Neal. This exquisite little
work is, we perceive by the catalogue,
owned by the same gentleman. We noted
the above picture as worthy of description
on the opening day of the Exposition, and
now are glad to come back to its examina-
tion. This represents the fair Marie Stuart
descending the staircase Of her royal
residence, at the foot of which the hapless
Rizzio lies sleeping on divan habited in a
suit OF black velvet that sets out to best ad.

ian face. The Queen in the flush of her
naughty youth and beauty comes slowly
down the stairs. followed by the ladies
OF her court and the officers of her house

Drocaded satin is marvel of delicate paint
Ing. Over this sweeps the heavy folds of
her pearl gray train and the long pointed
bodice OF that age, and the Marie Stuart

the subject of this picture with
perennial glamour of romance. The artist
has clothed this romance.in dress 80 beau

again upon this charming creation.
lOI-Flowers by Roster. This is vase of
roses simply. chiefly white and red,
as fresh and fair and beautiful al
most as though gathered this afternoon
amid the dews and fragrant as the breath OF
morning in the month of June. Nothing
could we'll be more really attractive in the
way of flower paintings nor anything more
really nature itself. A plate of cherries
completes the charming conceit that the
artist, he or she, deserves, the thanks of the
public for presenting with such naive sim
plicity.
