Among the new pictures in Messrs. Knoed
Ier's gallery are an English work by J. Burr,
called ''The New Frock," an interior with
seven figures. "Reverie" By Adfien Moreau,
representing pretty girl, seated before
spinning wheel, just outside an open door,
and several other choice specimens of
Boldini, Gerome, Zamacois Corot and others.
In shaus' gallery there is new and
charming example Of W. Bouguerenu-a
young girl knitting-a fine specimen Of Pal
maroli's delicate work, and several excellent
pictures by Gerome, P. j. Clays, Jacquet,
Goubie and others,while q water-color draw
ing by Adam has all the purity and finish
for which that artist is famous.
The paintings and sculptures of Sarah
Bernhardt, of which 80 much has been said,
now on view at Sarony's saloon, are we'll
worthy of visit. A Marine View, and
"The Young Girl and DEATH" are remark
able for delicacy of tone and sweet color,
while the marble statuette of the fair Sarah
herself, and the bronze bust of NJ. de Gerar-
din, are fine in modelling and In every res
pect true works Of art.
j. Rollin Tilton, whose works have been
exhibited here in Moore's "American Art
Gallery" has taken them to Boston. They
are generally accounted bad in color and un-
satisfactory.
Henry Bacon also, who has just returned
from Paris, is about to give the Bostonians
an opportunity of seeing his work.
The salmagundi Sketch Club will short
ly holds its annual exhibition here, and
have invited the Etching Club to exhibit
with them. Both of these clubs have done
good work in their brief existence, and de-
serve cordial support.
Among matters of personal artistic inter
est it may be mentioned that Mr.. B. f
Reinhart, the well-lpown historical ant
portrait painter, whose pictures are SO wide
ly reproduced in popular form, is understood
to be preparing for publication a number o
his chief works, among them EUangeiine
Katrina Van Idssel, Consolation and 7h
Nymphs of tie Wood. AS these will be is
sued un der his own immediate supervision
something choice may be expected. He i
so busy, however, with portraits, a numbe
of which await his leisure, that he ha
scarcely time to do anything else. AmonI
the pictures which have lately left his easel
are "Buds and Blossoms, ""Decoration Day
and "The May Queen" all excellent AM
finished WORKS.
Mr.. Constant Mayer, whose name is s
familiar to lovers of art, has under weigh
work which possibly surpasses any of hi
previous achievements. 1t named "Evan
geline," and illustrates the line of th
poem
Halfway down to the sea, Evangeline waite
in silence"
The costume is very exact Historically, a
the painter had its specially made from de
signs, and the attitude of the girl is full c
poetic meaning, while tha landscape an
general relations Of tone and color are yer
beautiful.
