The gray weather has possibly had
the effect of giving 4 sombers tone to
some Of Annie Shaws recent studies, as
it has the title to a picture just com
pleted, ga Gray Day in the Marshes,
an effective water olor, simple in com
position. 1t is quietly luminous, sue
gestive Of the sharp, salt air, clear,
cleyerly touched, and executed with free
dom. The stud y of q twisted and gnarl-
ed old apple tree, denuded Of its foliage,
its crooked, rambling, and interviewer
branches sharply outlined, IS very faith
full to the subject, no doubt, and truth
full MS well, but as the main motive Of
picture renders the comp sition rather
bare and thin. rs n
a new etching received at O'Brien's
is entitled g Potato G atherers. ' IL It is
after a work by August Hagborg,
Scandinavian painter Of much repute,
living in: Paris. The figures, male and
female, which are the motive Of the pic
ture arc Milletesque in type, o little
more refined, perhaps, but Of the peas
ant race, and the occupation speaks Of
the old burden of these later French
realists, t.toil.. 2 The etched plate is by
E. Salmon, and is admirable in point Of
technique. The accents of light and
shade are well expressed, and BY the aid
of dry point, tile &etcherE has added pas
sages Of great delicacy: If the BURN
had been used with more moderation in
modelling the flesh the force Of the senti-
ment of the picture would not come SO
dangerously near being refined away.
The remarque is . hoe, quite appropos.
AS an entirety, tho etching will compare
fayorably with anything published for
4 the last six months. RS
