piece OF work which has left X. q Har-
dies studio this week attracted All unusual
degree OF admiring interest on the part of
the artists Brattleboro friends The sub
Ject is the pOrtraiture on one canvas of
two lads OF eight and four wears, the sons
OF banker at Green Bay, Wis. The bows
are painted standing in costumes of black
velvet and lace of the time of Charles |
The costumes We're designed hy Mr. Har
die, and he has paid great attention to the
absolute correctness of details throughout
The work was done in the main AZ the
Green Bay home of the lads in June and
July, aud we imagine it may have been n
valuable lesson to the artist in the exercise
of tact and skill to keep his subjects in pose
while all the difficult work was being done
The total result is remarkably striking and
artistic. In the pose of the slender, hand
some figure of the elder lad, who stands ont
strongly IN knee breeches and Jacket the
perfection OF ease, strength and natural
ness has been attained. The treatment of
Ihe faces OF both Is unusually successful
ana especially is this the case with that of
the younger one with his long aaxen hair.

is hardly less a study in art is the cotta,ts
which Mr., Harlie is building on the site of
his boyhNod home on Canal street The
cottage is reproduction of the style of the
latter part of the sixteenth century. vari.

complete purity of its style, untouched bv
