lIIc picture, duu no SllulpSc OF the COuu-
tenance of the watcher to give US hint
as to her emotion. Besides, the picture
lacks in drawing and in finish. She
has so much better and good work in
the gallery that this piece Is disappoint-
ing.
Chris Jorgensen's portrait $50 is ex-
cellent, and Mr.. Stanton's Evening"
(9S) is most pleasing and refined sug-
gestion. The longer one examines it the
better he likes it, and that is an excel
| lent test Of the power Of a painting to
express its thought. Kobayashis GO
ing to Market 91) is an odd conceit
and a fair work. His Study in Golden
Gate Park" (96 is more artistic. J. NJ
e. Partington's portrait of Judge Nc
Kinstry Q1O) is a most excellent work
1t might have been given more finish
| and the ruggedneSs toned down some
what, but it is a strong and faithful
portrait.
| Oscar Kunath's Q2O) Portrait" is
very good, strongly individualized, and
| marked by boldness Of execution. De
Saisset's Study Q32) is that of a half
nude woman, the head, bust and arms
composing the subject. The only OBJ
lection to be raised to it is that it is
over colored. The red is too strong, too
vivid. 1t carries the idea that the model
was rouged to a distressful degree,
which probably she was not. AS por-
traiture and figure work it is superior.
j. A. Stanton's Brittany" Q24 is a
work of superior merit. His studies in
| Brittany were made under the best con-
ditions by Mr.. Stanton, and when he
was in the best of moods for such work,
spurred and stirred by youths enthu-
| siasm. He has preserved in this and his
other Brittany scenes the peculiar hu-
midity Of the Breton atmosphere, and
without which no picture of scenes in
that land would be effective or true. The
canvas under notice is a modest one
compared with some by this artist with
Brittany as a subject, but it is none the
| less fine work.
No. 1876, "Heliotropes," by Mrs. Men
ton, is one of the delicate works this
| lady is capable of. 1t is q small, but
good canvas. Henry Raschens portrait
of Tiburcio Parrott Q3O is a fine exam
pie of good portraiture and good figure
painting. 1t is a bold, vigorous and all
around strong work, and one of the
most prominent of the several portraits
in the gallery.
\ ICI IllHhSoH VI II dil VI Gil Ale1i-
ian Girl" Q3S) Is one Of the best pieces
she has shown in the gallery at any
time in portraiture The study subject
was an italian child the Sacramento
School of Design secured to sit for its
| classes. Miss Hinkson has caught and
transferred to the canvas the amused
expression Of the girl accurately. The
detail Of the work in the draping. the
| cd hna az &c nd ha
ecution throughout full of meritorious
| effort. Miss Hinkson's genius in this
line is more and more recognized as
| high promise.
Nos. 16S, 169 ITO and I'll are by
William Hubacek. Of these oils ITO, up
for Repairs" is the best 1t Is a yacht
drawn high on a beach and showing
sore need for repairs. The drawing in
this picture is it's strongest feature.
However, it is we'll painted. Next in
order Of merit is 16S, a sketch that does
Mr.. Hubacek much credit, who is an ad-
vancing young artist with fine taste and
landscape ambition. He has in the gall
lery work that is superior to either Of
the pieces named. M. Strauss Wait
ing" $50 is neat thing. A wagon
loaded with lumber is drawn up at the
roadside and the driver rests against
it, while the horses doze off beneath
the shade of the roadside. 1t is an odd
subject, but one that has given the art
ist good opportunity, and he has we'll
improved it. E. Greenlaw's roses
Q5D are good. Martha Patterson's "A
Modern Topsy' is fair portraiture.
showing enough Of error and of merit
mingled to suggest that the artist has
capacity to progress.
