| Mrs. William r. Smith has recently
| received two fine portraits of her late
| husband, painted by Chartran, which
| probably excel in certain respects al
| most anything done by that famous
| artist. one is a bust portrait which
| Mrs. Smith presented to the board Of
| trade, and the other, which is placed
| in her residence on jefferson avenue,
| is a threc-quarters view, which, to
| those who knew Mr. Smith, is tlawless
| as a likeness, as well as in execution.
| 1t will be remembered that Mr. Smith
| placed the city greatly in his debt by
the magnificent gift of Mr.. J. j. AL
| zrights picture to the Albright Mem
| orial Public library. 1t is said that
Chartran himself considered this al
| most the Chef-d' Oeuvre of his fol-
il is more than a portrait, combining
| the best qualities which go to make
| upa perfect likeness with the faScinat-
ing elusive charm of picture. Mr..
Smiths portrait most fittngly hung
in the great library of his late home
so cmbodies the benignity and nobility
of character Of the subject that it is
like a real presence. Another en-
tirely satisfactory portrait by the same
artist has previously been noted in
these columns that of Joseph NJ. Boies
the lamented son of Colonel and Mrs
II. u. Boies.
