gone no further afoot than to the Zoo,og-
ical Gardens In London. II this b 90,

enough to have been taken from nature. The
environment IL OF minor importance, how
over. and the animals themselves a. pictured
by the artist are full OF the characteristics Of
their kind. The studies are oil In pastel. and
are very good In color. In this respect indeed.
they are notably pleasing. and tho tawny hides

Of the tigers coats are depleted with tints that
In their ensemble possess Q great deal OF dis
tinction. Several numbers are studies for pio-
lures exhibited In London. an In these the
artist has had 40 opportunity to exhibit his
ability In composition. 'Liops Attacking Q
