he has been very successful In bis
conceptions OF his landscape settings for
they give the Impression OF being truthful
enough to have been taken from nature. The

by the artist are full OF the characteristics Of
their kind. The studies are all In pastel. and
are very good 10 coIor In this respect indeed.
they are notably pleasing. and the tawny hides
OF the lions and the brilliant yellow and black
OF the tlgefs cohts are depicted win tlnts that
In their ensemble possess q great deal OF dis
tinction. Several numbers are studies for pio-
lures exhibited in London. and In these the
artist has had 40 opportunity to exhibit his
ability In composition. 'Iiops Attacking .
