Lovers of realistic art will be pleased
to know that Mana" the celebrated
painting by the Russian artist, Sucho-
rowsky. Is coming to Washington. and Is
to be exhibited at lil7 G Street north
west. commencing on Monday. April 5.
Mana" was painted eighteen years ago,
and first exhibited at the Academy of
Fine Arts, st. Petersburg, where 1t oh
tanned for the artist his admission into
the academy Since that time Mana
has been exhibited throughout the large
cities of Europe and America, and has
been pronounced by art critics and pub
lie to be the most life-like picture ever
t,-i'cld This is the first appearance of
''ISana" In Washington, and she comes
with a recommendation of over twenty
weeks continuous engagement in Balt-
more, where it was visited by oyer 10000
people. The Baltimore American" says
that the artist who painted Mana is un-
doubtedy a master of his art The fig
ure. life-size, is gracefully posed. and the
modelling of the head and limbs show a
learned acquaintance with the anatomy
of the human body. The high relief which
he has given to the figure is striking; the
flesh painting is very true in nue. and the
delicate transparency of the shadows and
reflected lights which play on the sur
face of the body cannot but be admired
There is undoubtedly an exquisite flow of
life In the figure from every point of view
Tie face especially has a life-like quality
impaired to it. The large. dark blue eyes
are soft and liquid. and from the par

that Galatea-like. there should Issue some

mean that discouraging film of grey
