were shown at the recent exhibition Of

deepens instead Of lessons by a second

treatment in this class of work, such a
fine presentation Of color by the use
of but few colors, and such charming
blending Of the mechanical and artistic
effects. that one loses sight Of the etch-
ing qualities by the overshadowing
weight of the paiater-Iike qualities. In
the themes selected Mr.. Potter has

played by these foreign artists in figure
work, Tor many Of the pictures are of
the peasant class OF Italy in their full

that class is for costumes that are gaudy
and attractive. The pictures, however
are not wholly confined TO the peasant
