At the New Gallery there are Fewer Signs oI

there. The portraits I have already deScIiOeu'
and there are not many figure pieces ana an
picture of a young Dutch maiden Antclpd-
ton" is the most charming bit of genre paint
lrg, and so refined is it in feeling, so true Is 1t
in its sense Of proportion and atmosphere
that regret must he expressed that SO
little of her work is exhibited. Mr. Adr4ah
Stokes's Afternoon in Forest" has a qualli'
character of its own, and suggests inc
thought that he has been dreaming over MI
Hewlett's Forest Lovers" rather than taxing
notes in a sketching tour. Mr. Wetheroees
idylls and pastorals of woodland and sea are
always charming and dainty, even if he paints
many OF them and invariably reminds one of
his previous pictures; but Mr.. Stott does not
lack freshness and variety. His "Brdcage' is
the simplest trihe, a peasant child in mist of
sunlight but there is truth of observation in 1t,
and there is charm well as subueV In the
play of light His Cider Press" with the mel
low glow of the barn and the sunlight streak
ing the apples, is equally effective picture
Sir William Richmond's Tuscan landscape and
CHASTITY Before Easter are hardly worthy OF
his reputation; but there is at least one land
scape painter who is coming and will go
higher This is Mr.. Austen Brown, whose spring
and autumn pasture scenes are conspicuous for
diffusion of light a fine use of color and accurate
draughtmanship of cattle and peasants. The
autumn scene with tender twilight is the finest
landscape In the exhibition.
The sculpture, apart from Mr.. Thomass
model, is not of exceptional interest There
busts by Mr.. PomerOy. Professor Bonnani,
Mr.. loft and Mr. Dressler and portraits and
reliefs from other hands The Countess Of Lyt-
ton and Miss Ellaline Terriss are perhaps the
most attractive Subjects and Mr.. loft has pro-
duced striking head of the painter. Mr. Felix
Moscheles. Lord Wemyss, a veteran in years,
if amateur in art has surprised his friends
by producing a workmanlike statue OF Venus
at her toilet, with Cupid her helper. It
may not be Greek, but 1t is his own work, and
the head of the Venus is beautifully shaped.
There miniatures, enamels and Jewels to
complete this rather meagre display Of sculpt-
ure. OF course. there is the wax Lycidas,
sratched from the Philistines of the Academy;
and if he be neither graceful nor handsome, the
ankles support every pound of weight, the ell
bows are workmanlike and the muscles are
thrilled with the rhythm of life!" If Burne-
Jones and Watts no longer alive to en-
rich the New Gallery with works Of genius. a
Greek master has been reincarnated with hymns
Of praise from Chelsea, and Lycidas holds out
his arms to welcome all corners. I. n. F.
