her is picture of a high bred Span
ish lady. the descendant of famous old
general. She has noble lineage be-
hind her, which is depicted in her aris-
tocratic face, her patrician pose and a
something majestic and queenly in her
carriage that is almost arrogant. All
this Gertrude Partington has exqui-
sitely caught, and she is certainly TO be
congratulated. on the point of perfec-
ton to which she has brought her tai
ents in this line. Another equally
strong sample is her sketch of Joaquin
Miller and of the little Wanamaker
girl of Philadelphia. In striking con-
trast to these are the two or three oil
portraits she has recently completed,
done with a bold, sure touch, wholly
different to the light, clear strokes of
her dry point pictures.
Gertrude Partington has recently fin
ished portrait of Mrs Robert Kirk
patrick of New York, and one of her
brother, Edward Howard Partington,
both:in oils. Unfortunately, most of her
drawings and paintings she left-in her
studio in Paris, and she has really very
little work to show out here, but that
little; proves what she can do. In ar
tistic circles the belief is expressed that
she Will decide to remain out here for
the present and opens studio.
L. p. Latimer, has been doing some
particularly stunning work in oil land
scapes since his return from the coun-
try, and while they have not yet been
put on collective exhibition, there are
two or three hung in the local galleries
that are very attractive. The most
striking: of these is a scene in Sonoma-
county, now on view at Schussler's. 1t {.
is one OF the strongest of Latimer's
WORKS anywhere in this city, showing
him at his.very best in coloring de-
sign and execution. The scene is
evening in tile sunset glow, the trees
and water in the. foreground being
dark with the shadows of night. The
peace of night is over it all. The
trees, the ground and the water with
its. long reflections are so deep a green
as to be: almost BLACK. but over them
all'is cast a rich rosy. glow, the last
of the sunset before it fades. 1t really
may be said to be magnificent, it is
painted in so rich and royal a key.
There will be- several of his other can.
vases later on view in the same gallery,
While at his studio in Fourth avenue
there are any number of pleasing
scenes that should be hung for public

De Neale Morgan has returned 20
Carmel and reopened her Studio there
for the winter For the last month she
has been painting at Los Altos and in
the countryside around Los Gatos and
San Jose.
A number of her sketches will short
ly be sent here to be on view at Gump's
and Schusslers, and many of these
promise to be very interesting, as they
are in new note for her. up to last
summer Miss Morgan was content With
her landscape work in oils and water
colors, but this year she began figure
studying while sketching on the beach
at Carmel and she has been turning
out some very commendable work in
this line. Her landscape work is well
known here. Her sketches are delicate
and exquisite, the greatest attention be-
ing paid to the seasons play of color
ing. Very daintily in her work does
she portray the years changes-fronlI
the light greens of spring to the golden
reds of autumn. She contemplates a
trip here in the near future to super
wise the placing of her work, in which
case she probably will remain in town
for the month of November.
The Norwegian painter, NJ. Hagerup.
whose works are daily winning greater
recognition in our local art world, is
about to close his studio here for the
purpose OF travelling alongi the; coast
line as far south as the Mexican border.
The trip viii be taken, leisurely, as he
intends to make sketches Of the seen
cry on the way to add to the many
beautiful marine views already pro-
duced by his hand. There are splendid
canvases by Hagerup at nearly all of
our local galleries, representing the sea

strong and bold, and while they all deal
with the same subject there are no two
alike, but all are wonderful. His trip
south may extend into the late winter.

March before he is established : gain in
