There is something stenographic about

proves this, we think, by the portrait

relies chiefly upon line. Then. too, while

trated in Mr.. Ernest Lawson, who has
at the Madison Art Gallery a collection
Of twenty-one pictures painted in and

approves himself the kind Of artist who
can safely show us work not invariably

has his idiosyncracy, his point Of view,
and his charm. Hence, 1t scarcely mat
ters that he is uneven.
His saving virtue is his honesty a
curiously energizirg trait in this in
stance. He does not seem to be bent
upon bettering nature, but to be content,
rather, with direct and vigorous nota-
ton OF precisely what she puts before
him. When he departs from this whole
some simplicity, though it be by no
more than a shade, his effects are weak
ened. He exhibits, for example, in "The
Battery, New York" one more of those
studies which are always turning up,
aiming at the extortion of something
like romantic picturesqueness from the
piled UP masses of our skyscrapers. Con-
sciously or dnconsciously, he has got a
hint of mediavalsm into the thing. This
IS not New York, but a transmogrifica-
tion of it. Such an impression may have,
of course, an intrinsic charm, but the
truth is that it is not the kind Of charm

we expect from him, and what, fortu-

THE PASTElLlSTS.

Unheralded, and possibly therefore
with better chance Of winning public
favor, new organization swims into
the ken Of those who frequent the exhi-
bitions. At the Folsom Gallery a num-
Der of pictures are shown by body OF
artists calling themselves "The Pastel
lists" Their purpose is not wholly novel,
but very dim in the memory are the pro-
ceedlngs of those Americans who long
ago sought to give special standing to
their work in one Of the lightest Of me-
diums. The Pastellists are cordially
welcome, for two reasons. In the first
place. they present interesting works OF
art. and secondly, it is desirable that they
should have a niche OF their own, foster
ing a wider appreciation of a peculiarly
beautiful kind of picture
The genius of pastel was happily SYM
bolized In Paris, years since, when a
payiIion designed for exhibits in the
medium was given. with characteristic
French Judgment, the graceful lines OF
the eighteenth century. That, OF course,
was the great period Of the pastellist,
the period Of La Tour. A heeting love-
illness, a diaphanous lightness. vivacity,
elegance these are the qualities which

pinks and grays and blues as the worker

at the Guildhall some ten years ago, and
has never been able to forget, its fra
grant character is so clearly proclaimed.
Velasquez never painted more dell
cately haunting type than this little
flower Of Spanish childhood. Beruete
has this interesting note on the probable
sitter:
The model is not one of the princesses Of
the House of Austria, who are of such a
different type. on the other hand, one can
not help noticing its resemblance TO some
Of the grandchildren of NelasqueZ 10 be
seen in the picture at Vienna, The Fam
lily of Mazo." which leads me TO believe
that the child is probably the same as the
one depicted standing in this picture who
appears to be between fourteen and sixteen
years Of age. If, therefore, this Is the case
the date Of the work would be about lb42
to 1913, at which time the eldest daughter
OF Mazo and Francisco Velasquez would
be about seven or eight years old, which Is
the age at which she is represented: II we
take into account the characteristics and
technique of the work, this Is the date at
which this picture was painted.
The scholarly critics superstition is
further borne out by the inner signifi-
canoe of the portrait. IT is indubitably
the memorial of a domestic sentiment,
man type. When Velasquez painted
young Infanta Of Spain he performed
prodigies of art, and on a fall Of lace
over rose colored silk, for example,
would wreak such technical magic as
holds the connoisseur Of mere paint
ing TO this day enchanted But the face
Of his little princess, set in the mould OF
Spanish court etiquette, probably the
most rigid formula ever known in the
history Of manners. would somehow ap-
proximate TO the chill immobility OF
waxen doll The child in this portrait
is an individuality. an artless, happy lit
tie girl known intimately and loved.
Through the ennobling touch of the mas
ter's brush she bears herself composedly
and bravely in the company OF his willy
courtier and his very mundane church
man. The three portraits together make
an invaluable boon for the lover and
student Of Velasquez. Decidedly, the
searcher after artistic inspiration will
henceforth count the Hispanic Museum
among the shrines of great paintings.
