the authenticity OF the National Gal
lery Admiral" Senior Aureliano de
Beruete, who has studied the Woburn
picture. has no hesitation in proclaim
ing il the original by Velssquez of the
other version which he considers
copy by Mazo. There are several diff
ferences TO be noted, especially in the
background, and the pentimenti, or cor
rections in outline, as so often with
Velasauez, are here very noticeable.
In quality the Woburn example is su-
perior to that in the National Gallery,
and reveals in detail the Characters
tic handling Of Velssquez himself about
the year 1899. the date of the National
Gallery picture.
This is a curious delvera7ce. Beru-
etc, who is quoted as though ne were
alive, died three years ago in Madrid.
In the English edition OF his book on
velasquez, which was revised By him
and published in 1905, he gives the
National Gallery portrait to Mazo; but.
as to its rival he only says that IAN
other portrait OF Pulido-Pareja at
trbuted to Velasquez belongs 70 the
Duke OF Bedford" and that Professor
Justi does not believe in its suthen-
ITCHY" Nor does his son, whose book
on "The School OF Madrid" was pub
lished in 1909, and who repeats his de-
structive criticism Of the National Gal
lery picture, say anything at all about
the one at Woburn Abbey. II the elder
Beruete is 20 be cited thus fatty, on
such an important point, We ought at
least to be supplied with evidence OF
more specific character. From the
reproductions of the two, which we
place side by side to-day, We should
Judge that the primacy of the National
Gallery example is still mistaken. The
Beruetes, father and sen, are shrewdly
persuasive in what they have 70 say
about il, but, for our own part, we
have never been able TO think that
Mao was quite competent enough TO
have painted it.

Works In Sculpture by Mrs. Bryson
Burroughs and Drawings by VI. Pascin.
There are about forty sculptures in
the exhibition which Mrs. Bryson Bur
roughs is making az the gallery of the
Berlin Photographic Company, a collec-
tion formed to give fairly comprehen-
sive view OF her talent. She has ideas,
and ffom the figures here displayed,
which are TO be brought together in
a monumental fountain at the Panama
exposition. we gather that she knows
how TO invest a decorative design with
R more than purely plastic interest. In
pose and gesture, as we'll as in the eX-
preston that hovers around eyes and
lips. her Oriental figures point to an
unusual gift for Characterization.
These winning souvenirs Of an ingeni-
Gus fancy do not lead ia, however, to
the essential quality OF her art That
is the quality Of a patient realist, get
ting al the truth in straightforward
fashion. Her best work Is done in the
field OF portraiture. There her various
busts abundantly illustrate her sym
pathy and her craftsmanship. They
are admirable portraits and they are
ably modelled. There are pieces in the
show, studies of children and graceful
fgurines, which draw from their sub
jects a certain charm. But a truer
measure OF what Mrs. Burroughs can
do is supplied in the busts and in the
larger nudes. She needs scale 10 ex-
pose the special virtue Of her tech
nique, which is an uncommonly signif-
icant simplicity. It falls short Of yield
ing the highest and finest effect. II is
perhaps a little self-conscious. The
subtler beauties of form escape her
method. But il is a method on the way
