The success Of the exhibition Of
modern prints held at the Keppel gal
lery in 1920 has encouraged the prcpa-
ration OF another affair of the same
kind, but of new material. 1t will open
this week, bringing forward prints by
Daumier Dclacroix, Degas. Forain,
Manct, Corot, Millet, Pssarro, &C.

Davies
There IS d little collection OF fine
eighteenth century color cngravings of
English and French origin occupying at
present part Of the Vildenstcin gal
lcry. Among the most delightful in
quality and Of line and color are the
pair entitled "Children at Play" by the
English cngraver Ward. "L'Amant Sur
prise by Descourtis reflects the af-
fuence and rich feeling for sentiment
and design in the national art char
acter OF the period. Others of this
type arc by the we'll known cngravcrs
Bonnet and Janinct, while Demarteau
has done several plates after Boucher
and Huet. One fine series BY Jauinet
are from subjects by Lawrence, and
Bartolozzi has done Reynolds's "The
Cottagers" in his well-defned manner
AS no showing of English engravings
would be complete without sporting cx-
amples, there are two fine specimens in
bistrc By Jukes. "a Visit to the
Grandfather" by Ward, and compan-
ion subject by Smith. are others quaint
examples Of the English school.
In the main hall OF the Union League
Club the members have erected a beau
tiful bas-relief in memory of the late
Joseph Hodges Choate. 1t was mod
eled by Mr. Herbert Adams. He has
produced an extraordinarily good, char
acterlstic portrait which is also dis
tingulshed work of art. A couple Of
books and manuscript in Choate'g
hand are the only accessories There
is nothing to break the simplicity of
the background, and the portrait is set
within classical frame, with the in ,
scriptjon lettercd below. The design
has unity, dignity and vitality. 1t is
charming memorial.
William NJ. Leslie has a ponchant for
painting marines with lighthouses and
rising and setting suns which radatc
roseate hues, after the fashion Of a
ncar-forgotten popular school. He
works minutcly, his effects signifyinc
mere prettlness. "Autumn," one Of the
few landscapes in the exhibition bold
last week at the Madison gallery. is in
soft scheme Of golden browns. and
comes much closer to good painting. It
is simple IN color and arrangement and
ehectivo IN an unassuming way. An
other landscape, rather good, is "Tbc
oid Monastery on tho Palatnc Hill.
lsomc." Here is & subject Of good
structure and warm color, but alto
gcthcr without distinction. There arc
few figures besides. One is an at
'ract'vc Italian female type in ro-
mantle costume. Another a nude. is
weak and uninteresting.
