many Of these portraits cannot be

the nucleus of our National Portrait
Gallery on the walls in the Tenth

show to excellent advantage. These
portraits were painted by distinguished
American artists. among them Cecilia
Beaux, Charles Hopkinson, John &.
Johansen and his wife. Jean McLane,
by order of a special committee, of
which Herbert Pratt Of New York was
chairman, and are both commemora-

these portraits were painted.

entitled Evening Calm" shows an old
