4 colt, the former secretary, have
been painted, on order, by
Samantha L. Huntley Of Kinderhook,
N, Y. The portrait of DR.. Walcott
is hanging in the secretary's office, but
the portrait of Dr. Abbot is at present
on view in that section of the National
Museum. Tenth and B streets, given
over to the National Gallery collection.
It is a three-quarter length. and shows
DR.. Abbot standing. Both face and
figure are directly toward the observer
and the expression is that of alert in
terest. The left hand thrust in the
trousers pocket gives an air of ease
cally, the work is we'll rendered, so that
the portrait holds its own in good COM
pgny.
The painter is perhaps better known
abroad than in this country, although
shc is a member of the National Arts
Club, and has executed good many
notable portrait commissions here; such,
for instance, as a portrait of Col.
lamont in the War Department; por-
rats of Col William F. Villas for the
State historical library and courthouse
Il Madison. Wis: portrait of Gov
Frank w. Higgins for the Capitol at
Albany and of Archbishop Glennon for
the Archbishop's house in st. Louis
Mrs. Huntley has spent. however. many
years in Europe, studying at the Ecole

was spent in Spain, making an inten-

In one of the small end galleries, oc-
Ipying one entire wall, is the superb

as purchased and given to the Ma
ional Gallery of Art last Summer by
Gorge D. Pratt of New York, well
>nown as a conservationa1ist and a
,sanch adherent Of our national park
rrogram. This painting undoubtedly
represents Thomas Moran at his best.

interpretations of this magnificent ave-
inspiring subject that has been made.
In the same room, and of special in
tarest in connection Herewith, is a
,arge and admirable painting by Lu-
c1en Powell of the Yellowstone Canyon

Laurence of Mount Mckinley, with
.uow-covered peak among the clouds
'lr Powell, it will be remembered. has
been for many years one of on" ,ad-
ing local artists and has specialized in
recording his impressions of the seem
cry in our great West and Venetian

eur American painters who has lived
FOR years in Alaska, and one who holds
the high esteem of his fellow artists

THERE were, it will be remembered,
three Moran brothers. all painters
aysI INCr IN 1nr
IN 1897, and Peter born in 1912 They
were of English birth and family, but
were brought to this country by their
parents when the youngest was only
Two years old. OF the three, Thomas
undoubtedly attained greatest distinc-
len. OF him it is said that his sub
iects were taken from one or another
Of the places he visited and studied,
row Venice, now the Yellowstone re-
zion, now Niagara and now the luxu-
RANT meadows of Kent and Sussex, or
the quiet villages and pastures of Long
Island" 1t was his Western subjects,
however. which brought him most
fame
Edward Moran, on the other hand,
PAINTED chiefly fishermen or scenes of
alter and boats. and it is we'll worth
noting that the National Gallery of Art
has received recently from Mrs. Clara
l.. Tuckerman gift of three represent
alive works by the second of the Moran
brothers. One of these is n picture Of
he open sea, another is Of little boat
Weathering a squall and the third is
entitled "Life-Saving Patrol" and pic
lures a lifesaver, lantern in hand, fol-
lowed by his dog, patrolling a wave
swept beach. The moon has just come
out from under heavy storm clouds anc
it's light is brilliantly reflected on the
sea and the wet sand. Against thi:
light the dark figure of the patrolmar
is Interestingly silhouetted. This is thu
kind of subject Winslow Homer woulC
have found interesting and 4 is painted
very much in his vigorous style. Oh
viously. it depends to some extent OF
subject for interest, but 1t is none tn
less well painted for this reason. 1t i
