he has helped to encourage and develop an in
terestng art colony. Both men are well known
as painters.
Two women will be included among the con-
tributors to this exhibition Jane Peterson of
New York, and Fern Coppedge of Philadelphia.
The former is at the present time best known
for her rich and exquisite flower paintings;
the latter for landscapes. Both have received
many honofs and are represented in some of

THE Colonial Danes of Richmond, Va, re-
Gently celebrated the fortieth anniversary
OF the formation of their chapter at which
time copy by Hattie E. Burdette of this city
of portrait of Washington by Charles Wilson
Peale tremendously unveiled. This
portrait is the one known as THE Virginia
Colonel" and belongs to Washington and Lee
University. 1t is included in the Bcentennial
exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. and
Miss Burdette, under commission, copied it here
last Summer. 1t is full size and a very &C
curate transcription. The portrait, as those
who have seen it lately will recall is three
quarter length and represents Washington in
the uniform of British Colonial army officer
at the age of 40 four years before the Revolu-
ton
During the past year Miss Burdette has made
several copies of historical portraits for his
torical buildings, two three for Arlington
House. and this for Richmond. She Is
particularly skillful in the matter Of interpre-
tation. temporarily laying aside her own in
dividuality in order to render faithfully the
work in the spirit of the original. 1t should
not be thought, however that Miss Burdette
is only a copyist She has painted and has
almost continuously commissions to paint,
portraits from life in oil and pastel and in
miniature and, partly pastime she paints
now and then very charming still life subjects
and flowers, by which she is frequently repre-
sented in the local exhibitors. To make good
copy, however, is not simple undertaking.
1t may surprise some to know that for the
purposes of study, Sargent, Chase Carroll Beck
with and the early American portrait painters
made copies, and delightful ones, of works Of
the great masters. Sully secured sufficient
funds to go abroad and study in England by
accepting commissions from Philadelphians to
make and bring back to them copies Of the
works Of the great masters.
