best landscape artists . A certain quality in Miss Stoddart ' s painting * is suggestive of Creswick ' s influence : let her study this master
more , and she will conquer the present difficulty which destroys the value of her productions .
Mrs . J . T . Linnell has a small picture , Sheaves , which betrays her master and model . Were it not too woolly , it would be pretty .
The effects of light are good . . ( 138 ) A Water - . Mill on the Avon , Tewkesbury , by Mrs . S . Wilkins , is a very pleasing picture .
Louise Rayner contributes six pictures of old places , but we cannot say that she either keeps the promise of former years or does
herself justice . ( 123 ) Burial Place of the St . Clares , Roslyn Chapel , wants force and substance ; and the lights are badly distributed
, producing a patchy effect . ( 132 ) Assembly of Monks in Glasgow Crypt , is unnecessarily dark and dirty , and does not to our thought
convey any adequate impression of the place . Florence Peel sustains her character for industry and faithful work . She also
has six pictures , varied in subject and merit .- ( 179 ) " After Life ' s fitful Fever he sleeps well , " is a pretty thought , prettily treated .
( 36 ) Aram Lilies is somewhat careless , and evidently unfinished . Views of and in Cork , and a Portrait , complete the set .
Miss Gimingham evinces nice taste and feeling in three water-€ olor drawings , but she has a tendency to over-color , or rather to
too crude coloring ; the purples in ( 181 ) and ( 204 ) are instances of what we mean . ( 211 ) Beachy Head , Sussex , is a very faithful
and agreeable picture . Mrs . Backhouse has several very pleasing pictures . ( 201 ) Our Pie , is a favourable specimenas is also ( 280 )
, Patient Waiting : the expression of the children in this last is very sweet and charming . Mrs . Backhouse ' s children are ruddy
specimens of robust health , almost too full of what the doctors call " red blood . " Clara E . H . Kettle , a name we do not rememberis very
, unsuccessful in two water-color pictures ; the coloring is bad , pale , and washy ; we suspect this lady mistakes her vocation when she
handles colors . Her " Study from the Antique" ( 287 ) is exceedingly beautiful—quite a gem in its way . It is a shaded study of
the Venus of Milo , on ivory , and shows great talent for drawing . Several foreigners have contributed to the exhibition The Queen
of Art , Rosa Bonheur , has a _" Drawing of Animals , " in chalk , vigorous and life-like as usualand four small bronzestwo bullsa
, , , sheep , and a goat , exquisitely modelled .. Madame Juliette Peyrole _( n £ e Bonheur ) sends two pictures , Combat de Coqs ( 52 , ) hideous
, specimens of the hideous Cochin China breed , but very spirited and clever ; and Dindons ( 75 ) .
La Captivite de Babylone , by Mdlle . L . E . de Guimard , is a work of considerable merit , but placed so disadvantageously , over the
entrance door , that it will be lost to many . Grace , ease , and dignity characterize the pose of the figuresand give a noble and
, touching expression to the composition . Madame Georgii has two
very good heads ; one the portrait of her husband , Professor
